Proposal: Replacing Unoccupied Sets Tactfully

In the rule Scoring, after

Calculate the median value among all of the recorded numbers of that Backronym, rounded down to the nearest integer, and add the result to the Points of the author of that Backronym.

add the sentence:

If no such numbers were recorded, use the value 4 instead.

If the ruleset contains the text

At any time, a Wordsmith’s Generosity is the mean average of the value of their most recent Scorings on the Backronyms posted by other Wordsmiths in response to the preceding two Acrogenerates, not including the most recent Acrogenerate if there are currently open Backronyms posted in response to it.

add the following text after it:

For this calculation, the mean average of an empty collection is considered to be 2.15.

 

Do not choose an element of an empty set. Do not divide by zero.
