Proposal: Computer Sequences

Create a new integer-valued GNDT field named "Credit" and set each Crewmember's Credit to zero. New Crewmembers start with zero Credit.

Add a new rule "Computer Sequences" to the ruleset.

One per day, the Computer may post a Sequence to the main page.

A Sequence is a post with the title "Sequence #N", where N is an indexing number, with a sequence of numbers (in any field) as the body of the post. Sequences are Open or Closed. All Sequences are Open when they are posted.

Any Crewmember may attempt to answer an Open Sequence by posting a reply with no less then the next six terms of that sequence, and optionally the rule that generates the terms of the sequence.

The Computer shall judge whether or not an answer to the Sequence is correct. If the Computer judges an answer satisfactory, then e shall respond to that comment with a FOR vote, which Closes the Sequence and signifies that the answer was substantially correct. Answers are judged chronologically. If different answers are posted to an Open Sequence that satisfy the initial data, the Computer may at eir discretion mark one or more answers as correct by posting FOR votes as responses to those comments.

A Crewmember that correctly answers a Sequence has eir Credit increased by 10. The Computer may further add up to 5 points per Sequence for aesthetics and presentation at eir discretion.

All Sequences shall be listed in a SequenceLog (to be hosted on the BlogNomic wiki) with their status (Open or Closed), and their solutions, if Closed.

We can do something with Credit later. I thought that these points should somehow be distinct from Logic.
