Replace “Each Seeker has a set of up to five Private Criteria, which are a type of Criteria - defaulting to blank - which are privately tracked by themselves, and which are publicly tracked through the use of an sha256 hash which includes those criteria as well as a reasonable (no more than 5 character) salt. A Seeker may set or amend their Private Criteria as a weekly action.” with:

Each Seeker has a set of up to five Private Criteria, which are a type of Criteria - defaulting to blank. Each Private Criteria is privately tracked by its seeker, and publicly tracked by its sha256 hash. Each Private Criteria is also tracked with a count of satisfying Shots and unsatisfying Shots, both defaulting to 0. At any time a Seeker may change any of their Private Criteria while also resetting its satisfying and unsatisfying counts to zero.

In “Scoring”, replace the text after “Within 24 hours” to the end of the rule with:

Within 24 hours of such a Shot having been posted, each Seeker (including the poster) may at most once respond to it stating which of their own Private Criteria that Shot satisfies and does not satisfy. Upon doing so:
* For each Private Criteria in the response that the Shot satisfies, that Private Criteria’s satisfying count is incremented by one, and its owner’s Score is incremented by that Private Criteria’s unsatisfying count.
* For each Private Criteria in the response that the Shot does not satisfy, that Private Criteria’s unsatisfying count is incremented by one, and its owner’s Score is incremented by that Private Criteria’s satisfying count.

To avoid trite criteria (triteria?), this rewards keeping around long-standing private criteria with the goal of being satisfied by half the pictures: if they all satisfy, your satisfying count will be high, but you never get unsatisfying pictures that can capitalize that in your score, and vice-versa.

Oh, interesting.

This does provide a big disincentive to ever changing your criteria, which in turn makes me worried that people will largely hold off from setting any… But maybe we can see how that pans out in the playing for

My biggest worry is that having to name which criteria the Shot meets will make guessing criteria much easier. Makes it difficult to come up with reasonable criteria that won’t be guessed immediately.

Probably need to making Satisfying and Unsatisfying Shots publicly tracked. Right now, the wording does not say “publicly”, so I think that defaults to privately tracked.

It would default to being Orphaned if we didn’t say where to track it, but I think private tracking is strongly enough implied here, for being in the same place as the Criteria itself: “Each Private Criteria is privately tracked by its seeker, [...] Each Private Criteria is also tracked with a count of satisfying Shots and unsatisfying Shots…”
