Yahtzee with Buddies
Dice with Buddies
The Different Types of Yahtzee Players
Once you start playing either ywb or dwb, you'll see a pattern develop. There are several different aspects to the game to draw players into particular categories.
There are the usual custom dice collectors and they do whatever it takes to get those shiny new custom dice. Right now, the light up lightning dice are the rage - pretty cool, huh? So, below are the types that I have identified and you can chime in if I missed something.
Let me know which you fall into...
Chatty Patties - These play PvP (player versus player) and greet you everyday. They earned the social butterfly dice and easily obtained the XP for being a socialite. You miss them if they don't show up.
Dice Duel Masters - The goal is that one crown that can only be obtained by playing 60 straight days and ending the season with the highest number of wins - only one winner! They usually don't play PvP or anything else. They usually don't get along with Chatty Patties since it slows down the playing. They could play several dice duels at once, probably up to four.
PvP Family - They only play people on their facebook or just family. They decline games with others and won't chat with you either. They aren't as addicted but go in spurts later in the day.
Daily & Premium - The goal here is to earn bonus rolls to get other assets maybe the entry fee for dice duels for trading for diamonds or to complete the showdown towers in one day (eliminate wait time). These players come out in droves for the custom dice. You don't stand a chance by the way of winning, so hope for winner's circle or honorable mention. If you do win one then you cheated. Own up to it!
Whiners - They play and whine about the ads, the bonus rolls, the towers being rigged, the cheaters, not winning enough, the towers being too difficult to beat, the cost of buying custom dice. Stop already.
Action Jackson - These players are here to play, and I'm not talking about yahtzee or dice. They want some type of action. That is the beauty of the block button. This is not yahtzee dating, although there have been successful relationships and at least one marriage that I know of!
Quiet Violet - Mostly women fall into this label. They have been hit on so many times, they just don't answer to any message - even the simple "Hi." These players just want to play and are not into the chatting - just get the XP and churn out games or achievements.
Fast Play - They like the idea of the tournament but that takes too long. They don't want to compete with the 1,000 or so other plays. They feel they have a better chance of winning something when there is only 2-150 plays. Risk versus reward.
Towers Only - XP is harder to earn but playing the towers does get more very quickly along with dice duels over the 100 win mark.
Just Play - They don't care about the custom dice and probably have the starter dice. They don't move right away and take a long time to actually finish a game. Sometimes they will play fast but it doesn't matter if they they lose. They are very similar to PvP family and have given up on doing the towers since they can't win anyway.
The Back to School tower has a second part - Defeat Pastie. I have no idea why they came up with that names because it makes me think of something else! But anyway, Pastie is a random appearing dice master that appears for about an hour throughout the day. Keep checking and you'll see him in the Events and Rewards area. Look for the special events.
Notice the little plus in the center of the crown. This means that you've just added another apple to the crown. If you beat Pastie more than six times then you won't get anything other than the XP, Diamonds, and crowns.
Once you start playing either ywb or dwb, you'll see a pattern develop. There are several different aspects to the game to draw players into particular categories.
The "Back to School" showdown tower started and you only have to face seven dice masters and have to beat Professor Threesium to obtain the pencil custom dice! Can you beat the tower in the 21 days that it lasts? Come on and give it a try before you get caught up with all the homework. 
You can put Prof. Threesium to shame but scoring a couple of yahtzees. He will try to sneak a yahtzee in the top section so be sure to go for the knock out.
Completion bonus is active for this tower meaning that you can earn some extra diamonds, XP and crowns for defeating the tower quickly - in the first five days.
