If a player has specified some, but not all, of the random values necessary to perform an action, they shall not discard the valid specifications in order to attempt a substantially similar action with the goal of obtaining different random values. If there is consensus that a preponderance of the evidence exists, or if a Judge ruling, not overturned, exists, that a player has done such a thing, all attempts other than the first are deemed to be invalid and to not have affected the gamestate. | |||

The following actions are designated "Quacktions" and can be performed by posting intent to do so in #game-actions. Quacktions are performed through a duck in one's one possession. Each Quacktion has an associated cost. Upon performing a quacktion, the cost is deducted from the duck through which the attack was performed. Quacktions cannot be performed through ducks who do not have quacks equal to or greater than the cost of that attack. If a Quacktion requires targets, these must be specified in the same message as the action intent. | The following actions are designated "Quacktions" and can be performed by posting intent to do so in #game-actions.

The number rolled on the d12 to commence the scouting mission is the potential quacks. If the duck returns, the duck will have this number of potential quacks added to their existing quacks. For a player's duck to return, the player must wait until after the end of the voting period the duck was sent on the mission.

Then the player can then roll a retrieval d12 roll to attempt to retrieve the duck. If the retrieval roll is greater than or equal to the number of potential quacks determined upon the duck's departure, the duck returns. If the duck does not return, its potential quacks decreases by 1, to a minimum of 1. When the player attepts to retrieve the duck, the player may choose to cut their losses by posting their intent in #game-actions. The duck's potential quacks become 1, and the duck returns without requiring a retrieval roll. Only one attempt to retrieve any given duck can be made in any given voting period. Upon return, the potential quacks are added to the returning duck's total quacks and benefits and costs the duck provides to the player are unpaused. If the roll to retrieve the duck is 12 or higher, the owner of the duck will obtain a new duck along with their existing duck. | ||
Each time that a duck returns without its owner cutting their losses, its owner can once roll a d20 and obtain the corresponding item(s) on the following loot table: | |||

Smoothies are Fruits that can be crafted by a player performing the Make Smoothie Quacktion through one of their ducks. A Smoothie is made by combining 2 different non-Smoothie Fruits. The name of a smoothie is the result of concatenating the names of each of its constituent fruits in alphabetical order, with spaces in between, then appending " Smoothie". Using any name that clearly and unambiguously designates a smoothie is deemed to designate that smoothie, even if it differs from the true name. The smoothie's properties are dictated by the unification of the constituent fruits' properties. | |||

The Duck Disciple is not owned by any player, but still may be the target of Quacktions. Once per voting period, a player may perform a Quacktion against the Duck Disciple.

There may not be an entity as defined by the rules called the Duck Old One. If an entity called the Duck Old One ever does come into existence, it is immediately removed from the gamestate. | |||
Immediately after the first time a game action is taken by a player each week, the Duck Old One gains 1d4 God Eggs and performs an Eldritch Quack Attack. The Eldritch Quack Attack is a Quack Attack that can be performed by the Duck Old One by its own means and without the need for player ownership. | |||
* Eldritch Quack Attack. Cost: None. Targets: 1 random named Duck that is owned by a player. Effect: Target loses a number of quacks equal to the number of God Eggs owned by the Duck Old One. | |||
If the Duck Old One possesses 24 or more God Eggs at one time, all players lose the round. | |||
