Re: (TFT) Question to list --> contests.

[Ed Thorn <prophesor@yahoo.com>]

It's worth noting that this is mathematically
identical to "Who made the roll by the most?", which
is obviously in accord with metarules and existing
thematics.

Restated, if Dozenius (DX 12) and Decius (DX 10)
engage in an archery contest (this contest chosen to
bridge the approach from existing rules), then the one
who 'hits best' or 'misses least' will win.  They're
each generating a number, DX-Roll, highest result
number wins.  Turning it around, and adding the Roll,
is the same effect, except that now you want to roll
high, whereas usually in TFT you want to roll low. 
But the odds are the same either way.

For me, I would stick with each rolling normally,
DX-Roll, and highest total wins.  It's a congruent
approach to existing rules.  If I wanted to complicate
it, I might accrue successes, perhaps for a foot race,
and the winner is the first to accrue 60 (or so)
points of success.
