Proposal: Blind Tally

In “Scoring”, remove the bullet point:-

* Post a comment to that Backronym with the text “This is closed”

Then add to the end of that bulleted list:-

* Post a comment to that Backronym noting that the Backronym is now closed, and stating how many Points were gained during this Resolving, and which action steps they were gained from

Asking the Puzzler to say how much a Backronym scored, and where those points came from, rather than this being something to be deduced from the wiki history.

Would this require me to reveal the “X+2” from being that Wordsmith’s Rival? I don’t think it would since the “action step” of Scoring is just the median results and doesn’t need to contain the actual values used in calculating the median, but I wanted it to be clear.

I’d agree with that reading, this is only asking you to say how many Points were gained and which Steps they came from; the X+2 step doesn’t assign any Points.
