@Retias I use namecheap for all of my domains, but I have no associated apps, nor have I ever been required to have one. Maybe it's just marketing since the domain is parked?

Sorry, I was busy this weekend and had no idea it was down and I presume it was the same for @EmmahSue and @Thenomain. I've upgrade the server that MSB sits on, as it looks like it was a resource problem.

Once again, sorry for the downtime. I was totally unaware.

We had some unexpected downtime for a few hours this morning before I noticed it. Everything's back up now and I'll keep an eye on it today, but we should be good to go.

Is two days really necromancy? Isn't that more like necromancer in training? Or just this side of Addam's family?

Go spoil in the media section with a nice spoilery title if you're bursting to contribute. @Arkandel

Just to give out some information, how low you go as far as negative reputation is concerned doesn't stop you from posting. You have to have a minimum of zero reputation to flag a post or downvote a post, but that's just the default number.

For post frequency, once again defaults:

• No one can post more than once every 10 seconds.
• New users cannot post more than once every 120 seconds.
• New users must have a reputation of 3+ to lower that to 10 seconds.

There are some other settings, but those are the relevant ones.

@VulgarKitten That is the point of downvotes, afterall.

@Arkandel It's the same view the admins have had, so I didn't add anything special, just made it available to all posters.

You should now be able to see downvotes on posts by clicking on the vote number between the up and down arrows. It's probably impossible to accurately click it on mobile, but it's at least viewable now.

@nyctophiliac We have a group for art and creative endeavors here that you can join. For requests of help on a variety of mu related topics, you can post here and finally, we have a how-to section for actual tutorials.

This should be working now, let me know.

Just some clarification, you get a single hero point if the GM decides to purchase the remaining dice (no matter how many there are) and the GM gets danger points equal to the remaining dice.

@faraday Why would there even be a mechanic for it, then? Otherwise, it'd just be floor(roll / 10). I think you need to iterate to get all combinations and that you're right it wasn't designed with computation in mind.

GMs can buy leftover dice, granting you a hero point and the GM as many danger points as you have remaining dice.

@faraday I did add extra dice, I'm sorry. In your example, though, I'm still not sure you're allowed to throw on extra dice after you've hit 10. Otherwise, what's to stop 6+5+3+1+1 and calling it a day? I feel like it's the same a saying 6+3+1 (10) +1.

In your comments:

# Example:  Given junk dice of [6, 5, 3, 1, 1] it will return a sum of 11 (for the 6+1+1+3) and 'junk' will be the
#   unmatched [5] afterward.

Unless I misunderstood, I don't think this counts, since it's basically a cheat. 6+1+3 would get you 4, + 6 = 10. So you should have [1,5] for your junk dice, instead of just adding small to large.

[6, 5, 5, 3, 1, 1, 1] shouldn't net 6+1+1+1+3 and a 5+5 with [ ] junk. It should get 6+3+1, 5+5 and junk of [1, 1].

So there are a few extra things that can happen with 7th Sea dice, but the real sticking point is this: given n results, get as many discrete combinations of c as possible, where sum(c) >= k with the lowest remaining n.

Examples (k = 10):

Player rolls 7 dice. Results are [7, 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1].

[7, 3] = 10
[5, 3, 2] = 10
[4, 1] = 5

[4, 3, 3] = 10
[7, 2, 1] = 10
[5] = 5

Here, the second wins, because we have the fewest remaining results possible.

Player rolls 7 dice. Results are [9, 7, 5, 5, 2, 1, 1].

[9, 1] = 10
[7, 5] = 12
[5, 2, 1] = 8

[9, 1] = 10
[7, 2, 1] = 10
[5, 5] = 10

Here, the second is better because of more 10s.

Doing this as a human is pretty easy, but it's not so easy computationally. So, as @faraday asked for the challenge, here it is:

• Solve this in any language you want
• Avoid libraries that provide permutation/combination functionality
• Convert it to MU code

I tried turning some of the plugins on and off to see if it was that, but that doesn't seem to be the case. For now, you'll have to use the url bar to navigate if you're on mobile.

I have the same issues on mobile. Someone should do something about it.
