Enact a new rule, “Confessions”:-

As a daily action, a Prisoner may confess to a Crime by posting a blog entry to this effect, with “Crime:” in its title and naming a single other Prisoner as the Crime’s Accomplice in its body. A post such as this is known as a Confession to that Crime, and the Prisoner who posted it is the Crime’s Suspect.

A Crime’s Suspect or Accomplice may respond to its Confession with a Statement (if they have not already done so on that Confession), being a blog comment to that Confession which contains a single Hash.

A Crime’s Suspect or Accomplice may Sign a Statement he or she has made by posting a follow-up comment on the same Confession which specifies a piece of text whose Hash is the same as the Hash in their Statement. Upon doing so: if that piece of text contains the word “defect” (with any capitalisation) then the Prisoner who wrote the Statement has Defected on that Confession, otherwise they have Cooperated.

If both Prisoners have either Cooperated or Defected on a Confession, then any Prisoner may update the gamestate as follows for that Confession, after which point the Confession is over and ceases to be a Confession:

  • If the Suspect and Accomplice both Cooperated, each has their Sentence increased by 1 year.
  • If the Suspect Cooperated and the Accomplice Defected, the Suspect has their Sentence increased by 3 years.
  • If the Suspect Defected and the Accomplice Cooperated, the Accomplice has their Sentence increased by 3 years.
  • If the Suspect and Accomplice both Defected, each has their Sentence increased by 2 years.

If a Confession has existed for more than 72 hours, then any Prisoner who is its Crime’s Suspect or Accomplice is considered to have Cooperated on it, if they have not already Defected on it. If a Criminal ceases to be a Criminal for any reason, then any Confession for whose Crime they are a Suspect or an Accomplice ceases to be a Confession.

Move the rule “Hashes” to the end of the dynastic ruleset, and reword it to:-

A string of 32 hexademical characters is known as a Hash. The Hash of a piece of text is the MD5 Hash generated for it at http://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php.
