No no, Day 4 is:

The Test of Humility:

All heirs roll their highest skill, lowest result wins. Yes they can keep low and not spend void, but only those who have known the depths of Sakkaku's wrath can bear the pressure of the crown.
No, to do it properly they need to spend void AND keep their highest.

Fair. Then we should let them pick a skill they have at least one rank in. Do you pick the skill you only have 1 rank in and shouldn't explode 15 times, or do you pick the thing you've got 5 ranks in, and shouldn't produce a batch of 1s for you?

Are we going with Sakkaku as the Fortune of Torture, then?

Nah, Sakkaku is and always will be mischief.

Torture was for the good old Invisible Castle.

Yeah, Invisible Castle was the absolutely worst, really-really. I don't know, maybe I was younger and didn't know how to risk assess but IC had some really ludicrous results. I think it was truly suspecting of not being random enough when you see that not the low results but the same numbered results kept popping up (admittedly, were low still and resulting in a fail).

With IC, you just had to master the art of fail-posting or you were just never going to have a good time.

Someone told me that IC's results would depress the more people were using it "at once," so it was better to roll at non-peak hours. It sounded a little like magical thinking, but I admit that once you hear it, it infects your psyche a bit.

I swear, the more silly my roll-descriptor was in IC, the better it rolled for me!

The trick with Orokos was pantslessness.

With Sakkaku, perhaps silliness will work.

Perhaps.

Haha, holy crap. I hope it was a good 3k1, and not 3k1 damage to you from a paper cut or something.
