Hi all,

Gargantua said that The “diced challenged” theory/rule which was under discussion during XDAP 2 preliminary planning, is officially stricken from the record.

There was room for possible exploitation. But of course, no one here would do anything like that… ;)

Hence forth, whatever dice you will roll, or have rolled thus far in the tournament. Are a permanent fixture in time :D

Does that mean reroll is no longer available  in our game?

@bmnielsen:

I assumed no scramble from Egypt, if you want to then just roll for the ftr on the forum and edit as necessary.

Your assumption is correct.  Are you having a baby, Bmnielsen? Do let us know the good news pls.

Quick question:

Gargantua said that The “diced challenged” theory/rule which was under discussion during XDAP 2 preliminary planning, is officially stricken from the record.
There was room for possible exploitation. But of course, no one here would do anything like that.

Could you tell me what the dice challenged theory/rule is and what kind of exploit exists?
I have no clue so far what this is about.

Thanks!
