I believe Snap 035: “Ahhh…..Qua!” meets the upgrade benchmark: “A Snap where the Merriam Webster Word of the Day for the day on which the Shot was taken appears on a sign or other permanent outdoor structure in shot (where the word would also have been present on that object on the previous day)”

If the proposal “Personal Criteria” was not enacted, this rule has no effect.

Replace the text of the rule “Personal Criteria” with the following:

Each Seeker has a Personal Criteria, which defaults to empty. A Seeker may initiate the process of setting their Personal Criteria by making an uncategorized blog post where the title of the post contains the text “Personal Criteria Request” and the body of the post may contain any text of the author’s choosing. This type of blog post is known as a Personal Criteria Request, and the author of such a post is the Requestor.

All Seekers other than the Requestor may respond to a Personal Criteria Request with one of the following types of responses, and only one of each such response type per Personal Criteria Request:
* A non-fictional object that has not yet been mentioned in the responses to this Personal Criteria Request
* A with the name of an object already mentioned by another Seeker in this Personal Criteria Request

The Requestor may respond to this Personal Criteria Request with a and the name of an object already mentioned by another Seeker in this Personal Criteria Request. They may do this once for each such unique object.

48 hours after a Personal Criteria Request is posted, among the objects that were not mentioned in a response by the Requestor with a , if there is an object mentioned in more responses containing   than any other object in that Personal Criteria Request, the Requestor’s Personal Criteria is set to that object. Otherwise, that Personal Criteria Request has failed and any further responses to it are invalid.

In the rule “Scoring”, replace the text “If a Seeker who has a Personal Criteria does not include it in their Snap, the Snap is worth 0 points. If they do include their Personal Criteria, then they get three extra points on top of the points they would get normally.” with the following text:

When a Seeker who has a non-empty Personal Criteria posts a Shot, the following rules apply to that Seeker for that Shot:
* If that Shot contains the object mentioned in their Personal Criteria at the time of that post, they gain 3 Score in addition to the other Score gains they may receive for that Shot.
* If the preceeding step does not apply, they may not gain any Score from that Shot.

Critiria with S/U up front:

Criteria 4 was used for conceptual balance award.

I am claiming the Conceptual Balance award.

I have at least one Private Criteria with a Satisfying score of 4 and an Unsatisfying score of 4, where those scores were obtained from the 8 most recent contiguous Authentic Shots

JonathanDark is one of your criteria:

Snap is taken at night or in the dark?

I refresh two of my Criteria: “Neither the sky nor the sea is visible. wh6” (f91993138faf411c9b4f43dda11ad3397f49934ff06bce289428354e18505d15) and “Contains a painted surface (but not blue). dha” (31956a028bf155e9b250e64e56c2eae82f22209964cbd4dc9959eeb53e1a497d)

To the first paragraph of the “No Cooperation” Building Block and rule, add:-

The Mentor clause that a Mentor and mentee “may work together to achieve victory” does not apply in this dynasty.

I reset the Criteria of mine which was previously “Contains a liftable manmade object. bkf” (52eafba00bbb9fd0e4338df8d221bd1b927c17349c077865b6bef8041d9e2c17)

In the rule “Scoring”, in the bulleted list after the text “Upon doing so:”, add the following bullet point at the end of that list:

* If this Shot was one of the first 3 Authentic Shots they posted in this dynasty in which they responded to the Shot as described in this rule, and this Shot was posted on or after April 18 2024, they gain Score as follows: 20 Score for the first Shot, 10 Score for the second Shot, and 5 Score for the third Shot.

Add a subrule to Criteria named ‘Personal Criteria’ as such:

Personal Criteria

A Seeker may choose to have a Personal Criteria by making a blog post stating that they wish to do so. All other active Seekers then vote upon Personal Criteria by either stating an object, or by voting :for: with the name of the object or the player who proposed the object’s username. The object with the most :for: votes wins. The Seeker whose Personal Criteria is being voted upon may object to the other Seekers’ choice of Personal Criteria if the Seeker can reasonably prove that there is no such object in their vicinity, that the object is too large or too small, or that the object does not exist. This object becomes the Seeker’s Personal Criteria, which is publicly tracked.

