Proposal: Cashing in rewards

Fails 2-5. — Quirck

Add as a subrule to “Artifacts”

A cult leader may, by command, specify a number of artifacts belonging to his cult to trade in and a list of Believers belonging to his cult.  As long as the number specified is a positive integer, greater than 0 and less or equal to the number of artifacts owned by the cult, he succeeds at doing so.  Upon a successful trade, each Believer on the list will receive one Insight for every item divided by the number of believers, rounded up.  (e.g. 3 artifacts with 3 believers, each would receive 1 insight).

Appeasing the masses, and encouraging believers to help get more artifacts.  Also giving mechanisms for leaders to manipulate their pawns (wait -what?)

1 artifact, N believers, each receives 1 insight. Repeat as many times as you want. against

against Also debatable whether “trading in” an artifact actually removes it from the Cult’s stockpile.

Rule 2.8.1 already allows a fair version of this mechanic; the Cult Leader simply has to contact each of the Cult’s members saying “there are X artifacts in the Cult pool right now, you may all remove Y each”. (Hopefully it makes things interesting that the Leader has to trust the cultists not to take more than their fair share.)
