Add Screw Dice #2742

Open TheOrgg opened 3 years ago

TheOrgg commented 3 years ago

So far, only the Buzzing Weasel has a Screw Die, but I feel like it is unique enough to open it up to Fanatics. Some people like Push-Your-Luck types of things, and this is without a doubt that.

If the Screw Die makes an attack and rolls odd, take another turn. If the Screw Die makes an attack and rolls even, lose the game.

So no BMO notation yet. That's the only thing I'd like to try and solve. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

Don't bother. It's unique to Buzzing Weasel, which is not worth implementing (though better than James Ernest), and allowing it on Fanatics invites abuse. (OK, it's not any worse than T&S, but why?)

TheOrgg commented 3 years ago

It's much worse than Time and Space. I'd expect this skill to be one of the final ones implemented, but I don't think it's unworthy. It's Button Men's Banding (but even that was okay, once you understood it-- This one's obviously intended to be bad).

"Flip a coin, tails you lose" isn't Banding, it's just random havoc. :^p

That said, I'm fine marking this as "don't implement until every other ticket is closed". :^ )

I'm going to argument against ever implementing Buzzing Weasel. In the world of joke BM, it's one of the jokiest, with multiple unique dice that will clutter up the skill encoding space.

We don't actually need to implement every single button ever made, particularly the gag ones.
