No. There are no hot dogs, but there are 4 words right.

In any other case, The Writer shall comment that the Guess is wrong and should include some reasons as to why it was wrong on the same comment. The writer shall also include in the comment the number of words in the guess that appear exactly in the theme (excluding punctuation).

When a time limit is not given, it should mean “at your earliest convince”. Stop delaying this dynasty with dick moves. Its ceasing to be fun.

Was that meant to be in response to this, Clucky?

There was a trend for explicit “may take no other game actions until they’ve done this” clauses, in another Nomic I used to play.

@clucky: Am I a dick because I am not helping YOU win? I am abusing rules with loopholes like everybody else. Correct the loopholes first, I won’t even vote against the corrections.

@kevan: That sounds like a fine solution, if it were to be added to that rule (and others!)

I imagine all proposals to date have been made on the assumption that the Writer is an honest, encouraging gamesmaster who wants us to enjoy his dynasty.

I hope I speak for all active non-Writer Members of the Staff when I say:  You’re not supposed to be helping ANYONE win (or lose).  Clucky has a guess that you have intentionally chosen to skip over and ignore so that you could see how we would respond.  That is hurting everyone who is awaiting the response, and we cannot see a good reason for it.
