Alright, rolls closed! Thanks @Dark as Silver and @geogio13. Sorry, Kingster.
Hmm... yeah, this kind of user participation thing doesn't really work as well here compared to Fiction.live. In the future I might consider some kind of moratorium or making it so only omake writers can roll instead of forcing everyone to do this weird "first roller in" thing.
Alright, looks like our final bonuses for this chapter are:
Thanks a lot, everyone! I'll be back tomorrow for the four manga series dice hell.

You'd have to ask them to be rolled ahead of time or make sure this is scheduled at a good time for everyone because otherwise timezones might ruin that for some people.

Akun is definitely better suited to live rolling. Honestly, in forum environments I think it's just better to use your own dice roller, as it isn't like you're going to get the extra engagement that you might with live rolling; better to simply roll quickly and get updates out faster. Looking forward to the next update regardless.

Yeah, fair point.
Current plan is that from now on omake writers get a Refinement roll along with their usual Favor reward. I'll @ them when we're doing the Refinement posts and give them 24 hours to submit a roll. If they don't submit within that time, I'll do the roll instead along with all the extra suggestion rolls.
We'll try this out for the next set of Refinement rolls. If there are no new omakes then I guess I'll just roll everything myself instead to be fair.
Edit: Which reminds me... I'll have to update that Omake Prompt List at some point. If anyone's got any suggestions for omakes they might be interested in, let me know and I might add it to the list.

Out of 5 rolls, we have 2 max result, 2 middling result, and 1 bad result that gave small negative to one stat for one of this week manga.

Ah. I thought the treadmark only showed us reaching the max revealed bonus. I must have read it wrong.
You can see the roll threshold in the sidestory roll update, and the roll at the end.
It usually rolled by players, but recent error and near in-thread fight make the QM consider rolling in different way.

Her rolls are fine
Pretty good actually
Supporting Characters: 47 + 5 =52, fine (+0)
Story: 45 + 5 - 5 = 45, not ideal but workable(-1)
Setting: 35 + 5 + 5 + 20 + 5 = 70, her trait is saving the day here but in the end a very good result is still very good (+2)
Dialogue: 61 + 5 = 66, surprisingly good (+1)
Layout/background: 28 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 43, workable (-1)
Characters: 49 + 5 + 5 - 5(reroll) = 54, fine (0)
Dynamic Art: 53 + 5 + 5 + 10 = 73, very good and satisfies chief editor demands (+2)
Special Effects: 44 + 5 + 5 + 15 = 69, good and more than satisfies chief editor demands (+1)
Total popularity bonus (unedited) = +4
With 5 points of editing = +6 (1 point in special effects, 4 points in dialogue)
With 10 points of editing = +7 (another 5 points in story)
All in all, not bad at all
Not quite as good as the first chapter, but pretty good
Now Vampire on the other hand is in some real trouble
edit: miscalculated a few things, still pretty good though
