I have been wondering if it would make more sense to cap the value of the reset, i.e. if you have less than 40 Radiance you lose half your radiance, but if you have more, you only lose 20. That way, players wouldn't be punished for gradually working towards a win over time (in particular, the relative timing of two players winning would continue to matter, but wouldn't matter to nearly the same extent). I also think that doing that would help decouple radiance wins between the various players to a sufficient extent that we could at least use radiance as officer and judge pay (although probably not proposal pay). -- ais253

So ais523 has basically won 3 times, paradox, stones, and radiance, pretty much in a row. Just would like to point that out.

The wins came together at around the same time, but the start of planning for them was quite separate. (For example, I'd been setting up for the radiance win for well over a year, whereas the paradox win was attempted almost as soon as I noticed it was possible and wasn't pre- planned.) A sequence of two unrelated wins by the same player in quick succession has definitely happened before. I can't remember having seen sequences of three unrelated wins in the past, though. -- ais523
