Logik please probate everyone over 10 days, as we have all been owned, by the dems having no spine

i would, but i'm hesitant on straying from the upfront rules too much because i want people to feel like competing without too much ambiguity in the rules. that said, it's a sixer lol

i am willing to go with scrubleague's idea and let people go for double or nothing in the next shutdown, if it occurs. something like if you lost the first time around, you can request to go all in the second time around risking something like a 24 probe for a new avatar/title for yourself, and also a new avatar for somebody else :getin:. i'll probably think about this in more detail later.

what fun is a competition without stakes. if the government can be shut down for a weekend with no consequences what is a 24h in comparison?

im so bad at following rules that I thought the winners were only the people that guessed the right amount of days. I was bracing for my probe for days.

i definitely made it more complicated than it should've been. i wanted people to grow worried that their numbers were coming up, but that was a big nothing because of how short it was and because it was a mere 6 hr probe. there will be changes next time

Everyone gets probed for however long the shutdown goes.

Probation
Can't post for 4 hours!
(very Chuck Schumer voice) start probating people at random every day once the next deadline hits if no deal has been made this is a good compromise because it will terrify your loyal constituents for assuming that you were acting in good faith and they will rise up against the other mods

(very Mitch McConnell voice) actually just ban them that's even better

Ooh, that would be good. Maybe not "everyone", but like, the guesses that are furthest off

i dont know, probating people for 24 hours seems a little weak. because theres no way dems arent caving again
