Roll A 1

What bad luck!

When someone loses horribly. Role-related causes are the person being an Unluckster, antagonist, or Jerk who needs to get his comeuppance. Many UnTrashes stem from somebody Rolling A 1, such as feeling the real pain of a Boned Moment after a failed attempt at a Party Trick. If a 1 is rolled in just the wrong situation, it could lead to the playing character being greatly injured or killed. If it hasn't been made clear already, Roll A 1 is the exact opposite of Roll A 6, when someone wins greatly. There are times when somebody Rolling A 6 is the direct cause of another person's 1. An example of this could be if a romantic Newcomer Rolls A 6 by finding a girl of his type and sets up a life ruining of that girl's boyfriend. The Roll A 1 part comes in when the old boyfriend finds this out after Walking On In or hearing about it straight from his partner.

The degree to which Rolling A 1 sets someone back differs depending on the situation. Most of the time, this may amount to little more than a simple nuisance that doesn't do much in the way of ruining a person's day, journey, or life. A Downplayed version of Roll A 1 might force someone to think of another plan. Worse moments can Kill The Plan entirely.
