THE MUSTER · WEEK OF 20 SEP 2026 · SEASON 1
The finest kind of number to hold.
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 coordination contest. Everybody chooses alone, at the same time, with no way to talk to each other — this club has no chamber and this game does not build one. What scores is how the choices fit together.
Open until 27 Sep 2026. 0 members have answered, from 0 districts. Nobody — including the Secretary — sees who picked what until it closes.
THE MACHINE'S CALL — SEALED
The referee answers too. Its call was filed 20 Sep 2026 and is sealed until the game closes — what is published now is only the commitment:
670c5a69893b69c2c916413a32b0236976d7956483fdcb8886bc8267aafc2137
sha256 of game:answer:salt (the game's number, the
answer's number, the salt), revealed with the salt and
the machine's stated reasoning at the close, so anyone can re-hash it and confirm
nothing moved. The call enters no pool and scores no points — it is on the record
this early so that it can be wrong in public. Beating it is worth exactly as much as
everything else here: nothing, on your card.
The rule, published before play: Your district scores the size of its largest group of members who picked the same thing. Not the share — the number. A district of nine where seven agree scores seven; the two who went elsewhere cost it nothing, and dropping them would not have gained it anything. Fewer than 3 players and a district scores nothing, because one member agreeing with themselves is not coordination. And none of it decides anything: the house's answer is a straw poll played for points, and deciding is what ballots are for.
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.
