Contrary to a common misconception, rolling over 9000 will not earn the trophy because that is just too high. You will fail if you roll over the necessary target. The trophy ''cannot'' be "griefed" by raising the target more than 1.

Moving Target
Moving Target

This trophy is earned by multi-using d12s and rolling higher by exactly one than the last person who qualified for the trophy. Thus, if the previous person rolled 117, you will need to roll exactly a 118. A successful roll yields the BULLSEYE message.

Any other value fails. You will fail if you roll over the current target. The trophy cannot be "griefed" by raising the target more than 1.

Moving Target You're entitled to the "Moving Target" trophy, for excellence in simulated archery.

Notes

  • Since the target is constantly advancing, many who gain this trophy post their target here to help the next person attempting to hit the moving target. Aim for the distance in the most recent post plus 1.
  • To minimize the number of rerolls, choose the number of d12s equal to the current target divided by 6.5. If you're willing to reroll more frequently and want to save meat, then divide by a higher number (e. g. 8). The less you invest, the more times (exponentially!) you can expect to reroll.
  • As the target moves further away, it becomes harder to hit; expect to have to reroll many times even with the optimal number of dice before you hit the target. Short of many (i. e. hundreds of) people getting the trophy in a row without reporting their target distances, there is no way to "grief" this trophy.
