BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

So just to clarify, it’s as many pairs of art submissions and brokers as you like, and if you get them all correct, you get the same number of kudos as the number of guesses? WHy would you only make one guess submission and not split it into one submission for each guess maximizing the chances of getting a few points, if not all of them?

I think we’ll either need to incentivize guessing multiple times in the same submission (some kind of multiplier?), or limit the number of submissions, but I like the idea

“Any submission of a given type for a given round overrides previous submissions of that type made by the same Broker that round” means you cannot guess multiple times in a round

no clucky, what starbright is saying here is that:
- one guess submission can contain many Guesses
- one Guess is “a pair of a title of *one or more* pieces of art from the gallery for the previous round, and the name of an Broker or Idle Broker”
- u get points for each guess, not each guessed piece of art
- there’s no rule that u can’t have multiple Guesses naming the same broker in one guess submission
- so the “one or more” in the definition of Guesses is silly bc its always better to split your guesses up to the minimum, exactly one piece of art per guess

or… nvm, starbright is saying something else that’s just very similar to that. i think the overlap between the terms “Guess” and “Guess Submission” is too confusing :‘u

Oh yeah, the “one or more pieces of art” part in the guess definition is just an editing mistake. Might need to kill this and repropose with the proper wording. But it’s late so leaving it up for now

I don’t think we should be incentivising the breakdown of the obscurity of broker / art pairings. Being able to work out those parings also gives strategic advantages that are their own reward, so adding another reward on top of those is kind of a hat on a hat; on the other hand this mechanic could act as a hedge against a misfired strategic ballot but, look, honestly this whole angle of gameplay just feels a little tedious to me?

Per Josh.

While there is currently strategic advantage in knowing who made what, there isn’t a ton of strategic advantage in keeping that information to yourself. In fact, there might be more strategic advantage in informing others so that they too can vote accordingly to avoid giving a leader more points.

This gives some more negatives to revealing which art you submitted, because you personally don’t gain anything from it but everyone else can make a guess with it.

per Josh

“one or more pieces of art” needs to be fixed from the current form. Might try it again later because I still think at the core its a good idea
