Hey folks just dropping in for a quick update. So I've been doing some thinking. The best out of three system just really didn't sit right with me. Even with the slightly increased chance of rolling an auto-failure I felt it made the system too lenient.
It also encourages strategic voting. If a voter comes in late and sees that a previous option has already succeeded they basically know that it is now a sure bet and can make their decision accordingly.
I do not like giving my players certainty before I reveal the outcome. For I am a capricious QM >:D
So here's how it will go down from now on: You will roll no dice and you will be happy. After I tally the votes I shall roll the dice for the winning vote as I post the final result and begin writing accordingly.
The probability distribution for 2d6 is on a bell curve which means the majority of the possible outcomes are clustered around the number 7. This reduces the likely hood of "freak" results.
Between this knowledge and knowing your modifiers and DCs before hand you should have enough information to take calculated risks.
I shall grant you this one courtesy though: If someone submits a viable write-in I shall try to reveal the DC for it as soon as possible so other anons may decide whether or not they wish to risk supporting it.
In other news I got some stuff I need to take care of today and the next update is gonna take some effort seeing that I'll need to dump some info and write a scene setting up the vassal states, so I won't have time for it until the evening.
I'll see you then... >:)
