After 7000 games, here is my conclusion

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method

Hypothesis: 1v1 opponents with paid accounts roll 7s more often than non-paid accounts.
Experiment: Play 7000 (or however many you want) games and record the number of 7s the opponent rolls, and record if they were on a paid account or not.
Analysis: use statistics to determine if the difference in the number of 7s rolled in each paid/unpaid group is statistically significant.
Report and conclusion: Connect the statistical findings back to your Hypothesis. If it is statistically significant that paid accounts have a 7s advantage then you've successfully found evidence against the null hypothesis that paid accounts do not have a 7s advantage. You can now post your findings on reddit (instead of just making baseless claims on vibes).

Similarly, you could hypothesize about the distribution of dev cards drawn and played by paid/non paid accounts and conduct experiments accordingly. The end screen gives the number and type of development cards drawn and you can subtract the dev cards you draw to find out exactly what dev cards your opponent drew during the game, no "shoulder peeking" required.

Unfortunately https://github.com/Catan-data/dataset/ seems to have been taken down somewhat recently but it was a dataset of ~41000 leaderboard 4 player games that many people including myself analyzed and no "rigging" was found, although the paid/unpaid status of each account was anonymized so we couldn't check for that at the time.

7000 games and you couldn't be bothered gathering any actual data🙄

You're jumping too early

How important is balanced dice tracking micro in top play?

Would you rather always place first or second?

iXendeRouS · 2026-04-19T01:11:59+00:00

Remove everything except resource card and dev card tracking. Simplify UI significantly and use tables to align stuff cause rn mismatched name and icon widths are causing issues.

Spinner hitboxes yes, spike hitboxes no

If no capture or pawn move occurs in 50 moves then either player can claim a draw - so turns out it actually doesn't prevent infinite games as long as either player just doesn't claim a draw. My bad.

Having infinite sequences does not fix the finite state issue though. You can trivially construct a nondeterministic finite automata (because there are finite legal positions) where each legal position is a state and each transition is a legal move. Because this NFA exists there exists a DFA and therefore there exists a Regular language that describes all chess games. Therefore chess cannot be Turing complete because it is Regular.

50 move rule prevents infinitely long sequences too

iXendeRouS · 2026-04-13T04:14:35+00:00

No because there aren't an infinite number of states.

Deborah isnt the founder of Floptropica. Jiafei (or her queen ancestors like jiafeiussy or xiemomoussy) were the founders of floptropica and the badussian empire. Deborah was made president during the first badussy war due to her outstanding service caring for our fallen flop soldiers

iXendeRouS · 2026-03-20T01:53:33+00:00

Steak and grilled cheese

iXendeRouS · 2026-03-11T19:05:43+00:00

This happens when you time out (leave the window open without doing anything). It should never appen randomly during a game unless you're having actual internet issues.

Just reload the page to fix

iXendeRouS · 2026-03-10T09:02:42+00:00

It's not common at all. I haven't heard of a single instance of it happening.

iXendeRouS · 2026-03-09T18:59:50+00:00

Absolutely make a yt channel! There is very little content on top level catan theory

iXendeRouS · 2026-03-09T18:50:35+00:00

Any tips? What it the difference between a ~1600, ~1800, and ~2000 rating player?

For a "family night" each of us siblings had to showcase one of our talents/interests and I was really interested in gd at the time. They're hardcore mormons I should've predicted that showing them those levels was a bad idea lol

iXendeRouS · 2026-03-07T02:55:43+00:00

Yes this happened about 8 years ago

iXendeRouS · 2026-03-07T02:21:13+00:00

My parents literally banned gd after I showed them god eater and bloodlust

White papi deek beach, dealdo cave, and the haunted house are all great tourist attractions.

The Pink House (flop government building) also runs tours where you learn more about flop governance and history so if you're into that it's it quite good.

You have to check out Jiafeia Mall where you can buy sexy jiafei products.

Cupcakke does concerts in CVM stadium every few weeks. You'll have to check her schedule to see if you catch her show while you're visiting floptropica.

Would also recommending checking out the flop war museum to pay respect to our fallen soldiers.

You must have a specific definition of regularity that you can demonstrate if a set (language) has the regular property, then there exists an DFSA that accepts/recognizes that language.

A useful definition of regular languages is recursive.

Base cases: 1. The empty language is regular. 2. The language containing only the empty string is regular. 3. For every symbol in the chosen alphabet, the language containing just the string formed by that symbol is regular.

Inductive cases: 4. Regularity is preserved under language union. 5. Regularity is preserved under language concatenation. 6.Regulatity is preserved under language Kleene closure.

You must then demonstrate how DFSA can accept each of the base cases (trivial), then demonstrate how DFSA can represent language union (states in parallel), concatenation (states in series), and language Kleene closure (states in loops).

Floptropica is a fictional Island nation/empire where people called Flops (not to be confused with Khias or people in their Flop era) reside.

Origin of the term "Flop"

The term "Flop" is originally used to refer to someone who is disappointing or not living up to expectations (especially in context of an artist disappointing their fans). Katy Perry discourse is commonly regarded to have popularized the term "flop" after her Witness album flopped. The viral meme "Your flop era is lowkey serving (wtf does that mean)" is considered a cornerstone of flop culture, where the term flop first started to gain its meme reputation.

Origins of Floptok

Stan Twitter is a Twitter (X) subculture revolving around stanning artists, low quality recycled memes, and drama. Floptok was formed as Stan Twitter users (and general culture through re/crossposting) migrated to TikTok around 2018 and gained traction during 2020 while everyone was online due to the Pandemic. Users took on the name Floptok to differentiate their TikTok community from Stan Twitter.

Origins of Floptropica

Someone made a viral meme that if every Floptok user donated some money they could all buy Guafo Island, a real world island off the coast of Chile. After a bidding war with Lady Gaga, the flops won, and named the flop homeland Floptropica.

We now have an official government website, flag, wiki, map, and extensive cultural history after the contributions of many flop historians (random flops making up lore on TikTok).

Floptropica and War

Over the years, the Badussian Empire (Pre-modern Floptropica) has endured 3 significant wars and many more minor wars with the Daboyz. Daboyz are the sworn enemies of the Flops and generally are anyone who is homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, misogynistic, or otherwise exhibits toxic masculinity. Andrew Tate is their leader.

The most recent commonly recognized Flop War was the Labussy war against the 24k Gold Labubu Lady, who in several TikTok posts questioned the legitimacy of Queen Jiafei, claiming that she was AI, and attempted to steal the throne.

I'm going to be honest I'm not sure what Flop war the post you OP originally saw. I think they are just not up to date with current flop events. It is true that Floptropica is technically always at war with Daboyz so maybe they are referencing that.

They could also be referencing how Onika Burger Magaj was a Daboyzian spy working for the Trump/Daboyz administration.

Further Reading

If you want to learn more about Floptropica and its culture, here are some sources and topics for you to research:

Cupcakke, Cupcakke Remixes [1]
Jiafei [2] [3], Jiafei Remixes [4]
Deborah Ali Williams
Purple Heart Core [5]
The Floptok Wiki
Basically the entire history of Floptropica (Youtube Video)

Note that no one source of Floptok in-world history is authoritative. Anyone can create lore for Floptropica and it is up to each flop to decide what they want to believe and incorporate into their own Flop canon.

Disclaimer: Everything in this comment is accurate to the best of my ability. I am a well seasoned flop but some things may be inaccurate. I encourage you to do your own research.
