spoon-business: Proposal: Mediocraty

[Dan Waldron <wald7330@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Create a new proposal entitled "Mediocraty" with text as follows:
_______

Enact a new rule entitled "C/RG: Mediocraty" with text as follows:

The Mediocraty game is an instance of a Challenge/Response game with the
following attributes:

game name:  Mediocraty sub-game
admin title: the Supremely Mediocre
duration: until repealed
repetetive: when finished
entry fee: 2

The initial S.M should specify what limits are being used for the game
set. The limits may contrain quantities that include those described below
or others.  The bracketed number following each quantity is recommended as
the minimum for that quantity.  However these quantities are only
guidelines and do not determine compliance.  In some cases a maximum will
also be listed here.

The limits may include: 

(x) The level of mediocraty game to be played (min. 1)
(y) The number of players required for the C/R game to start (min 3) 
(z) The number of level n-1 sub-games to play as part of each level n
game.

The S.M is encouraged to be creative and come up with other limits that
may apply to Mediocraty games.

A level n game of mediocraty sub-game consists of z n-1 sub games, unless
n=1 in which case it consists of z individual challenges.

The challenge shall use the following form:  The S.M shall post to the
public forum a message announcing the sub-game and asking players to
submit their quantities.  Players then have three days to respond with
their quantites by private email.

A valid entry specifies one quantity.

At the conclusion of a level n Mediocraty sub-game the winner is
determined.  If n is greater than 1 the winner is the participant who won
the most mediocre number of level n-1 sub-games during that level n game;
that is whose number of level n-1 wins is exceeded by as many participants
as it exceeds.  The winner of a level 1 sub-game is the player whose
specified quantity is the most mediocre.

Prizes shall not be awarded for individual challenges making up a larger
mediocraty game.  Instead, at the conclusion of the game announced by the
first S.M of the game the entire collection of all entry fees
collected for the individual challenges that made up that game
shall be paid to the winner.  This is an exception to rule 336.
