OOC: Writing down your rolls

Jason, I want to make sure I understand the way you're writing out your
rolls in the WGP thread, because I'm wondering if I'm misunderstanding
them.

When you write "Perception and Intelligence checks - vs Alertness: 7,
5, 5, 8, 7, 3"...are you doing a check against _Jack's_ Alertness? Or
are you trying to say "I'm rolling Greg's Perception + Alertness and
I'm also rolling his Intelligence + Alertness"?

I can't figure out what you're saying above about what your rolls mean.
Typically, what I've seen is this for contested rolls:

PLAYER 1: I want to overhear what Player 2 is saying on his cell
phone. My PER + Alertness pool is 4 dice. I roll 10, 8, 4, 2. That's
2 successes against base difficulty.

PLAYER 2: I don't want Player 1 to hear, so I lower my voice and turn
away from him as I talk. My MAN + Subterfuge pool is 3 dice. I roll
7, 7, and 9 . Three successes cancels out your two! Sorry, dude, you
hear nothing!


....and this for uncontested:

PLAYER 1: I'm trying to pick the lock on Player 2's hotel room door.
DEX + Streetwise pool is 7 dice. I roll 10, 1, 4, 1, 2, 8, 8 - that's
only one success if it's base difficulty. Did I open it?

PLAYER 2: Well, I didn't do anything extra to the lock, so it's not
pretty, but you managed to get it open.

I get the idea you're throwing several rolls at once, but I uncertain
as to exactly what dice pools are being used. Can you elucidate?

Okay, so just to make sure we're on the same page:

When you write:

>> ((OOC: Perception and Intelligence checks - vs Alertness: 7, 5, 5, 8,
>> 7, 3 - vs Awareness: 4, 6, 6, 3, 1, 6, 7 - vs Investigation: 4, 7, 4,
>> 4 - vs Mage Lore 5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1..... email me anything you think I
>> would notice.))


....then I should read it as:

Perception + Alertness: 7, 5, 5, 8, 7, 3
Perception + Awareness: 4, 6, 6, 3, 1, 6, 7
Perception + Investigation: 4, 7, 4, 4
Perception + Mage Lore 5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1

Is that right? I'm mainly confused as to where the Intelligence rolls
fits into your list above.
