Reached quorum, 5-0 with 1 DEF and both Masterminds voting FOR. Enacted by JonathanDark.

In the rule The Crew {M}, replace all instances of the word Banker with Treasurer.

In the rule Teams and Targets {I}, replace “If a Participant (Participant A) ever does not have a Target, any Participant (Participant B) can set Participant A’s Target to a randomly selected Mastermind’s Target, specifying who Participant A is when making that selection.”
with

If a non-Mastermind Participant (Participant A) ever does not have a Target, any Participant (Participant B) can set Participant A’s Target to a randomly selected Mastermind’s Target, specifying who Participant A is when making that selection.

If a Mastermind ever does not have a Target, or if their Target is the same as any other Mastermind, any Participant may set that Mastermind’s Target to a random EFF Word, specifying which Mastermind it is when making that random selection.

A couple of fixes I’ve promised

You might need to require players to specify which Mastermind they’re choosing the target for, otherwise a Mastermind might argue that they can randomly roll a word and then assign it to themself or the other Mastermind depending on how difficult it is. (I don’t think that scam actually works, but it’s the sort of thing that players historically tend to attempt.)

FWIW, I think the “random legal value” wording was probably simpler, but it may have been harder to understand.

Done. I personally preferred the random legal value wording too, but this is more in line with how EFF Words are meant to work now I believe.
