Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Ruses:

If they have not been involved in a Mistaken Identity post this Season, an Elector may initiate a Ruse as a seasonal action by making a Mistaken Identity post. A Mistaken Identity post is a post in the Story Posts category which must name exactly one other Elector who has not previously been involved in a Mistaken Identity post this Season.

As soon as possible after it is posted, the Doge should Evaluate a Mistaken Identity post. Evaluating a Mistaken Identity post is an Atomic Action with the following steps:
* Assess whether or not the ruse is effective. The ruse is effective if the Elector who posted the Mistaken Identity post and the Elector named within it had the same Mask and the same Faction at the time at which the Mistaken Identity post is posted.
* If the ruse is effective, the Doge should add the Political Powers of the involved Electors together, divide the result by two (rounded up), and set the Political Power of both Electors to that value.
* If the ruse is ineffective, the Doge should increase the Political Power of the targeted Elector by 2.
* In either case, the Doge should increase the Scandal of both named electors by 3.
* The Doge should then respond to the Mistaken Identity post to say that it is resolved.

Once the Doge has responded to a Mistaken Identity post, the Ruse is concluded and no further action can be taken with regards to it.
