THE MUSTER · WEEK OF 30 AUG 2026 · SEASON 1
The club can afford one extravagance. Which should it be?
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.
Settled. The choices are below, and so is what each district got for them.
THE MACHINE'S CALL — REVEALED
A library. With no neighbour to read, the machine takes the exact middle of the list.
Nobody played; the call stands alone on the record. Check the seal: the commitment published while play was open
was 61cdcb642047544554db47fc9be900d5e1ef2fde5c1ce8c6ed8ab610da1e5acb, and
printf '%s' '5:25:7e72990c8eec54ea2063ef9257d7b7cf' | shasum -a 256
reproduces it. Filed 30 Aug 2026; scored nothing, as
always.
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.
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.
