In the rule Ethics of the Nobility rewrite the fourth paragraph as follows:

For any Rumour made in Season 6 or earlier, each Elector may then make a Response, where a Response must comprise of both of the following elements: a public statement (made in a comment to the Rumour Post) setting out briefly what their response to the Rumour will be, and a private message to the Doge giving a Scandal score change between -1 and 2, inclusive. The sum of all relevant Response-changes to Scandal which are sent to the Doge within the same Season of the posting of the Rumour then accrues to the Scandal of the Rumour’s subject, though this accrual is not effective until the next time the Doge stages a Masquerade. If it is Season 8 or later theny any Elector my remove this paragraph from the ruleset.

For any Rumour made in Season 7 or later, each Elector may then make a Response, where a Response must comprise of both of the following elements: a public statement (made in a comment to the Rumour Post) setting out briefly what their response to the Rumour will be, and a private message to the Doge giving a either a Scandal score change between -2 and 5, inclusive, or a Power score change of -1. The sum of all relevant changes to Scandal or Power arising from a Rumour’s responses which are sent to the Doge within the same Season of the posting of the Rumour then accrues to that Rumour’s subject, though this accrual is not effective until the next time the Doge stages a Masquerade.
