Roll to Dodge XXV: Furthermore Ludicrous Edition
(Part II)



Roll to Dodge 25??!? Yep, really. There have been 24 Roll to Dodge's attempted before this one. Admittedly most have been massive fails and premature abortions. I however, have completed my first Roll to Dodge. It took 33 Updates!

Setting: As chosen by RNG and Bratmon: Somewhere in the pacific, the Captain and most other commanding officers were found dead in a top secret nuclear submarine. The remaining crewmen must battle for their lives.

This is a simple game based off the original Roll to Dodge by Seon, and its evolution under Thorvald of Lym

The Rules are pretty simple:

1. Post an action.
2. Your result will be determined by the roll of a die.

Any action that triggers a third-party attack on the player immediately grants a free defence roll.

'Ludicrous Edition' increases the variability of results with a 20-sided die (actually a short Python script) that in addition to establishing the immediate success of an action, also determines random items found, health/power/money gained/lost, etc. The basic breakdown is as follows:

1 : Unbelievably total failure. Action WILL backfire.
2-4 : Failure, with penalty
5-7 : Marginal failure with possible penalty
8-10 : Failure, no penalty
11-13 : Straightforward success
14-16 : Success, with possible bonus
17-19 : Success, with circumstantial bonus
20 : MAXIMUM POWER. Guaranteed success, with added bonus.

Under binary conditions, 1-10 fails, 11-20 succeeds.

Note that attempting an action requiring an intermediate action (i.e. starting a car with no keys) automatically fails. Also note that the same action cannot be taken twice in a row. Take heed that your GM is unstable, and may tweak the playing field independent of player actions. Almost anything goes, but be warned that metagaming will anger me, an bad things will happen.

#I edit stats at the start of the turn, so and HP is lost etc before you will get a chance to roll.
#I quote all the actions and work down through them. Because of this the order of peoples posts is important. You cannot effect a roll happening before you, but you might affect all those afterwards..First come, first served. So get your actions in early!

Each player may submit one action per turn. I'll update whenever I feel like it. The game is played until one player remains alive.

It was a peaceful day in Ponyville, a pedestrian, predominantly earthpony settlement. Fresh summer air left a sense of tranquilty over Sweet Apple Acres and the rest of the outlying farmlands, while artisans went about their work in town. While there were a few adventurous ponies whose troubles and heroic deeds were the often the talk and rumors of the rest of the populace, all in all there had recently been a long period of relatively uninteresting times. The Everfree forest loomed to the West where few ponies dared to tread but as usual few gave it a second thought. To the Northeast one can spot in the mountains the citadel city of Canterlot where the Sun and Moon Princesses reign over the land, times of disagreement or conflict seemingly long past.

However, that was all about to change today. Suddenly, a terrible storm materializes in the sky. Except it's no natural storm, like a tear in the fabric of reality it connects to somewhere from another time and place, all the while crackling with unknown energy. All sorts of objects and perhaps even strange creatures appear from the rift. One large blue box, the likes of which nopony had ever seen before, comes hurtling through the sky to crash forcefully into the ground. It remains intact. Impossibly, a brown stallion emerges in panic and disarray. "What's going on here? Hooves!?" he shouts. "And still not ginger." The confusion of local spectators and anything he would have said to them were cut short when ominous, mechanical, and above all violent sounds caught their attention off in the distance.

----------
An we're off! So folks, there you have it, you are all trapped, underwater, somewhere in the pacific. The captain and most other commanding officers were found dead in a top secret nuclear submarine. I will throw in events on the ship which will affect all of you from time to time. All your dice rolls will now be taken into consideration that you are on this submarine. YOU, the remaining crewmen must battle for their lives. There are two WIN conditions for this game. Either get back to Pearl Harbour alive, or KILL everyone else :evil: Choice is yours ;)
 
Everyone, we can work together.
