BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Should Slingshot Sam have a position?

Yes, both Slugs should have a non zero Position according to their effects.

Slugs are now updated

The Slug of Death Crawls

Lucky roll there on your first move. What made you take the risk?

I wasn’t really thinking all that hard about it, I just saw nothing was happening despite the fact things could be happening. I figured that was somewhat unhealthy for the dynasty, so decided to do something to at least generate some noise. If anything this was against my best interests, since now everyone else can do the same thing but with a 1 in 4 chance of success instead of my 1 in 5.

It definitely was against your best interests. That’s why I asked. Thank you for your bravery despite the odds.

I Leapfrog

I Leapfrog again

I Leapfrog a third time (crossing fingers)

I Leapfrog a fourth time (is it the charm?)

NB: in the Dice Roller, I had Kevan in the list, not realizing that he had idled until just now. I’m re-rolling those 4 that I had erroneous previously rolled, but this time without Kevan.

(also, does it seem like if you roll the Dice Roller too fast in a row, it brings up the same results? I feel like I’ve seen this before)

I Crawl, and that’s my max of 5 Moves until “The Podium” passes.

(6 Slug of Death in a row? Wtf dice roller?!?)

I don’t remember a fast dice issue. We’ve had some suspicion in the past about the dice roller favouring the first face of a die, but I think the effect went away whenever it was examined. Feel free to chuck extra test dice to investigate either.

Eh, it’s just super bad luck it seems. I waited a few minutes before that last roll and it still came up Slug of Death.

I believe JD’s last 3 Moves there were illegal per “If the Position of a Snail is after the Finish Line, Moves may be made only by Snails who have made less Moves on the Ongoing Race than any Snail who is after the Finish Line”. My current proposal “The Podium” fixes this issue. Fortunately for JD, he’ll get to redo his last 3 Moves again.

You’re right. Maybe RNG will be a little bit more in my favor next time, though unfortunately the odds will be lower with more Snails in the race, as Opt Out will get enacted before The Podium.

Actually, it won’t matter. “Death Comes For Us All” will enact, and I’ll get stuck behind the Slug of Death.

I could withdraw my own Proposal, but I’m not going to. I took the Leapfrog risk…I accept my fate.

Note the Slug of Death’s new position, for those of you who haven’t made a Move yet.

Raven1207, your move was illegal because your position was behind the Slug of Death, which prevented you from moving.

This Race is no longer Ongoing. Closing comments on it.
