	Active contests are for when both participants are actively participating, or when two people are trying to do the same thing to see who does better. An example would be playing a game. In an active contest, all participants roll against the appropriate skill, and whoever has the highest total wins. If degree of success is important, it is usually based on how far above the lowest roll the other contestants rolled. (Each 5 points above is another degree of success.)

	~~You're~~ a ~~real deep tihnekr~~. ~~Thanks for sharing~~.		==== Extended Actions ====
			Extended actions are an optional way of better modelling task resolution for tasks that would take a long time, giving room to make and then fix errors. In an extended action, the GM needs to decide four things:
			* The difficulty each roll will be made against. This is how hard it is to make progress overall.
			* The number of successes required to complete the action. This is how long the project is overall.
			* How long one roll represents.
			* The consequences of failing a roll.

			When rolling, each degree of success above the first may count as an extra success, allowing a more skilled person to complete the project faster. The GM should also decide if this is appropriate, but it usually is. Also, in general, a failed roll does not ruin the project, but simply wastes a roll. Failure by 5 (or 10) though might ruin the project or cause setbacks (cancelling out a previous success). Extended rolls use a lot of play time on something that can sometimes play better with a role-playing, or even with a single skill check. It is up to the GM to determine which is the best option.
