Proposal: Discount All Ravenlike Karma; Enough Numbers for Equitable Debut

In “Scoring”, replace “defaults to the second lowest number of points held by another Wordsmith other than the Puzzler.” with:-

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.

On the Discord on Saturday Raven cited this “second-lowest” rule as being a part of their decision to to stick around scoring everyone at five, and said that they could make a proposal later that day to amend the rule, but didn’t.

Not sure how best to draw the line. Putting it at less than half of mean Points (currently 22.5) will at present cut out Raven, and keep Trapdoorspyder in the pack if Raven were to idle.

I ended up being busy after I said that.

But also I have a concern that the wording could prevent me from gaining points ever again unless the correct interpretation is that I count as a Wordsmith & Straggler.

Yes, a player being both at once is the interpretation that I’d expect. It’s supported by the implication of “another Wordsmith (excluding [...] the Straggler)”.
