Change the text of the rule “Two-Player Mode” to:
If all Proposals enacted in the previous seven days were made by only two Scribes, and if the current dynasty is at least nine days old, and if one of those Scribes is the Editor, then the game is in Two-Player Mode and the other Scribe is the Ineditor. Otherwise there is no Ineditor. If for any reason there would otherwise be more than one Ineditor, the game is not in Two-Player Mode and there is no Ineditor.
The Ineditor may use VETO as a voting icon to cast a Vote on a proposal made by the Editor; when the Ineditor casts a vote of VETO on a Proposal, this renders the Proposal Vetoed.
If the game is in Two-Player Mode, and the Editor hasn’t vetoed any proposals except by the Ineditor in the previous seven days, the string “(other than the Editor)” is ignored in the rule Victory and Ascension.
Summary of Changes:
1) Update “Immoderator” to “Ineditor”.
2) Exclude the first nine days of the dynasty from Two-Player Mode, presuming that new players will want a fair chance to join before it kicks in and preventing the player who won from not repealing the win condition and immediately re-winning.
3) As a safety mechanism, keeping Two-Player Mode from kicking in when only the Editor has passed any proposals
4) Vetoed proposals by third players block the Editor’s ability to win; this removes an incentive for the editor to deliberately veto otherwise good proposals to keep the game in Two-Player Mode.
