Oh. Oops. I was mixing it up with the Drunk in my mind. Sorry about
that.

Yes... but it'd be odd to do the dice rolls before declaring that you
were taking the action (which you'd need to do in order to put the
board in the same message as the action). So if we needed to roll the
dice first, I could see what the dice said, and then decide not to
post my move after all. I suppose there's nothing wrong with having
the move-message and the current-board-message be different messages,
but I wasn't sure of game precedent in terms of who generally rolls
the dice, so I figured I'd wait and see if someone told me to roll
them myself.
