What to say?
I know lots of us find it easy to note our feelings on a bad run of luck (some laugh, pricks cry). I am wondering how people react to good luck. I personally say something like "oof" if I get lucky enough to kill a dude, I empathize but I sure as hell am not sorry. Some I have played say "whew I was lucky" "sweet" etc. this seems reasonable (cause it is along the same lines as my actions and I am uber reasonable;). I find that occasionally this line of communication can mitigate what appears to be the beginning of a blow-up thus saving the universe (the opponent anyway) from psychic pain. Also how do y'all feel about emoticons in game chat? Studies show that even babies can associate positive feelings with :) so I try to :) wherever reasonably appropriate.

If I am ever having a ridiculously blatent stretch of *good* luck... I do everything in my power to attribute it to my own skill, my lack of opponent's game sense and stored up karma for being a sickeningly humble human being. I'm even responding to this blog at church, so I will often throw in the fact that Jesus loves me more than everyone else too.

LOL. That's the spirit, Melmoth!
And yeah... my Vamps would be a true terror if they ever didn't destroy themselves building to get INTO ranked tourneys ;)

No matter if the dice horribly favor me or my opponent it is still a shame. I do not want to win a game thats entirely based on pure luck, and Chaos Gods forbid any lesser coach win over me by sheer luck alone.

Always tricky. I usually end up commenting in some way to say I understand they are currently unlucky/me silly lucky :s
If the whole game continues like that I offer a rematch later on hopefully with more even dice.
I also use "ouch" and similar short comments.

Similar to Sven. I tend to point out / apologise when the dice blatantly favour me but keep quiet / laugh it off when they are blatantly against me.

I pretty readily admit when the dice hand me a game (or hand my opponent one, I try to be fair). When my chaos team causes a T4 concession for having 8 cas already, I have no problem attibuting it to Nuffle's graces (or Khorne's). But when my woodies have 47% luck to my opponent's 80% for the first half of a game, I don't let that slip by either.
