Round 9/Ruleset: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

A "game action" is any action a player may take that would alter the gamestate. A default-method game action is a game action that the rules describe as performable by some persons but do not explicitly provide a method for, or an action which the rules describe as performable in #game-actions.

Default-method game actions may be performed by announcing intent to do so in #game-actions, provided that any conditions placed on its performance are fulfilled~~, and that the message providing for the intent ends in a duck word (possibly followed by punctuation)~~. Such actions take place in the order specified in the message (or in the order they appear, if no order is specified). For the purposes of this paragraph, editing a message does not constitute an announcement.

Line 84:

During a voting period, a player can send a duck on a scouting mission by rolling a d12 for the duck. When the duck is on the scouting mission, benefits the duck provides the player are paused. Any upkeep cost of owning the duck is also paused until the duck returns.

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. When the player attepts to retrieve the duck, and if the duck's potential quacks exceeds 9, 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. A player can only attempt to retrieve each scouting duck once per 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 ~~quacks gained from~~ the duck~~'s potential quacks~~ is 12 or higher, the owner of the duck will obtain a new duck along with their existing duck.

If a duck returns without it's owner cutting their losses, the owner rolls a d20 and obtains the corresponding item(s) on the following loot table:
