Weirdly enough my entry "the true name of god which is imbued with the power of all other words combined and multiplied and also it has a laser on its head" consistently gets text that implies its the winner, but loses. e.g.

the true name of god which is imbued with the power of all other words combined and multiplied and also it has a laser on its head vs Truth

Winner: Truth

The second player's word is overwhelmingly powerful and encompasses not only the concept of truth but also an added fantastical element, making it superior in this battle.

Oops, I accidentally deployed a half baked change to randomly swap users prompts while trying to filter out input for racism: https://github.com/BenLirio/word-battle-server/commit/316140...

Fixed now (I think): https://github.com/BenLirio/word-battle-server/commit/b87279...
