In Response To: Proposed Cocked Dice Rule (Colin Owen)

I like the concept, but you've over complicated it.

What *should* happen is this:

• Abel rolls what he thinks are cocked dice. He verbally says, "Cocked dice" or something to that effect, and hits the clock, but does not pick up the dice.
• Baker, if he agrees, says so verbally: "Yes, I agree, cocked," and then hits the clock. If Baker does not agree, he stops the clock, which is going to need to happen anyway, since a director will have to be summoned to adjudicate.
• Abel can now pick up the dice and reroll.

It's not complicated. It's also theoretically abusable, but nearly everybody I play with is a good person and wouldn't try to abuse it.
