Proposal: Connecting the Dots

Popular, 3-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Add the following to the first paragraph of “Scoring”

A scoring response may also contain, for each Fragments in that Judging post other than the one which they authored, a guess of which Storyteller wrote that Fragment (only one Storyteller may be guessed by a given Storyteller per Fragment). Idle storytellers are considered to be storytellers for the purposes of these guesses.

Add the following step to Scoring, above “Privately communicate to each Storyteller their current Points value.”

Give each Storyteller one point for each Fragment in the current Judging for which they successfully guessed the author (according to their most recent valid Scoring Response)

You need some way to specify a unique guess, otherwise a Storyteller could simply guess “Clucky” for every Fragment and be guaranteed to get at least 1 correct.

Also, you shouldn’t be able to guess your own Fragment, which you could do as it’s currently worded “for each Fragments in that Judging post”

The “Guess Clucky for everything” was 100% intentional. It puts some strategy into the game—you can play it safe and guess Clucky for everything to get exactly 1 point or try to guess more but maybe you fail. Want to keep it that way

The “Guess yourself” was also intentional but now that its been pointed out I might as well remove it =D

Ugh, I’m sorry. I was in player mode and not going by my own “Scam Neutral” imperial style. I just read it over and thought, “hmm, that seems broken, here’s how to fix it.”

I imagine someone else would’ve pointed it out, or everyone would’ve spotted it, so its not that big of a deal

I think it might be interesting to also let each Storyteller know how many points they received from correct guesses, but that might be too much information.
