For completeness, the actual totals were 0 proposals and 0 CFJs. Guesses for Jan 4-10: None, even with extension. I intend, without 3 objects, to set the contestmaster of The Cookie Jar to 'none'. I object. Holiday lull != contest has run its course. It ran its course months ago. There aren't, and /never were/, enough people submitting to make a reasonable contest, and the only reminders you give are at the end of a week when it's too late to submit guesses for the next week. That's more an argument for further limiting awards based on the number of guesses submitted. On the other hand, contests in general may have run their course for a while; the FRC is getting plenty of non-Agoran participation lately, the last AAA report was over a month ago, and Enigma has long been sporadic due to (I figure) the difficulty of finding puzzles that aren't either (a) too easy (giving more points to the solvers than the submitter) or (b) too hard (giving no points).

Considering we can know right before the week starts how many I must legally distribute, it's surprising that people guess so early in the week. Then again, I forgot to guess at the end of the week...
