In the rule “Backronym”, add a subrule named “Yielding” with the following text:

Each Wordsmith has a publicly tracked Status that is either Playing or Yielding, defaulting to Playing. If a Wordsmith has not posted a Backronym since the most recent Acrogenerate, that Wordsmith may set their Status to either Playing or Yielding at any time. A Wordsmith whose Status is Playing is said to be a Playing Wordsmith, and a Wordsmith whose Status is Yielding is said to be a Yielding Wordsmith. Yielding Wordsmiths may not post Backroynms.

In the rule “Backronym”, add a subrule named “Reminders” with the following text:

If at least a quorum of Wordsmiths have posted a Backronym since the most recent Acrogenerate, the Puzzler should privately send a message of their choice to each Playing Wordsmith who has not posted a Backronym since the most recent Acrogenerate, if the Puzzler has not done so for that Wordsmith in the past 24 hours.

In the rule “Acronym”, replace the text “either a) it has been at least 96 hours since the last time Acrogenerate was performed or b) every Wordsmith” with “every Playing Wordsmith”.

In the same rule, add the following bullet point just before the last step in the Acrogenerate atomic action:

* Set every Wordsmith’s Status to Playing.
