Passed 5-0—Rodlen

In Rule 2.1.2 Containment, replace the second paragraph (beginning with ‘After 24 hours’) with the following text:
The energy used in the attempt is calculated by adding up all the numbers in the comments. After 24 hours have passed since the story post was posted, any Admin may resolve the post by rolling a DICEX in the GNDT, where X is the energy used in the attempt plus 20. If the result is greater than the energy used in the attempt, the Planar Entity has escaped. If the total is less than or equal to the energy used in the attempt, the Planar Entity has been contained and the text “(Contained)†is appended to the end of that Planar Entity’s entry in the “Planar Entities†wiki page.
So, basically, 20 energy gives a 50% chance, 40 energy gives a 66% chance, etc. - this should make pledging more energy worthwhile.
