Proposal: The Back Room Buzz

Replace the text of the rule “Buzzwords” with the following:

Buzzwords is a list of English words that are privately tracked by the Puzzler and defaults to an empty list. If Buzzwords is an empty list, the Puzzler should secretly randomly select 5 words from the [[EFF Wordlist]] and add the selected words to the Buzzwords.

In the rule “Scoring”, add the following as the last step of the Resolving atomic action:

* For each word in the title of that Backronym that matches a word in the Buzzwords, increase the Points of the author of that Backronym by 2.

Refining Raven’s idea for Buzzwords. I’ll leave it open as to if and when to generate a replacement set of Buzzwords.

Let me know if I’m being too heavy-handed here. I’m attempting to refine and tidy others’ ideas, but I don’t want to put my thumb down on the scales too hard.
