Add a new Institution, reading:
“The Rebels: When a player influences the Rebels, they gain 2 of each Resource. In addition, during the next Cycle, they may not Direct resources at any of the Institutions they Directed resources at this cycle.”
Aims to avoid obvious decision making and parallelism.
@Bucky, in a time of political upheaval, it is to be expected for allegiance of political aristocrats to be unreliable. This is not a rebellion against the planetary government per se, but against those loyal to the wider Empire.
My main objection is that this would be vastly more valuable than any other institution. How do the rebels have more marines than the legion AND more councilmen than the council AND the power/credit benefit of the Slave Pits which are more difficult to influence?
I agree with yonah, but I also think that one of each is too much. What about a sacrifice of 1 power for 1 of every other resource?
Patrick, I think at that point it would get way overpowered. Remember, this effectively will mean the Influencer will not be able to earn income form their 1 credit bids the next round, unless they only target half of the institutions, which slows down how quickly they can grow.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.

Where did the Rebels get Councilmen?
