Roll for swiss.
Sample Rolls
You can roll multiple times in one post. When Geth rolls, the result is fixed, and editing the post will not trigger the removal/addition/rerolling of any results. If no rolls have been made, and you edit in a roll, then results will be added to the post.
Geth roll 1d20+6;2d6+2
Geth roll "1d10 1d10 1d8 1d6" for Marvel HRP
Geth roll 4xM for Day 1 Source
Minion roll 1d20 for alternate name
Let me contribute by posting in a typical player turn from a game, to see what happens:
Move to H12
Minor: Blackfire 'Port vs Legionary 1 Fort
Geth roll 1d20+10 1d10
Teleport to J13
Standard: Machine Grip vs Legionary 1 Reflex
Geth roll 1d20+9 1d10+15
You'd probably want to combine those or separate into semicolons?
Geth roll 1d20+10;1d10;1d20+0;1d10+15
edit: It looks like it only takes the first roll in the post.
Geth roll 1d1+2 1d9-3
Geth roll "1d20+10" "1d10" "1d20+10" "1d10+15"
Geth roll "1d20+10 1d10 1d20+10 1d10+15"
edit: also a suggestion: can the person that initiated the call for the roll be included in the post that geth makes?

Testing to see if Geth will roll off quoted posts.
I went back and edited my post from 1:19 and it fired. It didn't do it the first time because I guess I was in the cooldown between rolls?
Testing die + die rolls, of different sides.
Two minor suggestions:
1. Have Geth report whose roll it's doing in post and/or name rolls and have those names report.
2. Nontraditional dice rolling. i.e. Small World uses a reinforcement die that is 6 sided, with 3 blanks, a 1, a 2, and a 3.
Like how editing of posts should be handled, any feedback there? Obviously it shouldn't reroll a simple edit but what about if you replace the contents entirely?
My thought is that to keep things feasible, it would have to just ignore edits. Kinda like @Infidel type notices, if you edit them it won't change anything. Nothing done previously is invalidated, and nothing edited in is acted upon.
The dice requested would be there even if someone edited out their post so I don't think dishonesty could be easily abused. In theory though it could be, for example I could make a post saying "attack with Big Uber Daily power" and if the 1d20 attack roll and damage roll are the same I could edit in "attack with At-Will power" and woops, guess I missed! (But didn't use up my daily cause I saw the result and edited quickly.)
This is why there is a roll description available on Orokos, so that a host can use it if they wish to track the intentions of the rolls in addition to the rolls themselves. It's also how the IRC bot works, it lets you tag a description and then puts that description and the roller's name into the result so it is clear what was rolled for what. A description could potentially be added?
I think in your suggestion it is fine to have an edit (and in theory, abuse) but you don't want the edit to reroll right? Cause that would be problematic since the original dice would be lost and such...
Including a description or what user that the die is being rolled for would be nice.
I think the rolls sticking around regardless is important, part of the whole reason for a system like this is we want a certain threshold of trust.
If you put the rolls in the post, which is great, you need to make sure they're not spoof-able with user accessible text formatting.
This should be very easy, but yes I agree.
