At what speed does it become too hard to dodge a thrown lamington?

One thing I forgot to mention is catastrophic failures or botches. It honestly hadn't come up till just now.

Ordinarily when you roll a 1, it cancels out a success. If you don't roll any successes at all, and you also roll a 1, it is a botch. Just like how multiple successes means things have worked out incredibly well for you, getting a botch means poo poo hosed up badly.

Note that if you roll even one success, even if it gets canceled out by several 1's, you won't botch.

Example: You are trying to tell a really funny story to impress everyone at a party. You use Charisma+Expression (2+2) (or Performance if it's a story you've told many times before or an act I guess), difficulty 6. You roll 1,2,2,3. You have botched. Maybe the punchline was "What are you, blind?" and there's a blind person at the party, and everyone thinks you're a giant heel. Maybe you accidentally say something really racist.

If you'd rolled 1,2,3,9, then the 1 cancels out the 9, and you simply fail. No one is really impressed with your story. If you'd rolled 1,1,1,9, you'd still only have failed, even though you have all those 1's. If you'd rolled, 1,9,9,9, the one would cancel out one of the 9's, and you'd still have 2 successes, and your story would be a hit.

Catastrophic lamington failure: while quickly trying to eat them all before we can take or throw any, Mills chokes on them and dies.

So as I said, I was going to assign your tribes, roles, backgrounds, gifts, etc. from how you guys roleplay. At this point I've settled it all in my notes for you guys but I absolutely love that you guys continue to play towards the roles/tribes that I've secretly assigned you.

Hey bell jar, I had a quick look earlier, and couldn't find anything.

Jarrod is a fresh-faced 19 year old, tall, lanky, who has just joined the Young Liberals at QUT. He doesn't know much about politics but his dad always told him, "Son, you have to be on the winning side!".

The Liberals have just kicked Paul Keating out of office and it looks like they're here to stay for a long time. Hell, if Jarrod works hard enough, he could be parachuted into a Liberal safe seat in 10-15 years time.

Jarrod collects tazos and has a keen interest in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. He has red hair.

Your personal spirit animals are chosen by the book, but then all together, you guys later on will get to pick a single spirit guide for your group. And it's not limited to animals.

I think it's pretty clear that your collective spirit guide will be the concept of alcoholism.
