I updated a #SarlaccPit rules toot to spell out something I think may be looming.
"If all blanks are filled in by polls before there is a correct guess, the host wins."
If the host gets to where the puzzle has been revealed by polls without a guess, so that another poll is not possible, the puzzle is over. The answer is revealed. There is no winner. Basically the same as 10 wrong guesses.
It seems unlikely that it would happen, but I think people are reluctant to guess because they don't want to run the puzzle. Maybe this doesn't happen with #HangTrek because the crowd is more engaged or something.
I think we need a scoreboard or something. Winning is only ever punished. There ought to be a little more at stake so that the puzzles don't end up running for weeks in dead silence.
Idk. Cc: chrysomeles (npub102uā¦a6fj). In case you want to update the Hang Trek rules toots.
