Proposal: Cultist Cabal Action

Reaches quorum 8-0. Enacted by pokes.

Adminned at 24 May 2017 23:53:34 UTC

If the proposal named “Blank Cards Mafia” has not passed, then this proposal causes no effect to the Ruleset’s text content.

Amend “• Cultist:” to:

• Cultist: When a Cultist becomes such, or upon private request to the Expedition Leader for a reminder, the Expedition Leader shall privately communicate to them the Secret Creed in a timely fashion.

Add to “Backgrounds” the following:

The Secret Creed contains one number and five words. For example: “13, copper explain ill-fated truck neat”. The content of the Secret Creed is privately tracked by the Expedition Leader.

Upon enactment of this Proposal, the Expedition Leader shall secretly randomly generate the number (between 0 and 100) and the five words for the Secret Creed. The Expedition Leader may re-roll any of these rolled values if they get a result that they consider ill-suited for play. The Secret Creed’s content then becomes that number and those words.

Allows Cultists to attempt to find other Cultists in a cool way.

By the way, it seems like a good idea to add a Copper mechanic, don’t you think? I think the default value for it should be 13.

(It’s a bit of a caricature of how the mechanic would work but such a message wouldn’t mean anything to everyone else, unless you knew what the Secret Creed was, which all Cultists do. In which case, you’d go “OOOH. Cuddlebeam is a Cultist too!” and perhaps conspire with me. Or, you’re not a Cultist and you’ve got the task of being a detective to try to find these Cultists trying to find each other with weird words. And if you do, you could try to bait these Cultists out and earn secret information.)
