yep?  this seems  a little  more  confusing then it should.. we had  and 'olympic  -type  thing a couple years  ago on everest .. the  rolls  for PCs  were counted on Heavy as    the NPCs  with stats  did ok..but the    other  team  got  some bonuses to level the field.. it was a lot of   paperwork for me.. but it was  fun.

 when we have 'real' things like that, that  is  party of  a plot thing.  the   rules  will be layed out  at the start of the thread , or in Load out.

 think of this  as a bit of practice.

No problem hun, we are here to help and make the game fun. I live this game ty guys.

so?.. Vik?   send me yur   1st roll  (after  your  Mod)

 Harry ( if she wants to roll )

 Nikki  ( if she wants to Roll )

Justin, ( if he wants to roll)

 if you aren't  rolling, just have fun with it

 ok.. right now?..Just  need  Nikki and    HArry's  first rolls  if they are goign to roll., I'll tell you in PM  where you Place   so you can Post..

 as  far  as the  posts  Go.. Shadow   going into the turn is  '2nd roll area"

In reply to Justin Kase (msg # 44):

No worries man, I miss stuff on online games too

 for the newer  folks in this...this is good  trainign for when   wehave  'bigger ' tests  with   other stations   ect ect.

 i wasn't prepared for  folks wanted  to roll or I would have set it  up better..still?  this  wil work, and should be  fun, unless you roll low!

Doing an early 4th of July weekend with whole family (even those from way outa state) this weekend at the lake. I'll pop back in tomorrow

A lot of people ramble...they just can't figure out how to sum up their point.  It's a calculated risk...they sometimes find themselves stuck on a tangent...

I think I’ll stick to rp’ing my run as my luck with dice has been shocking up until this point

Well I think I did better with my rolls then if I rp ed so I am happy.

In reply to Lizzy Maris (msg # 55):

The roll results are highly variable

yay for highly variable results, they make sure nothing's predictable.

There  is a bit of  a paradox , when it  comes to the   'dice roll ' thing.

if there isn't  set parameters ( like we had  in the Everest contests ).. we  can  play  deeper  into the   training and such, and backrounds of the characters.

when we   do dice  rolls.. the Mods  and rolls   'rule the day'

(ask nikki! she did  real well on her   1st   1/3 )

anyway.. the best thing I ever  heard in gaming, from a couple  differant  rule  books,  anyone  one   can 'slip'..anyone   can 'trip'..and the worse   NPC  can get  a lucky hit.

 I bring this up all the time?... Bo came in to be the first  guy  down to try and save Shadow  on the Green Moon.  My Rolls had him   shot  down...and would have  been Very BAdly wounded ( we would have had to roll to see what happened. ).. according to  my  'hard-fast' rule... The player  can try to change that  outcome if I give them the option ( which I almost always do except for pure  stupid  things..((ajax)) )

 Bo's  Player  rolled  a 1.... Bo Vanished in a Ball of   fire  and Debris

anyway?  Shadow's Mods are  damn high.. I am RPing him   pushing  everyone to try to catch him, and  keeping notes  on who is  trying... the LAst Leg I'll roll.. so that PCs might have the chance to catch him

 so? have  fun with it.. you'll see more of such things down the line.. for differant purposes , but it helps  keep the game fluid.

 After    I post this   I'll send PMs  to the Players  for them  for thier  2nd  roll

   Nikki is   Up in front  , a little behind Shadow as   he  accelerates , into the first Curve.

 first off?.. every one  have fun..post where you want/need... I'm gonna play football now, and LAter  one , my Oldest  Grandson has a B-day party around  4:00PM  my time.

 I should be home around  6 or a bit  after.

…………………………………………………….

WHat... another bonus? I think one slipped me by, so I'll attend to this straight away.

not sure how I got in front...wanted to be in the middle.  lol

Reading and catching up now should have posts ready but mid afternoon

Been playing a new game so my attention has been on that the last 2 days but ill catch up with everything today.

Ooh what game

a new game love to hear about it?

My only issue with dice rolls is that although it will add a little randomness to the game, it’s rather embarrassing when a series of bad rolls results in your professional long distance runner does about as well as a ninety year asthmatic.

yeah.... that's  when you 'trip and  fall ' kinda thing.

 Example... I  was  running up field , I'm  an Older Guy... so the  DB is playing  me  tight  waiting  for me to  curl up or slant in.. But?.. I saw the safety sneak  over  to cover a faster  Guy.. and  I slipped up the sideline  caught a Ball, and  faked  out a  guy who played 4 years of college  ball and scored...

 yuou do that on TV..they  say 'no way'..so when dice  are overly good..or  overly  bad, I tend  to   'give a reason' for it

 That is very true, but it also could give a 5'3" redhead a chance to shine a little...
yeah dice rolls can be tough with several bad ones in a row.

Ok?.. all those  who are rolling, give me your Last roll.. I won't tell you what  Shadow's was?..But  he didn't roll well, but his MOds  pushed him upm there.. ( its almost cheating, except  its  the rules..::shrugs::

 anyway..a  very good  roll could have some one  catch him.
