Call for Judgment: Roll Off Off

Reached quorum 5 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 04 Apr 2025 10:22:12 UTC

Add a subrule to “Announcements of Attainment” called “No Rolling”:-

The Roll Off atomic action may not be performed.

The open DoV may close with a consensus that Ais’s “invent a second heuristic” loophole could have worked if it hadn’t also included a table in the post. If it does, the lucky admin who closes the DoV shouldn’t be able to immediately use a more careful version of the same loophole to win.

For what it’s worth, though, I think the scenario you’re trying to block here is unlikely – the rule explicitly requires there to be a description or table in the post that specifies the correct probabilities, and it’s hard to see how any scam could get around that requirement whilst providing only one rigged method.
