He does have to decide it by dice roll though he may not have known that as the rule requiring it is kinda buried in the appendix. I think that he is still required to be the one to preform the dice roll though.

Yes, it seems Matt missed that we have a strict definition of “random”, which is fair enough (from the GNDT comments he tried a decent enough scam of creating a Chest at his current location, arguing that it was “as “random” as any”, before realising and correcting himself).

And you’re right, the rule is “Upon doing so, they should create a Chest on a random Island, with DICE3 Pieces inside, and with themselves and one random other Hunter as its Keepers.” and he failed to do this, so it’s more accurate to say that the Chest simply doesn’t exist.

(A harsh reading of this error would be that he “should” have done this when he spent 1 Piece, and he didn’t, and that it’s too late now…)

That series of plays relating to the map was very problematic, as I did not realize the randomness definition elsewhere, reverted, reapplied, but neglected to select a “random” Hunter using dice.

Good catch, Kevan.

So where are we leaving this? It seems very late to take an action “upon doing so” now, but if you’ve taken no other game actions since, perhaps it’s fair enough to take these actions very, very slowly.

(We really should return to Josh’s imperative rework some time.)

I’m sure nobody would begrudge you a “gain 1 Piece” proposal, if you want to say that it’s too late now.

Nice.
