Proposal: Cheater!

Add a sub-rule to “Olympic Events” entitled “Cheating”.

An Olympian may attempt to cheat in any Event in which e competes. Cheating is carried out as follows: The Olympian in question rolls a DICE10. This result is the cheat multiplier, X. The Olympian will then roll DICE100. If the result is less than or equal to N*X, where N is the number of times this dynasty the Olympian has attempted to cheat, the Olympian is caught and loses all Medals and 5 popularity. The Olympian may not compete in any events for a week. Otherwise, the cheat is successful. The Olympian rolls a DICE3. If the roll is a 1, e earns a Bronze Medal. If the roll is a 2, e earns a Silver Medal. If the roll is a 3, e earns a Gold Medal. The other two medals are awarded to the first and second place finishers in the actual event.

We have a Cheat rule that gains you TP, but the most common actual cheating in the real world is in an event. This is to reflect that.

Might be better to make it harder to gain gold/silver medals, for example:
The Olympian rolls a DICE10. If the roll is a 1-5, e earns a Bronze Medal. If the roll is a 6-8, e earns a Silver Medal. If the roll is a 9 or 10, e earns a Gold Medal. The other two medals are awarded to the first and second place finishers in the actual event.

But that’s it, I like it otherwise.

Okay, if more people think that, I’ll change it.

Anyway, how does e indicate which event e is cheating for?  When exactly does e make the cheating rolls (during the event?  Most events happen instantaneously, right?  I mean they take actual time to resolve, but in game terms they happen all of a sudden, I think)?  Seems like multiple Olympians can cheat their ways into more medals than are actually available.

against Agree with Hix.  What if everyone cheats on the same event?

against This would mess over the outcome of deciding certain events.
