Ok, I thought about it and it's only fair that if we have some 7-roll rounds, we also have some 9-roll ones. So here's the sched:

  • Round 5: Eight rolls.
  • Round 6-8: Seven rolls.
  • Round 9-11: Eight rolls.
  • Round 12-13: Nine rolls.

Don't ask me what the logic or reason is, as there is none. Just trying to mix it up and confuse people.

Anyhow, today: eight rolls. Next round (probably Monday): only seven. Now, roll, dammit!

Rules and side comments here.

c'mon deuce.

Drops a deuce?

*adds fiber to diet*

Nostradamus said...

How unsatisfying.

2-2-3-4-5, gives us a good shot at a short and long straight, though.

Josh S. said...

(tries...again)

My first roll was a 1, no?

Steve K said...

keep them doggies rollin'

MR.F said...

Roll?

Steve K said...

If I'm not mistaken, I've got
2 2 3 1 5 4 1 4

That gives us a nice large straight!

Josh S. said...

Craaaaap.

2-2-1-5-4-1-4-6

Steve K said...

I think you're missing Mr C at 8:34

Steve Dittmore said...

@Josh - I've got Mr. C's 834 comment as a 3... 377.

So that gives us:
2(me)
2(Mr. C)
3(Mr. C)
1(Josh)
5(Mr. C)
4(Mr. C)
1(Josh)
1(Mr. F)

Still looks like a large straight.

Josh S. said...

I guess we can't have a round without me screwing something up. At least it worked out for the best!

Steve K said...

@ Steve D: I'm feeling a little neglected... (not that it actually matters since I rolled a 4)

Josh S. said...

Wait. Only 3 of Mr. C's rolls count, so it's:

2 (Dittmore)
2 (Mr. C)
3 (Mr. C)
1 (Me)
5 (Mr. C)
1 (Me)
4 (J. Steve)
6 (Mr. F)

Steve Dittmore said...

Sorry J Steve... hard to keep track of who does what. Need multiple tabs open.

Still, looks like a good large straight.

Nostradamus said...

Definitely large straight. For the sake of voting, I propose we take the 1st instance of each number 1-6.

MR.F said...

It was a complete team effort! Go team!

Shawn Green said...

So we have a straight, right?

Eric Karros said...

4 3 1 3 2 6

Two more chances to roll a 5...

Eric Karros said...

4 3 1 3 2 6 6

Ughh...one more chance. At least I have a small straight licked up.

Jason said...

* steals the Son's 5*

Nostradamus said...

@MLASF

You are correct, sir.

Jason said...

5 stolen and apostrophe placed for Dusty's benefit/annoyance.

Nostradamus said...

Wait a moment.

For voting strategy, I say we take the first die of each number one through five, not through six as I said earlier. Only the first one and the first two should be used if that's how we decide to vote.

Eric Karros said...

^I meant locked up, not licked up.

Oh baby, baby, baby! Got the 5! I see the Readers' Large Straight and raise you one more number in the sequence for an Extra-Large Straight: 1 2 3 4 5 6!! Which of course triggers the unwritten but widely accepted rule that Extra Large Straights are worth 60 points.

FYI I acknowledge that I'm way more excited than the situation warrants.

Nostradamus said...

I suppose the apostrophe placement could be considered correct, since it's only EK wrangling the dice.

MR.F said...

Ahhhhhh. What happened?

Eric Karros said...

crap, gotta get a poll up before the Readers solidify a strategy...

Eric Karros said...

Actually I guess the Readers got an Extra Large Straight too. I'm not that special after all

Josh S. said...

Sweet, so we both get 60 points, right EK?

Jason said...

If I remember my unwritten rules correctly, only the first Extra Large Straight is worth 60 points so EK is out of luck.

Eric Karros said...

Yeah, alas I believe you are correct Jason. The second one is worth 70 points.

Booyah!

MR.F said...

We can just make up rules as we go along? Nice. I'm learning so much about this game!
