I can get behind the intent, but I’m really not a big fan of this specific implementation;  it’s already an annoying calculation to make for oneself, but then also muddies each Island’s understanding of every other Island’s chances of explosion.  I won’t vote against yet, just to allow some discussion and edits.

I also think it’s metaphorically hazy: a wide, flat island is surely less likely to be explosive?

We (potentially) end on round 15. That means we’ll be rolling DICE5 at the very end, and that doesn’t seem like a functional end game. The time element is much stronger than the land element.

@bais I agree this is a little clunky. But think we need some form of catchup mechanisms

@josh all of the tectonic stuff is metaphorically hazy so I figured I might as well just embrace it =D

@derrick the formula is 80 plus five times the current round minus the Island’s Land, so on round 15 it would be 80+75-Land so if you have 50 land by that point you’d still be rolling a DICE105. Idea being that the longer the game goes, the more land its safe to have

“eighty plus five times the current round” is also, hmm, I dunno - written out like that, without punctuation, it feels like you could make a counter-BODMAS argument that it should be (80+5)*x rather than 80+(5*x)

about to time out and have no votes, so if people really want this we should repropose
