Add the following as a subrule to the rule entitled ‘Resources’, called Opprobrium :
Each player additionally has a non-negative statistic, called Opprobrium, which is tracked in the GNDT but is not considered to be a resource. It defaults to zero.
A Player’s Opprobrium is the measure of how unpopular they are with the population of Blogia and the extent to which the population will act to oppose their victory. Whenever a Player’s Opprobrium is greater than 5, any other Player may reduce it by 5 and reduce that Player’s Councilmen by 1, their Marines by 2 or their Power by 5, provided that this does not leave any Player’s Resources with an illegal value.
In the rule entitled ‘Cycle Resolution’, after the sentence that concludes “but not how any Players specifically Directed their Resources,”, add the following:
However, for each Institution, the Net must detail the sum of the difference in quantity between the Legions and Credits Directed by the Player who Influenced that Institution and whichever Player allocated the next greatest amount of each Resource (without identifying those Players). This statistic is referred to as the Institution’s Disproportionality. If the Disproportionality of an Institution would be less than zero, it is instead zero.
In the rule entitled ‘Institutions’, after the sentence that reads: ‘When a Player Influences an Institution, they lose all Resources they Directed at it that Cycle,” add:
They must also, while gaining the benefits of Influencing the Institution as detailed above, gain Opprobrium equal to that Institution’s Disproportionality for the current Cycle, divided by 2 and rounded down.
Add the following as a subrule to the rule entitled ‘Directions’, called False Flags:
when issuing Directions to the Net, a Player may opt not to allocate any resources to any Institutions, and instead specify that they wish to undertake a False Flag operation. If they do so, then they must specify another player and an institution, and a quantity of their own Marines or Credits. If a Player issues a False Flag Direction then they may not issue any further Directions in that cycle; any further Directions submitted must be ignored by the Net.
When Resolving the Cycle, the Net must add any Marines or Credits allocated under a False Flag direction to the allocation of the Player specified in the direction, towards the Institution specified in the direction.
