Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

If there is no rule called “Enlightenment” create one. Replace the text of the rule “Enlightenment” with
As a weekly action, a Cult’s Leader may attempt an Enlightenment by Command which begins with the text “My brood is most well!â€
Upon processing such Command, the Auspex should deem it successful if the sender’s cult contains less Believers than the average (arithmetic mean) number of Believers in all Cults. Otherwise, the Auspex may deem the Enlightenment unsuccessful.
If the Auspex deems an Enlightenment successful, he should:
* Reply to the Enlightenment with a confirmation of its success; and
* Increase the Blessings of its sender by twice the number of members in their cult.When the Auspex deems an Enlightenment unsuccessful, he should make a blog post exposing the Enlightenment which:
* Names the sender, but not the name or size of their cult; and
* Chastises the sender for their hubris.
Same basic idea as SPC’s post. But two key changes—first, cults can do it weekly rather than people, and secondly in order to “win” your cult’s size has to be less than average. This adds more secrecy as you don’t know how big average is, and also lets us still encourage smaller cults by some other means.
Why encourage small cults? The flavour would seem to encourage the opposite!
