[OOC] Everyone is Jorde [Comedy / Fantasy / Madness!]

[Mae]

@doltboy you have to declare you're adding points beforehand :D

[Doltboy]

@Mae - As someone who's never played this game before, how do I determine what actions require dice rolls, and how do I determine what rolls I need in each situation?

[Mae]

@doltboy anything a normal person has a chance of failure at, Jorde has to roll for.

But if you're attempting actions i'll let you know if something needs to be rolled for to help you get the hang of it :D

What are you thinking of doing?

[Doltboy]

@Mae - What roll do I need to succeed? Just so I can work out whether I want to spend extra points...

[Eklispe]

+ Goals have three types: Easy, Moderate and Hard.

Easy goals are things like eating a piece of candy, locking a door or getting someone's name. They are worth the least number of points and only require 1 roll to succeed at.
Moderate goals are things like getting married, coverting people to your religion, or dressing up in woman's clothing and successfully hitting on strangers. They require 2 successful rolls to complete.
Hard goals are your end game - this could be ending the world, saving the world, flying off into space, mass murder, ect. They are worth the most points of all and need 3 successful roles to succeed.

Skills
Each Spirit can have 2 skills. When you roll for a success involving one of your skills, you only need 3+ to succeed. If you are unskilled in something, you need a 6 to win. Spirits can spend A point of willpower before they roll to add +1 to their dice roll.

@Mae

[Doltboy]

So, if I'm unskilled at searching for specific books in a library, I need to roll a 6?

[Mae]

yep! you can decide to do something else, convince me your skill applies here, or spend points to make it easier.

@eklispe oh hi der ;3

[Doltboy]

Rolled, and added 1 for a spent point. Total of 5...

[Eklispe]

hai

[Vesuvius00]

I'm starting to really like writing for Athaliah. crazy, crazy Athaliah.

[Mae]

@doltboy is there any way you can use a skill to bring it down to a 3+? else it'll be a bid for control ;3

edit: bid for control time!

[Mae]

@Vesuvius00

Jorde failed a task, so we are reopening bids for control! How many willpower, if any, are you spending this round? Everyone must tell me their bet (even if it's 0!) so we can continue :D

Roosan: 3
TheUnknowable: 3
Duthguy: 4
UberBlutwurst: 0
Doltboy: 0
Lucidnonsense: 0

[Barrett]

I'll bid three, cautious but not too cautious.

[TheUnknowable]

3

[Duthguy]

4

[Doltboy]

No.

[Mae]

@Doltboy how much are you betting?

[UberBlutwurst]

Not betting (0)

[Doltboy]

The 'No.' was me declining to bet. Zilch, as it were.

[Doltboy]

So far, the only game properly running - applied for three others. One was dead within two posts of the OP, one's disappeared and faded away, and the other got so popular we appear to have scared off the OP (almost up to 20 player characters in total) - people are working out how to take over...
