against This seems enough to render the Word Bank redundant, it’s likely only going to be one word that’s ever getting in the way of a particular idea.

The alternative is permanent first mover advantage. Two rounds in a row we’ve seen a player get sniped; doesn’t seem like great gameplay.

If we want to use time of submission as part of the gameplay this dynasty, we need some weights on both ends. I’m not sure there’s much early weight left if we defang the Word Bank.
