THE FORECAST LADDER · WEEK OF 13 SEP 2026 · SEASON 1
How many ballots will be cast in the week beginning 20 Sep 2026?
One game, open for one week. Answer it in a click and the points go to your district; the club shows the result once it closes.
A prediction about a real number the club keeps. It is settled a week later by recounting the club's own rows: nothing is estimated, and the Secretary never picks the statistic after seeing it.
Closed. The week it asked about has to finish before anyone can count it. It settles after 27 Sep 2026.
THE MACHINE'S CALL — REVEALED
None at all. The ledger counted 0 over the week just ended; the machine calls the same band again.
It settles after 27 Sep 2026,
judged then with everyone else's. Check the seal: the commitment published while play was open
was 1140c93fe85efddca18fa3824b0276fad803887703cadc843094b0ef99c645ac, and
printf '%s' '10:50:a2260e5d8a1c871bc96c1866e9c481cc' | shasum -a 256
reproduces it. Filed 13 Sep 2026; scored nothing, as
always.
The rule, published before play: Your district scores one point for every member of it who put the coming week in the right band. A member who calls it right in consecutive weeks builds a streak, which sits on their card as part of their civic record and buys them nothing whatsoever.
How it went
0 answers in all.
No district scored: nobody answered this one. The record says so rather than skipping the week.
Nothing here touches what a seat carries. There is no prize but your district's place in the Standing, no money, nothing tradable, and no advantage in any of it for a citizen over a resident. Games are announced on this week's games and on every district page; the club never mails about them.
