Enact a new rule, “Reports”:-
A Report is a list of Activists’ names, each Activist appearing no more than once in the list, and each name being immediately followed in brackets by a Loyalty, which is that Activist’s Suspected Loyalty. A Report should also include a single English word at the end, to prevent rival Activists from guessing at its contents.
An Activist may File a Report by posting the hash of it in a blog comment.
An Activist may Reveal a Report which they have already Filed, by posting the original text of the Report in a blog comment. Once it has been revealed, the Accuracy of such a Report is equal to the number of Activists listed in it whose Loyalty has not been shown to be different from the list’s Suspected Loyalty for them. The Accuracy of an unrevealed Report is zero.
Some rough placeholdering to suggest making the game about working out the identities of other players. The hashed-Loyalty mechanism is unusual for allowing players to freely and provably share information through other channels, so we should establish what the consequences might be.
We could also penalize low-accuracy reports somehow.
