If a Wordsmith’s Pool contains five different numbers (or no repeated numbers), then that Wordsmith is considered Balanced, otherwise they are considered Askew.

A Wordsmith may spend 1 Coin to remove one of their own Favorites, specifying which Favorite in the wiki update that spends the coin.

I’m the dumb admin in this case. Please ignore my recent comments on the Open Backronyms and do your best to Score the remaining Backronyms without looking at my comments, or if it’s too late, try to ignore my comments. I started processing the Backronyms too early. Per the rules:

If the Acronym is Secret, then an Open Backronym can only be resolved if every Open Backronym was either posted at least 48 hours ago, or has a Scoring posted to it from every active Wordsmith other than its author.

Key phrase being “every Open Backronym”.

If “Discount All Ravenlike Karma; Enough Numbers for Equitable Debut” was not enacted, in the rule “Acronym”, insert the following paragraph just after the text “The Puzzler may Acrogenerate if the Acronym is empty.”

defaults to the lowest number of points held by another Wordsmith (excluding the Puzzler and the Straggler, where they exist). If only one Wordsmith has a Points score which is less than half of the mean Points score of the group, they are the Straggler.

Under the rule “Scoring”, remove the text “(if the current Acronym is not RRBM) “.

Rename the rule Savings to Wagers. Change its text to read as follows:

Each Wordsmith has a publicly tracked number of Coins, defaulting to 0.

Each Wordsmith has a Wager, privately tracked by the Puzzler, which can be either a number between 0 to 5 inclusive or a null value, and which defaults to a null value.

If a Wordsmith has not posted a Backronym since the most recent Acrogenerate, as a Virtual Action they may set their Wager to a valid value.

In the rule Scoring, change the following two bullet points:

Subtract the Savings of the author of that Backronym from that author’s Points, to a minimum of 0 Points, then set that author’s Savings to 0.
Take the difference of that author’s Points before the previous step and after the previous step and add that difference to that author’s Coins.

If the author of the Backronym’s Wager has the exact same value as the Points they gained from that Backronym then they also gain Coins equal to the same amount. Otherwise they lose one Coin, to a minimum of zero coins.

The body of the Ascension Address should contain its author’s Backronym for the Endgame Acronym, if it exists.
