(Thanks to Seon for the concept, the rules, and his blessing for me to run this installment of the game. You can play Roll to Dodge on CFC in one of these two threads.)
The rules are simple:
1. Post an action.
2. I will roll one of my trusty six sided dice and tell you the outcome of your action.

If, by some odd twist of fate, something is flying towards you, you get a free roll to dodge it. If you die, you lose the game. You win if everybody else is dead.

Here is how the die rolls work out:
1- Epic failure. You actually take the exact opposite action.
2- Failure.
3- Marginal success.
4- Success.
5- Perfect success.
6- Overshot.

You can virtually do anything, but be careful since you have a 50% chance of screwing it up. If you post multiple actions at once, only the first action will be taken. This will disregard all other actions and intent. Twisted Evil

Also, if you attempt to take an action without an intermediate action (example, you try to wear a shirt you are not carrying) the action auto-fails. You can't take the same action twice in a row, and only the first action you submit before I post the results of every bodies actions will be resolved.

ANYTHING GOES, so be creative!
Example:
You all are trapped inside a jail cell. What do you do
Player 1: I take out my laser cutter and cut through the bars
Me: Automatic 2: You rummage around in your pockets for the nonexistent laser cutter. You trip and fall on someone's foot.
Roll to dodge for Player two: 3
You manage to pull out most of your leg, but your toes got crushed.

Player Two: UGH! I kick Player 1 in the face.
Me: 6: You jump up and seem to levitate over the Player 1. You execute a perfect flip, your toes just brushing the roof, and snap one leg forward in time to connect with Player1's face. The force of your kick makes the room explode. People go flying out the cell. Roll to Dodge[5]. Everyone miraculously missed the glass of water.

Easy? Now go and play.
Starting situation: You all start in a dark, cramped box. You can't see anything, but you feel uncomfortably dizzy.

I'll join to support this effort. I have never played before, though!

I don't really understand how this is going to work, but it sounds like fun, so I'll join.
Also the threads over at CFC are hilarious.

How long is this planned to take or is it open end until everyone but one is still alive? And is it possible to join at any time?

It goes until only one player is left, and yes, you can join any time.
Now, remember players, you must post your actions if you want to play.

Using a Swiss Army Knife, Duct-tape and the other items around me, I construct an item which would save me in a life or death situation.

Joooray 11:49 14/09/10
But doesn't that give an unfair advantage to those that join later. Or are you going to balance that? (I hope I don't sound to whiny )
BTW: I was wondering why you use a 6-sided dice and not a 20-sided like they do at CFC?

My action:
I'm going to tickle Beskar until he let's go of his device and then steal it from him.

I pack myself a lunch consisting of refried cow leather, consolidated bacon grease with extra rock salt, extra-crunchy birch bark, a pound of buckshot, twelve cuban cigars, and a Forty ounce of malt liquor.

Ok, this won't take much time... I have nothing to do from 7 to 7:20 (am). Not enough time to do much of anything besides eat, really...

I develop über 1337 skillz at roll to dodge.

Well, it kind of does, which is why on CFC they give you extra HP for joining earlier. Since everyone has 100 HP, people who join in the first two rounds get 150 instead of 100.
And, about the die, the first four Roll to Dodges were with 6-sided dice. I started with that just so you can be introduced to the setup. If this goes well, the next will probably use a twenty-sided die.
Update commencing!

(3): You manage to construct a machine which allows you to re-do any previous roll. Unfortunately, it needs batteries as well.

(4): Beskar squeals and backs away, while you steal the device. With your mad tickling skills, you knock 2 HP out of him.

(5): The lunch is now in your inventory! Eating it will restore 20 HP, and you may eat it as a free action. (However, you may not exceed your maximum HP value, which is currently 150. So, if you eat it with less than 20 HP lost, you are restored just to 150.)

(2): You fail. Now, the next time you roll a six, the die will re-roll until you get a five or lower.

(5+1=6): The box becomes a pile of useless powder. You find yourself on a ship. The guard, noticing this, fires at you with his shotgun.
ROLL TO DODGE! (3): You barely avoid his shot.

(6): The other players acknowledge your dibs so severely, that they can't collect any more items for three turns.

(5): Joooray is so embarrassed that he gets -1 to his next roll.

Pull a pin on a grenade outside the box which causes Joooray to come over immediately, saying he called dibs on, and pockets it.

This is why I am playing this game. Because there is, ostensibly, going to be some attempt to whack the other players, thus resulting in some winner, but certain people are more interested in getting themselves injured.... for the yuks.

I am enjoying.

Right, an action:

I use my incredible mafia argument skills to direct Joooray and Chaotix into attacking each other instead of me. They find me very not suspicious now, and find each other incredibly scummy, and wish to kill each other.

Is that your way of telling me (and Chaotix for that matter), one shouldn't trust you in Hyrule-Mafia, eh?!

No, Joooray, I am aware you guys all read both threads.

My sense of humor isn't that sick, okay?