In the rule Scoring, add

If a Seeker who has a Personal Criteria does not include it in their Snap, the Snap is worth 0 points. If they do include their Personal Criteria, then they get three extra points on top of the points they would get normally.

Chiiika is idled out after seven days without making a post or comment.

Quorum remains 4.

I would like to propose a new type of criteria, known as a ‘Personal Criteria’, which requires a Seeker to have an object which all other active Seekers voted upon in their image. The incentive for this would be that any Seeker who chooses to have a Personal Criteria gets a poinnt boost.

After ‘opinions or feelings of any Seeker.’ add

The object with the most votes wins. Said object must be reasonably defined. This object becomes the Seeker’s Personal Criteria, which is publicly tracked. The Seeker must now include their Personal Criteria in every Snap they take, or they are ineligible for points on that Snap. If they do include their Personal Criteria, then they get three extra points.

In the rule “Criteria”, replace the text “, by first posting the hash and the secret text in a blog entry and then changing the hash and resetting its satisfying and unsatisfying counts to zero in the game state tracking page.” with the following:

as an atomic action named Criteria Refresh with the following steps:
* Post the hash and the secret text of each Private Criteria being changed in a blog entry.
* For each Private Criteria being changed, update the hash and reset its satisfying and unsatisfying counts to zero.

In the rule “Guesses”, add the following text:

A Guess may not target a Seeker while that Seeker is performing the Criteria Refresh atomic action.

To the Standard of the “Grand Prix in Advertising Photography” Award, add:-

, where that Guess is not already apparently confirmable by public information alone

I believe this photograph meets “A Snap where the Merriam Webster Word of the Day for the day on which the Shot was taken appears on a sign or other permanent outdoor structure in shot (where the word would also have been present on that object on the previous day)”

I would like to change the rule for shots to also allow the word to be the Wordle for the same day one year ago.

Change ‘name of an active Seeker and the Merriam Webster Word of the Day for the day on which the Shot was taken, or the preceding day (per http://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day).’ to

‘name of an active Seeker and either the Merriam Webster Word of the Day for the day on which the Shot was taken, or the preceding day (per http://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day); or the Wordle answer for the day the shot was taken one year ago, not including February 29’.

Consider the Seeker called Josh to have responded to Snap 26 in order, and uphold their responses to Snaps 27 through 29.

My old ones were:

In “Scoring”, after “whether they find the Shot aesthetically pleasing or not, about which they must be honest” add:-

, and include a few words of reasoning

I’m changing all of my Private Criteria. My previous criteria was:

The shot has written vowels
180f5ba290bc1d03d89eff1472f833bf1672fe97f44c1e4da55846d131b33198

I claim the Outstanding Composition award for having five private Criteria, each of which has an Unsatisfying score of 0 and a Satisfying score of 5

Rescinding this Claim because it was based on faulty scoring of satisfying criteria.

If the Proposal “Cooperative Emperor Style” is not enacted, this Proposal has no effect.

In the Core rule “Victory and Ascension” at the end of the bullet point that begins with “Optionally specify their Imperial Style”, add the following text:

The wiki page named Imperial Styles is not gamestate and may be freely editable.

In the Appendix, replace “All wiki pages that the Dynastic Rules explicitly mention (except for dynastic histories and discussion pages)” with:-

All wiki pages that the rules and Building Blocks explicitly mention (except for the FAQ, the dynastic histories and discussion pages)

In “Building Blocks”, replace “That page is gamestate and may not be altered except as specified by the ruleset or through the passage of a Proposal or CfJ; however, its contents are not rulestext.” with:-

That page’s contents are not rulestext.

To “Spelling and Formatting”, add:-

* A Seeker may change the layout or design of a gamestate wiki page if doing so would not change how any rules interpreted its content.
