This friendly IntSec guard would like to remind all Citizens that in order to maintain harmony, The Computer has decreed that Arrows should be placed before Vote Icons.

Enact a new VIOLET Dynastic Rule called “Treason”:-
Each Citizen has a Treason score, tracked in the GNDT and starting at zero. A Citizen’s Treason may go negative, indicating that the Computer may have some temporary reason to foster the appearance of trust in that Citizen. Whenever a Citizen’s Clearance Level or Clone-Number changes, that Citizen’s Treason score is reset to zero.
Whenever the High-Programmer makes a blog post, he may assign any number of Commendations and Treason Points to Citizens (with a maximum of one Commendation and one Treason Point per Citizen), in the flavour text of that blog post. A Citizen who earns a Commendation has their Treason score reduced by one; the Citizen who earns a Treason Point has their Treason score increased by one - these modifications may be made by the High-Programmer within one hour of the post.
If a blog post is Treasonous and no Citizen has made an Accusation in its comments, any Citizen may make an Accusation by posting a comment to that post with the word “TREASON” in capital letters, and increasing the Treason score of the blog post’s author by one.
If a Citizen’s Treason score is -6 or lower, they may increase their Clearance Level by one level. If a Citizen’s Treason score is 6 or more, any Citizen with a higher Clearance Level may Terminate them by posting a blog post announcing such an action.
To the Rule “Clones”, add:-
Termination causes the Terminated Citizen to die in an efficient and hygienic manner.
In the Rule “Information Clearance”, replace “No Citizen may Author a Proposal that Creates, Modifies, or Repeals a Dynastic Rule with a clearance higher than their own.” with:-
If there is a way in which a pending Proposal could - if enacted - create, modify or repeal a Dynastic Rule whose Clearance Level is higher than the Clearance Level of the Citizen who submitted the Proposal, then that Proposal is Treasonous.
Defining and classifying the nature of the High-Programmer’s generous and thoughtful Commendations and Treason Points, spelling out their ultimate consequences, and clarifying for internal security purposes that the authoring of an out-of-clearance proposal is theoretically possible, yet clearly treasonous.
