Sir Johnny
I have been reading up the many rules and do not in any way feel threatened by the requirements. Nevertheless, in caw I've missed an important point please clarify the following for me:
Does not the 50-unique-words minimum mean that a poem will exceed a 50-word count (in nominal/regular words) but should essentially not exceed 50 unique words or be short of the same?

The body of each poem must contain 50 or more "unique" words.
A poem of 49 words or less will be flagged as incomplete and the writer will be asked to complete it within 24 hours of posting.
A poem of 50 words with any words repeated will likewise be flagged as incomplete and the writer will be asked to complete it within 24 hours of posting.

Thank you, JB. I understand.

Here’s a sure-fire way to survive NaPoWriMo in style:
Recommended routine
for the rigors
of NaPoWriMo
Wake up before sunrise
Do 100 push-ups
100 crunches and
100 squats
Take a cold shower
brush your teeth
comb your hair
dress in your poet’s uniform
meditate for one hour
while chanting “I can do this”
Make a green smoothie
and chug it down
(the worst it tastes, the healthier it is)
Assume a power
pose for twenty
minutes
Write a poem
edit and do word count
post to DUP
Pat yourself on the back
treat yourself to one square
of dark chocolate
Go to sleep
repeat
thirty times
Rest up until next year.
