Proposal: Match Off

Fewer than a quorum not voting AGAINST. Failed 1 vote to 5, by Kevan.

Adminned at 23 Jul 2025 08:53:09 UTC

Add a new rule named “Match Off” with the following text:

Subpoint Total of a Enacted Backronym is defined as the average of X on said Backronym; where X is from instances of the final “Score X” individual Wordsmiths have posted on it’s entries.

At Acrogenerate; add the following points after “If the state of the blog is Endgame and a single Wordsmith has more points than any other Wordsmith (ignoring any Wordsmiths that are not allowed to achieve Victory for other reasons), skip the rest of this action and instead make a blog post declaring that Wordsmith victorious; upon doing so, that Wordsmith achieves victory”:

If the state of the blog is Endgame and two or more Wordsmiths have equal amounts of points which are both more than any other Wordsmith; they are the Ascending Wordsmiths. If there is a single Ascending Wordsmith with a Subpoint Total of the last Backronym that is higher than any other Ascending Wordsmiths, skip the rest of this action and instead make a blog post declaring that Wordsmith victorious; upon doing so, that Wordsmith achieves victory.

If there are any Ascending Wordsmiths; and their last Enacted Backronym have the same Subpoint Total; check the Subpoint Total of their second-to-last Enacted Backronym, and the third and so forth. If; at any point; if there is a single Ascending Wordsmith with a Subpoint Total that is higher than any other Ascending Wordsmiths, skip the rest of this action and instead make a blog post declaring that Wordsmith victorious; upon doing so, that Wordsmith achieves victory.

kinda not wanting to play any more rounds.

against I’m sorry you’re having a rough time with this dynasty. It seems to be extra-mechanical so I understand why you’re not directly proposing to bring the game to where you want it to be. For my own vote, I’m still having fun; one more round of this wouldn’t bother me much.

I’m happy to have a tie-breaker end in whatever way the group would prefer it. I don’t want this to be tortuous to the players that aren’t having fun with it any longer.

against Does seem a bit late to change the tiebreak underfoot, and have it retroactively depend on earlier rounds.

against This would’ve been fine earlier but not with the endgame round already having scores on its Backronyms.
