Repeal the rule “Relationships”.
Remove ” or that Wordsmith’s Rival” and “, or X+2 if the Scoring was made by the Backronym author’s Rival, unless X was a 1, in which case record it as the number of Wordsmiths for whom the author of that Backronym is named as their Rival” from the rule “Scoring”.
Players finding small reasons to give out 1-point reviews is feeling a bit harsh. Maybe we should repeal the Rivals system.

Players are finding marginal reasons to give bad scores regardless, often linked to how hard they’re trying to win. At least the rivals system offers the recipient some sense of mechanical justification for receiving a bad score.
