Add a new Dynastic rule, called Cycles:
At 00:01 UTC on Thursday 2 September 2021, the first Cycle of the dynasty will begin. Each Cycle is 72 hours long, and the number of the current Cycle and the time at which the Cycle will next change is publicly tracked.
A Cyclical Action is an action that can only be taken once per cycle.
For the purposes of this dynasty, the current-dynasty channel of the BlogNomic Discord may also be used for public discussion of the dynasty, as per the rule No Collaborations [Active] [ Rare].
Add a new rule called Communications:
As a Cyclical Action, a Cell may create a Communication and send it to the Ministry of Information, and no other recipients. Communications may be sent to the Ministry of Information via the DM functionality at blognomic.com or by DM on the BlogNomic Discord.
The body of a Communication must contain the following elements: a list of Intended Recpients, which must be a list of names of other Cells; a list of Restricted Recipients, which must be a list of names of other Cells; and a Message, which may be up to 300 characters of text without images.
Each Cycle, for each Communication that they received in the previous Cycle, the Minsitry of Information must carry out the following atomic action:
* Review it against the list of Censorship Terms. For each word or string of words that matches a Censorship Term, replace it with the following: “█x█” where x is the number of characters in the censored term.
* Send the censored message to all Cells on the Intended Recipients list via the BlogNomic DM function.
Add a new subrule to the rule Communications, called Censorship Terms:
This rule contains the list of Censorship Terms against which each Communication must be assessed. Censorship terms may be identified in Communications despite being mispelled, or converted into a different part of speech (eg a verb being turned into an adverb).
* The name of any Cell.
* Links to other sites.
* Strings of characters that the Ministry of Information suspects are, contain, or comprise parts of codes or ciphers.
