When is it socially acceptable to throw the dice of your friends into traffic?

[FedRatCowboy]

in a word, yes.

We never threw other people's dice but there was a tradition of throwing our own under-performing dice on top of a movie theater that shared a parking lot with the game shop that we played at. The theater was torn down and replaced not too long ago and I can only imagine the bewilderment of the construction crew finding all of those dice among the debris.

It is just the wildest thing, but it keeps happening. My assault 'mechs keep getting headcapped. And I know what you are going to say: assault 'mechs draw a lot of fire. Except that isn't the case. We are talking early rounds of combat. 'Mechs almost untouched. Over and over again. A PPC to the face. Gauss rifle to the face. Floating crit with a large laser. Lost a Hunchback that way too.

This time my BattleMaster took three groups of indirect LRM fire to the dome across two turns. Yes: two turns. The second round resulted in back-to-back 12s from my friend. As if the to-hit wasn't high enough with indirect LRM fire.

Guys, it is maddening. When I GM the campaign, they are all incompetent. A lance of Vedettes and a stiff wind is a threat to them. One-on-one: forget it.

This is really just me venting. I know I can't throw their dice into traffic... yet.

But it is the case that they draw a lot of fire especially early on when numbers to hit tend to be high and the weapons that can reach out and touch someone many of them are head cappers.   The reality is it happens sucks.   I swear every single time I have ever used a Rifleman IIC it has got headcapped early on.  It is what it is

We were playing a massive BV game (like 10k/player) and I was running a Dire Wolf Prime, Timber Wolf TC and a Warhawk D, all with great pilots. Two turns in, my Timber Wolf eats a Gauss round to the head. The next turn, my untouched Dire Wolf eats some LBX flak and ends up with floating gyro and hip crits. I miss the PSR and pull another floating crit: to the head and cockpit.

I wanted to flush everyone's dice....

There's only been one time when I've run a Dire Wolf without it eating a TAC by the second round.
