Part 1:
If there is a rule entitled “Roles”, add a subrule entitled “Functions of Roles” with text as follows:
Certain Roles have certain powers associated with them. Unless expressly specified below, a power associated with a Role may only be exercised while the lights are on and while the Guest exercising that power is not Dormant. The powers that are associated with particular Roles are cumulative with actions that a Guest may otherwise take.
Cook. The Cook exercises lordly authority over the Kitchen. If the Cook is in the Kitchen then, as a daily action, the Cook may “expel” all non-Servants from the Kitchen. In this case, “expel” means that the Cook causes each affected Guest who is in the Kitchen to be moved to a Room selected by the Cook to which that Guest could have voluntarily moved (including, in the case of each affected Dormant Guest, a Room to which that Guest could have voluntarily Moved if that Guest were not Dormant), whereupon each such affected Guest may not return to the Kitchen for 24 hours.
Admiral. The Admiral is blessed with nerves of steel. Whether or not the lights are on, if at any time the Admiral becomes Stunned, the Admiral may change his state from Stunned to Healthy.
Film Director. The Film Director is a keen observer of human behavior. Once every 48 hours, if the Film Director is in a room with at least two other Guests, the Film Director may contact the Executor by private telegram, specifying the names of two other Guests who are in the same room with the Film Director and stating that he is observing them. Following the receipt of that private telegram, the Executor must privately truthfully reply to the Film Director, stating which of those two specified Guests has the lower degree of relation to Lord Cartlesham.
Attorney. The Attorney has a brilliant legal mind. Once every 96 hours, if the Attorney is in the Library (regardless of whether any other Guests are in the Library), the Attorney may contact the Executor by private telegram, specifying the names of two other Guests and stating that he is researching them. Folowing the receipt of that private telegram, the Executor must privately truthfully reply to the Attorney, stating which of those two specified Guests has the lower degree of relation to Lord Cartlesham.
Dowager. The Dowager has a voracious appetite for gossip. Once every 48 hours, the Dowager may contact the Executor by private telegram, stating that she is gossiping. Folowing the receipt of that private telegram, the Executor must privately truthfully reply to the Dowager, naming two Guests specified by the Executor in the Executor’s discretion and stating which of them has the lower degree of relation to Lord Cartlesham.
Aristocrat. The Aristocrat treats his social inferiors with a casual contempt. As a daily action, the Aristocrat may “expel” all non-dormant Servants and Tradesmen from the Room in which the Aristocrat is located. In this case, “expel” means that the Aristocrat causes each affected Guest who is in the relevant Room to be moved to a Room selected by the Aristocrat to which that Guest could have voluntarily moved, whereupon each such affected Guest may not return to the Room from which they were expelled for 24 hours or until the Aristocrat leaves the room, whichever happens first.
Judge. The Judge exercises potent authority over cases that are brought before him. If at any time there is a Crisis where the proposed action is expressly limited to changing the state of a single named Guest (such as a Crisis proposing to change the state of a particular Guest to “Restrained”), then the Judge’s vote counts double with respect to that Crisis.
Physician. The Physician is a gifted healer. If the Physician is in the same room as a Guest who is Wounded (other than the Physician himself), then as a daily action, the Physician may change that Guest’s state to Healthy.
Handyman. The Handyman is frequently called upon to engage in repairs throughout the mansion. If the lights are off, the handyman may still move as if the lights were on.
Part 2: If more than half of the EVCs to this proposal contain the text “Safety on”, then add the following text to the beginning of the “Functions of Roles” subrule:
This sentence may be referred to as the “safety sentence”—this “Functions of Roles” subrule (other than this safety sentence) shall not be given effect until this safety sentence is deleted from the ruleset.
Safety on
