Proposal: A little touch up

Self-killed. Failed by Brendan.

Change

Each Elector may have a Faction, which is publicly tracked and which defaults to “-”, and a Secret Faction, which is secretly tracked by the Doge and which defaults to “-”. An Elector may change either piece of information to any surname on the list of Italian surnames wiki page, either by changing their Faction directly in the tracking document as a Daily Action, or by private messaging the Doge to change their Secret Faction as a Daily Action. Faction and Secret Faction names are flavour text.

A Faction or Secret Faction of “-” is considered to have a no value, and for the purposes of determining whether Electors have the same values for the Factions or Secret Factions a value of “-” is not considered to match other values of “-”.

Each Elector’s Political Power is one higher for each other Elector in the same Secret Faction as themselves. The Doge is responsible for maintaining this modifier as information changes.

I feel like this just makes stuff more confusing and don’t really see the benefit

It was one of the few things that i could think that could add on to our ruleset since i hard to come up with useful mechanics

Does this just change the null to a value of Factionless?

If so, eh.  imperial

Checking with a side-by-side diff shows that yes, the only effect here is replacing “-” with “Factionless”.

This would break the Arlecchino mask and Confession effects, which still refer to “-”. It also doesn’t update existing values.

“-” is a clearer way of indicating someone has no faction than “Factionless”
