i didn't know this was a thing

What Verms said. Good luck.
My two cents: this challenge has been entertaining to watch. And weren't you the one who said different games can be played within the mechanics of kdice? And now you're saying that it oughtn't be that way?

This brings dishonor to the game. Like what happened with the Olympics badminton tournament.

^ in what way does that indicate that anyone who would participate in said challenge, would be eligible to become one of your ban candidates?

Chloe:

Don't know what you mean by "different games" unless you mean different styles of play (lion, hyena, dromedary, horse) or playing only 16 stack or 4 stack. These are different ways of winning. They do not dishonor the game.

Let me know when you're done drinking Drano and huffing goofballs and actually want to respond to the questions you've been asked by multiple people in this thread.

I was just referencing something you've said in the past in defense of the TAZD.

If you want a more in depth answer, here is this: kdice is an apparatus that can be used for play. It can be used for play in different ways. Just as a deck of cards can be used to play contract bridge, or slapjack. The skill for slapjack is of a different kind than the skill for bridge. But it is a skill, and can be measured. You don't compare the numbers used to measure slapjack and bridge because the skills are different. So you don't compare the numbers for "positive" kdice skills and "negative" because the skills are different.

Kdice is a tool. It can be used to play a game called "vflag". People can make up different "rules" for the game of "vflag", as you have done with your rule#1, rule#2, and rule#3.

"Skill" for vflagging will show up in the TAZD. It may also show up in the net dom, which may also be an indicator of wimpiness.

Another game that can be created from the kdice apparatus is called "rolloff". Not a lot of skill in this one, except maybe in not refusing to play so you don't get killed.

Two "games", different levels of skill, same kdice apparatus.

I would certainly qualify attaining a very specific score as skill. It's a fun game, isn't it? A race to a specific score.
I would qualify tanking as a skill. It certainly helps you in the TAZD, after all.

I would like to believe i invented the roll off.. seems like it catched you welcome ;)

I'm really not going to discuss this

I endorsed this fun challenge that isn't penalising any Kdice player so I'm going to allow it.

Ryan indeed knows about it and he hasn't said he didn't like it. So I will allow and support this challenge.

Skrumgaer, you made your point that you don't like this challenge, we all take note of it. But I hope you will not prove that you have no clue about what lives in the Kdice community by banning anyone that tries this challenge within the rules that were set for it.

Chloe:

Yes, I said it "oughtn't" be that way. The TAPL has no soul. It measures all skill, whether dishonorable or not. It doesn't make value judgments as how the game "ought" to be played. I, not the TAPL, made the value judgment and I stand by it.

jurg:

I won't ban anyone if no one offers a legitimate complaint about being harmed by the horsing around in these challenges.
