So, a while ago I succeeded in phasing “good luck” out of my vocabulary, and I replaced it with “enjoy,” which has the great virtue of being only 2 syllables. But reading that has inspired me to seek another replacement.
At the moment, what comes to mind are “make your own luck,” “think positively,” and “prepare well.” All of those are longer, though, and it’s not clear they’re better. Thoughts / suggestions?
Between members, perhaps, but most of the people I interact with are not part of the Less Wrong Conspiracy, and it’s not clear to me what that would mean to them, whereas something like “choose well” seems less ambiguous.
I’ve used “have fun” for the past several years. “Choose well” occurred to me within the last week or so, I’ve been signing my emails with it. Both are two syllables, “choose well” works for rationalists and sounds like what you’re looking for.

How about just one syllable—“win”. Maybe this should be the standard well-wishing utterance among the Less Wrong Conspiracy.

Every Conspiracy needs a secret handshake.

Oooh, I like that. I’ll give it a try.
Be lucky! It sounds very similar to good luck, and is clearly a substitute; it’s just a bit more active. It does have three syllables, however.
