The next-to-last unique Mortal who comments on this proposal achieves victory.
You can’t comment twice at the end to win – a pure mind game, this.
Who wins in a Quincunx - pokes - Quincunx - card scenario? Is the sequence of unique Mortals Quincunx, pokes, card (counting forward) or pokes, Quincunx, card (counting backward) ?
Unique here doesn’t refer to the posts, just the Mortals. If you comment twice in succession, that’s effectively one comment. If, like Grover Cleveland, you’re both 22 and 24, that’s fine and distinct. I’d win, in that scenario. If the comments were Quincunx-derrick-pokes-card-Quincunx-pokes-pokes-pokes-card-card, then pokes wins, being the 2nd unique mortal named when counting backward (i.e. card, pokes, Quincunx, card, pokes, derrick, Quincunx).
Essentially it prevents an admin from commenting twice then immediately enacting.
