It won't affect your roll, but I guess. Besides, I don't think I'll roll the dice right now.

Note that a random event has occurred.
I'm close to declaring that any action which does not include on of the side actions (see quote) will not count. Seriously, why do people ignore this?

Yes, of course. I'm referring to the other people (3 of 5 so far) who have not said what they are going to do with that.

hey, hey, you forgot to apply my bonuses!

Not, that the roll would have become that much better but still. +2/2 is +2/2.

I demand factoring that into the previous roll or rerolling my previous move.

For this one, I'll...

Let's see...
+2/2 +2/2 +2/2 - at the very least a 7/7. This gotta be interesting...

Huh. I guess I did... uhm... I mean... Mystical Powers prevented you from using your boons this turns! Ohhhh! Whooo!

Aww.
K.
The universe is mad at you :evil:

Note the editing in my previous post.

by **orangedragonfire** » Thu May 03, 2012 7:27 am UTC

I'm not sure what you are complaining about - the bonus would put you at 3/4, which is not really good for you. It would give you a temporary minus, and some random stuff would occur... not quite sure what, but it wouldn't be good for you. All in all, you came out ahead.

Anyway, I'm open to suggestions. What do people think I (or anyone else who rolls) should do if a bonus is overlooked?
a) Pretend nothing happened
b) Re-roll for that actions
c) Add the missed bonus for that action and change the outcome accordingly
Theoretically, I'd be for c), but the outcome of an action may easily affect the outcome of subsequent actions... changing for instance the first action in a roll might mean you have to re-do all of them. And that just seems excessive, so I vote for a)

by **cjquines** » Thu May 03, 2012 8:53 am UTC

I have the GM badge. I decide.

Person in question gets to do another action, with boons added.

by **kram2301** » Thu May 03, 2012 11:03 am UTC

Well, technically, my result should have been way worse than you made it be if the roll had the given values 1/2.
Btw, the universe being mad at you was a RL-joke. But who knows, maybe this has implications for the game :mrgreen:

I think, giving a bonus action sounds good. It's probably the easiest way out of this.
Though, since this is a randomness round, shall I also fullfill the task for my second action or is it enough for my first action to apply?

So in case this is not yet decied by merely showing the GM badge, I vote for d, what the GM proposed.

by **Snark** » Thu May 03, 2012 1:04 pm UTC

Don't forget the +1 from Velcro... you could get a 13! If that happens... we'll need a new thread!

If your action works, then Orangedragonfire will need a 13 to have any chance of escape.

by **kram2301** » Fri May 04, 2012 9:13 am UTC

Haha!
We'll see what the next dice roller comes up with

So, mr. GM, sir. Shall my second action conform to the randomness roll or not?
I assume it wont get the temporary bonuses that I got for the previous turn, since those should be there for my first action?

by **blademan9999** » Fri May 04, 2012 1:43 pm UTC

(Hang on a minute. Don't I get the +2/+1 bonus to anything to do with cute? I fused with them remember)
>Use my cuteness to convince the aliens to become another line of defense in preventing the Orangedragonfire from escaping.
(With the +1 everyone's getting from velcro an the +2/+1 from cute rolls that's a 4/2 minimum)
(Oh Kram, please also help with sealing ODF in please.)

by **kram2301** » Fri May 04, 2012 2:28 pm UTC

Ok, since I don't get further information apparently, I'll just assume, my second turn will neither require to conform to the randomness roll nor get any temporary bonuses that I wouldn't have had in the turn that wasn't properly calculated, so...

I'm not trying it. Vote ODF.

I'll do the rolls and actions. ODF updates the lists. (I hate updating long lists of confusion

by **orangedragonfire** » Sat May 05, 2012 3:35 pm UTC

So... you get to have the fun, while I have to do all the work? Meh. Anyway, if I'm not doing the roll, I can at least get to make an action.

secondary action: laugh

by **kram2301** » Sun May 06, 2012 11:30 am UTC

Oh, it's enough to build the special work into an own statement? I thought it's supposed to be built into the actual action...

by **orangedragonfire** » Sun May 06, 2012 3:16 pm UTC

It said "In addition to you mainaction, choose one..." I thought that made it pretty clear that wasn't supposed to be part of the main action.

@cjquines: just how long does rolling take for you?

by **cjquines** » Mon May 07, 2012 6:31 am UTC

After an unfortunate blackout, something terrible has happened. ALL ROLLS ARE GONE! Someone else please do it, I don't feel like rolling any more

.

by **kram2301** » Mon May 07, 2012 7:52 am UTC

aww :-/

Honestly, ODF, it wasn't very clear to me. Or, considering how many at first just wrote something without including any of the secondary action into it, I guess, to most anybody.

by **blademan9999** » Mon May 07, 2012 1:02 pm UTC

(What happened with your rolls, did Kram's roll break reality or something remember he has his normal +2/+2 his one from his ring, his next turn one, and everybody got a +1 from velcro.)
