In the rule “Acronym”, replace the text “If the result is greater than or equal to the Threshold” with “If the result is less than or equal to the Threshold”.
In the rule “Scoring”, move the text “, or twice the result if the state of the blog is Endgame” to just after the text “and add the result to the Points of the author of that Backronym”.
Threshold increases as the median Wordsmith Points increases. I’m pretty sure we want the chances of going into the Endgame to be greater as the Threshold increases, not less.
Example: When the Threshold is 1 (median Wordsmith Points is 21), the chance of rolling greater than or equal to 1 is 100%. When the Threshold is 20 (median Wordsmith Points is 40), the chance of rolling reater than or equal to 20 is 5%.
The other part of this is when “Replacing Unoccupied Sets Tactfully” was enacted, it pushed out the doubling of Points gained during Endgame to a different sentence, likely because the author didn’t anticipate the Proposal that added the Endgame doubling clause in. I’m attempting to restore the original intention that I think it was.
