So it's just me, and then last licks.

Reminder for Last Licks: we all roll at the same time effectively, and
the lead does NOT officially change until the END of the round. So if
Tom is the leader at 500, then that is the point total everyone needs to
beat, not whatever the scores are during the last licks round.

Now, let's see if I can steal the lead from Tom so I get to take the
round off instead of him :-)

Roll 1: 4 [4] 4 5 6 Total: 45, clear 4's (yipes!)

Roll 2: 3

WIMPOUT!!!

Well, now we know who gets LL1 off. Good luck, Tom! It's
all-or-nothing now.

I need at least 30 to continue in the game.

Yipes!! One 1 die to clear the flash. Here goes nothing.

STOP!!

Looks like there will be a last licks round 2 this game.

Now come on, Paul, let's see a freight train of 6's to steal the game
from everyone :-)

What are the chances of getting 375 with _these_ dice, hmm?

2 2 4 [4] 5 ( 5/ 5)
2 2 10 [*] (30/35, clear 2s on 5 dice)
[4 rerolls]
4 5 5 10 [*] (60/95, clear 5s on 1 die)
10 (10/105, wow!)
3 3 5 5 [5] (15/120, clear 5s on 2 dice)
10 10 (20/140, this is bloody amazing)
2 2 [6] 10 10 (20/160, where I'd stop on any normal round...)
2 2 [4] (WO)

Well, that was an... interesting ride.

I guess you get to take turns now until one of you fails to beat the other.

wildcard's turn to get at least 10 points.

Yup, this becomes a dice-off now. Who's the first to wimp out.

Roll 1: 2 5 5 6 [10] Total: 20
Roll 2: 3 10 Total: 30
STOP!

I'm crazy, not insane. :-) And I promise that I will not stretch this

OK, that was a great game folks. I did not get the new dice from Santa, so
I'm warming the old ones up for another round. No more Super Novas! I will
watch this forum for the next game, awaiting with grave suspense the
opportunity to seek revenge for my humiliating defeat! Beware, for I am
training each die individually with Olympic effort to roll the proper
values during the next challenge!

I was warming mine up with a game of No-Stops (roll until you wimpout
and see what your score was at that point). I had just 5 points, rolled
4 tens (flash plus 10), rolled all five dice to clear it and got a
freight train of 5's!! Clearing that one got me a flash of 6's. I
think I had 850 points by the time I finally wimped out. I wish I had
kept a roll-by-roll list going.

Been a LONG time since I had any crazy rounds like that in a game that
gets posted here.

So when do we start? I'm ready now. I had my first-ever freight train
roll (started playing Wimpout in 1982) so I am eager to see what
craziness this game will bring.
