[QUOTE="Seramus, post: 7795618, member: 6812658"] I care about how many flips were made because it informs my description of how the world reacts to this action - maybe because monsters are about to burst into the scene and I want to know how far Mr Flip is, or the previously mentioned guy who is watching from the sides is willing to hire them if Mr Flip can do eight flips, but not if he messes up before four flips (what an amateur!), etc. Or more meta, if I have to talk with Mr Flip because he never even tries to attempt 10 flips anymore because whenever he does he usually gets no flips because this is a binary. He sticks with 6 flips these days. Basically, sometimes a flip is just a flip - and sometimes it has an impact on several other things in the scene. My focus in this discussion is in the degrees of success vs binary resolution, such as a player stating an achievable goal and then rolling MUCH better than expected and getting nothing for it (if something is possible to get) such as the silver medal / gold medal Mr Flip scenario or the average song / great song Bard scenario.
