[Sorcerer] A weaker opponent gives me fewer rollover dice?
macmoyer:
Thanks, Christopher and Ron! And Raven, too, for taking a shot.
macmoyer:
Oh, and the exact, rabbit-influenced words were, "highly reminiscent of Risk."
Ron Edwards:
As Ralph just cuttingly reminded me by private message, there is one important thing that Raven was referring to, and I'll get to that when we discuss more complex resolution. Later.
Best, Ron

If Fred and Barney are taking swings at one another, then their two rolls are not compared. At all. The two 8's do not tie, because they are not compared. Macmoyer, please ignore Raven's post in full. It is not correct.
Hrm. Ok, please PM me or give me a call tomorrow sometime, Ron, because I am sitting here scratching my head and completely not grasping what/how I've screwed up the above example. And apologies, Mac, if I've caused any confusion. I'll stay out until Ron and I have had a chance to talk.
Ron Edwards:
Actually, I'd like to talk with Macmoyer for a while. I think the result will shake out into what you're looking for.
Macmoyer (I need a real first name, actually), we're good with the basic dice comparison process, right? Double-check (first is A, second is B):
9, 9, 8, 8, 7, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1 vs. 10, 8, 9, 4, 4
B wins with one victory
9, 9, 9, 7, 7, 6, 5, 5, 4, 2, 2 vs. 9, 8, 7, 6, 3
A wins with two victories
10, 9, 9, 9, 8, 7, 5, 2, 1, 1 vs. 10, 9, 9, 9, 7, 5, 4, 3, 3
A wins with one victory
And just to nail down the original question for good:
6, 6, 5, 4, 3, 3, 3, 1 vs. 2, 1
A wins with seven victories
How's this look? Making sense? Questions, comments?
Best, Ron
