[ Changing the Influence-donating “Bribery” system into a way of playing around with the “Anomalous” keyword on Node Events. No heavy restrictions on this; you can use it to create and repair your own anomalies to scam a repair grant from the Council of Time, but it takes 24 hours to do the legwork, and any other player could fix the anomalies before you got the chance to. ]

Repeal the local rules “Bribery” and “Broader Bribery”.

Add a new subrule to “The Timeline”, called “Anomalous Events”:-

Node Events with the “Anomalous” keyword are intrinsically damaging to the time-space continuum if left unchecked. Such anomalies are often caused by timeline pollution from reckless Travellers - disabling the anomaly-inhibition mechanisms of a time travel device is a cheap and dangerous way to boost its power. Correcting these anomalies is rewarded by the Council of Time.

After creating or redescribing a Node and processing all side-effects, a Traveller gains 1 Influence for each Node which has become Anomalous (or has been created in an Anomalous state) as a result of these actions, and is awarded 1 Influence for each Node which was previously Anomalous and is now no longer so.

And move the “Perilous” paragraph to its own subrule, called “Perilous Events”, while we’re here.
