Oh, sorry, is that not cool?
It has already been rolled

GM's tend not to be terribly appreciative of people trying to game the quest unnecessarily. I'm not surprised by Poptart's reaction.

It wasn't so much gaming, as 'I thought we needed one more roll and you had a spare'. I still can't see the Quarian food roll.

That's because two people rolled for Quarian Tech the second roll will probably be used for the food.

The QM has requested that we call what our rolls are for instead of doing them untitled, which I can understand given the tendency to want to shift rolls around so you pass every option...

Well maybe Poptart will throw us a bone?
Its a waste to lose the nat 100

Sure, but on the other hand, if rolls never get assigned (just automatically happen in order) then there's no ability to shuffle them around & there's less room for confusion - even if too many rolls get made we can just take the first 10 and use them. @PoptartProdigy any reason not to just use that system instead of the current one, given the demonstrated complications of the latter?

I must admit, I had not expected the site's ignore function to be inconvenient in this precise manner. Among other things.
In the future, I think I shall do them that way.

It's possible he might use it for hero unit intervention on our Nat. 2 Trade Sanctions, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't count...
Of course, he didn't ask for a Personal Action roll either, so we're possibly going to drop the 93 as well, unless that's been allocated towards something else.

My count might be off, but did dietary supplements not get a roll?
I'm gonna double check all the rolls real quick

It looks like you're right on that front, and the same thing happened for Stewardship. Two people called Equipment instead of one for overclocking.
We also have a 93 rolled for a personal we didn't need before either of the colony equipment rolls (and intrigue 2 but that was called properly), and the nat 100 after all the rolls happened.
Curious how poptart will handle the miss called rolls, although I'm gonna assume it's far from the optimal way for us (granted optimal would let us have the nat 100, but that's just wishful thinking)
edit: Yeah triple checked. No one called overclocking, just two for colony. We really need a better system. I'd honestly prefer to have these rolled behind the GM curtain than the mess this keeps turning into.

I think our making demands roll is our first success with the Lystheni since we had them observe a Rachni relay charge. Botching trade sanctions hopefully just means money/popularity lost instead of lives given the other diplo success.

Christ in heaven that's a mess.
EDIT: Fuck it, I'm just switching to a, "call for ten, take the first ten," system right now.

The trade sanctions fail is either going to hurt our economy or popularity. Or since poptart deals out punishment in equal measure to rewards, hurts popularity because of the significant hit to the economy it causes through chain reactions (which gets our inevitable collapse ever closer). And probably the Lystheni catch wind of our population clamoring to open trade back up.
That being said, I hope poptart accounts for the significant stimulus the war bonds being payed back will give our economy. It's over 100,000 credits, which is still a significant portion of our income (roughly a third of it). With it all being payed back this year it should be able to counteract some of the bad that happens. For a somewhat reasonable comparison, the US government had a revenue of a bit over 3 trillion dollars in 2015*. While it's not quite as impressive when scaled up to a whole planet, it's still a massive amount of liquid assets suddenly going back into the market.
*That's a huge number and its grown since then

Sadly, even with the call ten, take ten system, trade sanctions is still getting that 2
At least it's not our named NPC or their families that's biting the dust.
