Remove the two PuP’s with highly boosted stats from Crumb’s roster, and from play.
Restore $1,000,000 to Crumb’s Cash
Restore   $188,000 to Publius Scribonius Scholasticus’s Cash (9778988- 9590988)
Restore $20,000 to Publius Scribonius Scholasticus’s Cash (The Amount of the two Pup’s)
Remove $1,000,000 from Publius Scribonius Scholasticus’s Cash.

This undoes a frankly rediculous reading of the rules where a single dice roll can be left at its original number and used as that result for a large number of moves, which it being specified in the rules. The roll in question is particuarly abusive, as its a 5 on a d100: 10 times better than the average.

I am completely removing the Pup’s from play because it makes cleanup easier: instead of modifying bloggers in complex ways that could be abused, all costs are refunded.

Wouldn’t it be better if Publius Scribonius Scholasticus just rolled the necessary d100s for the rolls be made and paid the difference from those and the 5 he used??

That sounds like a pain in the ass, honestly.  And you still benefit from abuse of the rules.

It’s not a matter of interpretation or ridiculous reading of the rules. You legit have to actually roll dice (each time) when the rules say that you need a dice roll value.

Quote:

“To roll dice, post DICEX in the comments field of the GNDT, replacing X with the number of sides on the die you wish to roll.”

Ergo, If you haven’t posted a DICEX in the GNDT, you haven’t actually rolled dice, so you couldn’t have completed the operations stated.

I’m really torn on this one. PSS might have gotten us good here. I’m explicitly abstaining (unless more votes will speed up quorum)

I will abstain from the matter.

I don’t really know how you think you did that or in that sequence.
Maybe it’s time for combos to make a run again.  for

If this passes it also needs to restore my image to None and refund me for the PEDs I used on them. Do I need to open a new CfJ to get that done as well?

Yes

Consensus reality so if everyone is chill with you doing it without a CfJ then np.

Although better just make a CfJ because it should work regardless of the case we’re in lol.
