Add a new Rule to the Ruleset entitled “Sainthood” containing the following text:

If a Monk has a Station of Heaven, {Blessings of at least one,} Integrity of at least 90 and has never broken a vow, e may often make a comment to the GNDT containing three DICE21 checks.  If three of these checks have the same result, e has acheived Victory.

If at least one third of all comments containing counted votes also contain the text “Don’t be a snob”, delete the part of the above rule surrounded by brackets. 

Delete the brackets from the above Rule.

Another victory by dice checks proposal?

The dice checks are only a minor part of the condition.  In order to qualify, you need to die in good standing first.  Then you need to perform “three miracles”.

Tsk, you added the snob clause after I commented if I recall correctly.

You commented while I was editing.  I would have made more edits had you not commented.  IRC please?

against I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. (Ecclesiastes 9:11)

Don’t be a snob.

for Don’t be a snob.

I’m not sure if it’s your intention but when you say “If three of these checks have the same result”, I read that as any 3 individual dice rolls under this rule.  Thus, you’d be bound to win in 21 sets of 3 rolls and likely to win much more quickly.  (Sorry, I can’t remember enough statistics to calculate the expected value of number of rolls required for victory.)

By the way, I think both Kevan and Excalabur have one Blessings that weren’t converted from Cheese in the Gostak Dynasty.

Bucky: read the preview if you’re not certain, don’t post-and-edit.  There’s enough of us on here at any random time to prevent what you tried to do from working a large fraction of the time.
