THE FORECAST LADDER · WEEK OF 23 AUG 2026 · BEFORE THE FIRST SEASON
How many petitions will be filed or signed in the week beginning 30 Aug 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.
Settled. The answer was 0 — the club's count of petitions filed and signed over the week beginning 30 Aug 2026, recounted from the ledger when that week finished.
THE MACHINE'S CALL — REVEALED
None at all. The ledger counted 0 over the week just ended; the machine calls the same band again.
The ledger said 0 — the machine's band
was right. Check the seal: the commitment published while play was open
was 0855c1a7d3cf058a98074b3d3f86702ad043e6c482f38c3499b5d40d4b478d7c, and

reproduces it. Filed 25 Aug 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.
