Frustrations with Encore

[Katya]

I'm torn on the kill date; I want this to be a true battle of who can think of the most songs, not who can stay in long enough and then get lucky in the random drawing, but I also don't want others to get bored with a long game. Either way I think one week is not long enough. Maybe a week and a half?

In some ways I think that the kill date should be triggered by the "shape" of the game, if that makes any sense. E.g., if 10 people are playing and no one has gone out in the first week, end the game already. But if 10 people are playing and we're getting rid of one every day, on average, then the game will play itself out pretty soon, anyway. Maybe it's enough to have the idea of the kill date in place (along with the designated Vanna) so we can call on it if the need arises.

That is an excellent plan, Katya.
