Die Game

The die game is a team game that uses a random number generator (physical die or digital random number generator) to force teammates to do things for the amusement of the rest of the team.

General Flow
Once someone has legitimately acquired the die (physically or digitally), they must state or type "When I roll a ,  has to ." Then they must either physically throw the die or initiate a roll on the digital random number generator.

If the result of the die roll matches the stated number, the target must do the stated action. If the result of the die roll is a 1, the roller must perform the action (see the Ones section below). If the result of the die roll is anything else, no action must be performed.

Acquiring the Die
The most common way to acquire the die is for someone who has legitimate control of it to roll with you as the target. Regardless of the success of that roll, the control of the die automatically passes to the target.

Alternatively, if nobody has rolled in a while or there is confusion regarding who currently "has" the die, anyone can claim it after the following requirements have been met:
 * Digital die: 8 hours if the most recent target does not acknowledge being rolled
 * If the most recent target does acknowledge the roll, the window is shortened to 2 hours after that acknowledgement. This allows others to expedite the process by notifying the possibly-unwitting possessor.
 * For the purposes of this rule, any post by the most recent target in the same channel/room where the most recent roll occurred is considered acknowledgement and triggers the shortened window.
 * Physical die: 30 minutes
 * This can include the use of a digital number generator used in lieu of an actual physical die at a gathering or event.

Limitations
A proposed roll is not valid if it would force the targeted person to do the following to fulfill the action:
 * Perform an illegal act
 * Spend money

Ones
Regardless of the method of roll, if the result is a 1, the roller must perform the proposed action instead of the target. Possession of the die passes to the target as usual.

A roller cannot use 1 as their stated target because it is reserved for this purpose.

Penalties
If a target is not comfortable performing the proposed action, they can refuse, but they will be subject to the shaming and ridicule of everyone present.
