BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

So instead of “roll five dice” your third roll should have legally been “keep 1 miss, roll four dice”?

If we regard the fifth die in that roll as an invalid extra, the outcome would have been “Miss-Taunt-Punch-Leap-Leap” rather than the “Taunt-Punch-Leap-Leap-Leap” you played. That would have scored zero rather than +3, and you wouldn’t have been able to Goad yourself to take another turn and score another +1.

I think any CfJ to resolve this should also be deducting 4 from your Contribution.

Deducting the full 4 is clearly not an outcome that makes any sense; at that stage I might as well just revert and get my turn back, the extra labour be damned.

Regarding the fifth result as the odd one out is also arbitrary. I’ll accept the loss of the Taunt and the subsequent 1 Contribution as a fair sanction; that’s been edited in.

If you’re asked to roll four dice and mistakenly roll five, and the die roller spits out the results one at a time, ignoring the fifth one seems natural enough.

I’d accept other readings on that - randomly determining which four of the five dice were the legal ones, or having you roll four fresh dice as a legal “Rolling X Fight Dice in the Die Roller” action - but it doesn’t seem fair to let a player keep four points that they could not have acquired.

Three points, even. But your edit came after the four hour mark, there, didn’t it?

It would be pretty hypocritical of me to vote against this, given my own request to keep my points in a very similar CfJ.

I think I’m with Kevan here. I don’t think there is anything to revert — yeah you mistakenly kept a die you didn’t want to but we know exactly what your final roll should’ve been don’t we?

Kevan is right that this was edited outside of the 4h mark. It’s therefore unpopular under all circumstances.

Team Brendan’s punctilious scrupulousness does seem very convenient, however, given - as Brendan says - the passage of CfJ:// Banana Heel. Almost unsportingly so, one might say! (Note who the first FOR vote was on that CfJ, and how long they spent worrying about what was technically correct.)

well this CfJ is broken, & the other seems unsporting, so i’m going to wait until a better CfJ is posted about the matter. (i’d make one myself, but i don’t have the time today)
