Add a sub-rule, Time Out, to the rule Victory Conditions:
If, at 00:00:01 on October 12, 2015, no Prisoner has yet achieved Victory, follow the following instructions in order until a Prisoner has achieved Victory:
- If there is exactly one Prisoner with the highest SHIV Score, they have achieved Victory.
- If, among the Prisoners tied for the highest SHIV Score, exactly one has the lowest Sentence, that Prisoner has achieved Victory.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 substituting “highest SHIV Score” with “second highest SHIV Score” then with “third highest SHIV Score”, “fourth highest SHIV Score”, and so on.
- Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3, substituting “lowest Sentence” for “second lowest Sentence” and so on.
- The Warden will choose a Prisoner other than the Warden, and make a Story Post titled “Oh, Thank Goodness”, the text of which is the chosen Prisoner’s name. That Prisoner has achieved Victory.
I doubt we’ll still be going on October 12, and I seriously doubt we’ll get to sixth highest SHIV Score, third lowest Sentence, but if that happens, we’ll be ready.
Yes, I’m being entirely serious.
Likewise. By all other rules, a high SHIV score is a bad thing.
It will encourage some riskier play before the deadline passes, and if no-one manages to win positively a negative win seems reasonable. We either escape through the front door or in a body bag!

I’m not against a timeout, just the method for choosing a winner
