Append the following paragraph to the rule “Involuntary Representation Service”:
As a weekly action, a Player can spend 2 SP to cause the author of a specified Pending Representation Proposal to lose a number of SP equal to half the number of Players in its Representation List, rounded down, or all their SP if they don’t have that much SP.
or if more than half the EVCs on this proposal contain “Make it harsher”, instead append:
As a weekly action, a Player can spend 3 SP to cause the author of a specified Pending Representation Proposal to lose a number of SP equal to the number of Players in its Representation List, or all their SP if they don’t have that much SP.
Limiting the length of Representation Lists to SP doesn’t really help avoid the repeated creation of long Representation Lists we’re seeing, because rich players will still be able to Represent all the players they want. Better that there’s some penalty to making large representation lists willy-nilly, although not a guaranteed one, depending on whether other players are willing to spend SP to punish them.
(I personally prefer the less harsh version; flurie suggested the harsher one because he thought the mechanic might be a bit weak otherwise.)
