In “Teams and Targets {I}”, change:
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, and discarding the result if the EFF Word from that random selection appears anywhere in the ruleset at the time that selection was made.
to
Each Mastermind can perform the following Atomic Action while the other Mastermind does not have a Target: randomly choose three EFF Words (rerolling any choices that appeared anywhere in the ruleset at the time the choice was made), then set the other Mastermind’s Target to one of those EFF Words. Masterminds are encouraged to perform this action at their first reasonable opportunity after it becomes possible, and should not unreasonably delay performing it.
The average EFF Word seems to be slightly too easy to get into the ruleset. So this is a way to bias Target selection away from the average.

I think there’s an instruction missing in the middle of this.
