This does not contain an ‘anti-runaway games’ provision. I’m letting you know so you have a chance to add it.

How is this now? I am still open to revisions though.

You need to specify how often people can oversee a game - i.e. change it to “a daily action”, “a weekly action”, etc.

Also, I would like codification on what an unambiguous acceptance of a challenge is, since presumably this has to happen in public or else there will probably be some nasty CFJs.

oracular rufio, derrick: How is it now? I think I resolved all of the issues unless new ones have appeared.

Ok, specifically I think there should be *some* limit on the number of games, not “you can do it whenever”.

ocular rufio, I added this previously: “No two players may play more than five games with each other under this provision per week.”

I don’t think that’s a strict enough restriction.

ocular rufio, what would you recommend?

I do the issue though, with the current draft there can be up to 807 games per two weeks.

There needs to be a limit to the number of games per week that each team can have.  Not each pair of teams.

ocular rufio, how is it now?

That’s better, but I think it should just be a specific number.  “Number of players” is ambiguous here - it could be number of blognomic players (which I think you meant, in which case it should be “Managers”, that’s not what I would go for personally but I would vote for it) or number of players in the Bloggsball match.

oracular rufio, I think I have resolved all of the issues.

I just realized you have taken out the part that says that no one can play more than two more games than anyone else, which I liked. With this, two people could collude and play their five games with each other and then their extra for the biweekly action, and potentially get ahead of everyone else.  If they are evenly matched, they each win about three of those six games (if they are not evenly matched, they are unlikely to collude).

Hmm.  I guess that’s not too bad.  I’ll leave it for now in case you want to change it, and to see what others think.

Well that looks like it took some work to get this incarnation.

Ocular Rubio, the rest of the players could then collude to catch up, therefore I am leaving it.

And I am then voting against it. sorry.

derrick, if this fails, I will add provisions in a new version.

This would also remove

A Manager whose team has played two more games than any other manager may not have their team play in a blogsball game.

from the rule. A good reason to specify the changes as the difference instead of rewriting the whole rule. 

And if I read more carefully I would have seen that point’s already been discussed.
