In the rule “Guesses” replace the text “Make a story post to the blog clearly declaring the name of the Targeted Seeker, and what the guesser thinks one of their Private Criteria are” with this text:
Make a story post to the blog containing each the following items: the name of the Targeted Seeker, text that uniquely identifies a single existing Authentic Shot posted within the last 48 hours where the Targeted Seeker has not yet responded to that post and the guesser is not the author of that post, and a number between 1 and 4 inclusive that the guesser thinks is the number of Private Criteria that the named Authentic Shot will satisfy for the Targeted Seeker.
In the same rule, replace the steps for the atomic action Resolving the Guess with the following steps:
* If the number mentioned in the guess is the same as the number of Private Criteria that is satisfied for the Targeted Seeker for that Authentic Shot, respond to the post with a
, reduce their own Score by the Exposure of each of the Private Criteria that is satisfied by that Authentic Shot, and increase the score of the Guesser by the same amount, and then remove each of that Private Criteria from the Target’s private criteria list (resetting its satisfying and unsatisfying counts to zero in the process)
* If the guess is not the same as the number of Private Criteria that is satisfied for the Targeted Seeker for that Authentic Shot, respond to the post with a
Hopefully this will address the comments from the previous iteration of the Guessing Game proposal. Please do look for holes in this. Suggestions are welcome to word this more concisely if possible. That’s one thing I often struggle with.

For concision I’d consider dropping all the hash stuff and keeping it closer to the existing guess system where it’s just said out loud and the targeted player has to respond to it. So I can make a Guess post saying that “I think that Snap 042, which Jonathan hasn’t yet responded to, matches 3 of his current Criteria”, and you’d give it a thumbs up or down.
Would also be a good idea to limit it to guesses on a third party’s photos. Otherwise a player could deliberately recreate a recent photo as best they can, and make a Guess based on the target’s previous matches for it, which would very probably pay out.
