If the Proposal “X Marks the Spot” doesn’t pass, this proposal does nothing
If there is a rule called “X Marks the Spot” add the following steps directly before “The Pirate repeals the rule”
* The pirate chooses a secret English word X.
* The pirate creates a new string Y by taking X, appending the name of the island which contains the Pirate’s Treasure to the end, and appending the name of the Landmark on that island to the end of that.
* The pirate constructs Z, the SHA-256 hash of Y (either by using this tool: http://www.xorbin.com/tools/sha256-hash-calculator or an equivalent algorithm)
* The pirate appends “The code for the location of the Pirate’s Treasure is ‘Z’. Trying to determine the location from the code is against fair play” after “This is tracked privately by the Pirate.” in the rule “Landmarks” (where Z is the hash constructed above)
If there is no rule called “X Marks the Spot” add a new rule called “Back to the X” and give it the following text
At their earliest convenience, the Pirate should Complete the Map, if they have not already done so. Upon doing so, they must take the following steps in order
* The pirate chooses a secret English word X.
* The pirate creates a new string Y by taking X, appending the name of the island which contains the Pirate’s Treasure to the end, and appending the name of the Landmark on that island to the end of that.
* The pirate constructs Z, the SHA-256 hash of Y (either by using this tool: http://www.xorbin.com/tools/sha256-hash-calculator or an equivalent algorithm)
* The pirate appends “The code for the location of the Pirate’s Treasure is ‘Z’. Trying to determine the location from the code is against fair play” after “This is tracked privately by the Pirate.” in the rule “Landmarks” (where Z is the hash constructed above)
* The Pirate repeals this rule.
The idea being Raichu can share X after the dynasty. It would be nearly impossible for them to change the location of the treasure and find a new X that generates the same hash.

. I trust Raichu to play fair, but some concerns were raised in Kevan’s post and I don’t think this really causes any harm

No harm in it that I can see.

It’d certainly be better to have a hash salt stronger than “one dictionary word”, than to encourage fair play in not brute-forcing 25*7 possibilities for each dictionary word.
The Code overload isn’t great, but I don’t think it breaks anything - the location of the Pirate’s Treasure is defined as “one Landmark of one Island”, and Landmarks do not have Codes.

I don’t feel like dealing with a ban CfJ because someone felt that “Trying to determine the location from the code is against fair play” applies to the treasure’s island’s Code.

If this passes, there’s a good chance I brute-force it despite the ineffective “fair play” clause and just don’t tell anyone.

Then I trust me better than I do the set of all Hunters who might play in this Dynasty, really.
