    • LockoutIncorrectGuessLimit: The maximum number of times the player can make an incorrect submission before getting locked out
    • LockoutIncorrectGuessPeriod: The number of minutes we should consider when counting the number of incorrect submissions. If in this window, the player had submitted a number of answers that surpass LockoutIncorrectGuessLimit the player will get locked out.
    • LockoutDurationMultiplier: The number that will be multiplied to LockoutIncorrectGuessPeriod to determine the amount of time the player will have to wait. For example, for the given picture above,

      • The player will have to wait 30 seconds after making 5 more incorrect guesses (10 incorrect in total)
      • The player will have to wait 60 seconds after making 5 more incorrect guesses (15 incorrect guesses in total)
      • so on
