Suggestion #1

Since I am out of proposal slots but can still put some thoughts out there to help.

With the the add onto Buzz Words, one idea I thought about if JD doesn’t mind is point stuff involving stuff about the words used. For example, an idea that came to mind was getting points from words that are either extremely consonant heavy or extremely vowel heavy. Or words with double consecutive letters getting a bonus.

Anyways, just a thought.

Also I am not trying to take away JD’s spotlight as he can comment his thoughts of the idea. I just thought since I have time to wait for my slots to recharge that someone else can contribute with me.

I have no spotlight to take, so please do try any ideas you’d like.

I started off this dynasty, but am happy to give mostly free reign to whatever ideas everyone else has. The only time I’ll push things is when they regard the actions I might need to take per the rules, if I think it might result in any kind of unfairness or subjectivity on my part.

I like your idea about extra points for certain types of words used in Backronyms. Call it “complexity points” or “agenda points”, where either specific types of extra points could be specified in rules, or maybe a formula with random selection could be done, like “at least X consonants”, “at most Y vowels”, etc.

@JD

I just wanted to be clear that I didn’t want my suggestion to come off as me taking away how you want your dynasty to go. I just thought if other players/Wordsmith wanted put stuff for the idea together with me that they could use their slot and help build onto it.

No problem. My comment was to say that I don’t have any wants for how my dynasty goes. I just want it to be fun and fair.

For an extreme example, if a quorum of players wants to stop doing acronyms completely and turn this into a different type of dynasty, I won’t stop it. I’m counting on the momentum generated by the theme and the first few proposals that it probably won’t happen like that, but I wouldn’t stand in the way either.
