Create a new RED dynastic rule entitled “Arrest Buttle! (Or was it Tuttle?)” with text as follows:

Any Citizen may be accused of belonging to one of the groups enumerated in subrules of the rule “We Are Not Alone.” The accusing Citizen must post a story post stating one or more accusations of a single Citizen, but for the purposes of resolution, each accusation is treated separately. Once a Citizen has been accused, that Citizen may confirm their membership by posting a comment containing only a FOR vote and the name of the group or deny their membership by posting a comment containing only an AGAINST vote and the name of the group. Only the first such comment will be counted. Failure to respond to an accusation with 72 hours results in the Citizen having implicitly confirmed membership in the group.

All subsequent accusation posts made by a Citizen while they have an unresolved accusation will be ignored. If a Citizen is terminated as a result of having made a false accusation, all subsequent accusations made by that Citizen shall be ignored for a week thereafter.

Create a subrule to “Arrest Buttle! (Or was it Tuttle?)” entitled “Mistakes? We don’t make mistakes.” with text as follows:

If a Citizen is correctly accused of belonging to a group and confirms membership in that group, the accusing Citizen has done great work and is awarded -5 treason points by the High-Programmer. The accused Citizen is considered rather treasonous but contrite and is given 2 treason points by the High-Programmer and stripped of his membership in that group. The accusation is then resolved.

Create a subrule to “Arrest Buttle! (Or was it Tuttle?)” entitled “If you have any complaints which you’d like to make, I’d be more than happy to send you the appropriate forms.” with text as follows:

If a Citizen is correctly accused of belonging to a group and denies membership in that group, the accusing Citizen has had his witch hunt snagged on procedural error and is awarded nothing. The accused Citizen is somehow caught after the investigation is over and is given 4 treason points by the High-Programmer and stripped of his membership in all groups.The accusation is then resolved.

Create a subrule to “Arrest Buttle! (Or was it Tuttle?)” entitled “Information Transit got the wrong man. I got the *right* man.” with text as follows:

If a Citizen is falsely accused of belonging to a group and confirms membership in that group, the accusing Citizen was just doing his job and receives -1 treason point. The accused Citizen is considered quite treasonous and gains 2 treason points, but the High-Programmer may send that Citizen a PM indicating that the Citizen has been given membership in that group. The accusation is then resolved.

Create a subrule to “Arrest Buttle! (Or was it Tuttle?)” entitled “Help, help, I’m being repressed!” with text as follows:

If a Citizen is falsely accused of belonging to a group and denies membership in that group, the accusing Citizen is highly treasonous and the High-Programmer gives him 6 treason points. If the accusing Citizen already has 6 or more treason points, the High-Programmer has the Citizen terminated. The accusation is then resolved.

I’m pretty sure there are some loopholes in there.

It seems like a good idea with some potentially fatal flaws. I like it.  for

One tell if a person way incorrectly accused or correctly accused when they deny based on how many treason points the accuser gains. If he gains 0, then it is thus proven that the accused was, in fact, part of the group he was accused of being in.

Agreed, but it costs a huge amount of treason to try to out someone like that; enough to almost certainly cause death, in fact.

Wakukee:

31-07-2010 22:55:45 UTC

Whoops, thought there wa an if, but there was not. So it is not broken. Still, not crazy about the rule.

However, if you correctly accuse yourself… you get a free -3 treason points. RoV…  against .

Wakukee: That is an issue, however, I would prefer a fix instead of throwing out the whole prop. The worse that happens is a lot of Citizens trade their group membership for 3 Commendations.
