Change the rule “The Council”:
Blogia is governed by the Council of Twelve, whose allegiances may be swayed by the Players. If the total Councilmen of all Players is equal to 12, then no Player’s Councilmen may be increased by the effect of an Institution. (If the total Councilmen of all Players is ever greater than 12, then any Player may invoke an Unmasking and remove one Councilman from every Player who has at least one Councilman.) The total number of Councilmen will be tracked in the GNDT in the “Councilmen†field of the Net.
To read:
Blogia is governed by the Council of Twelve, whose allegiances may be swayed by the Players. If the total Councilmen of all Players is equal to 12, then no Player’s Councilmen may be increased by the effect of an Institution. (If the total Councilmen of all Players is ever greater than or equal to 12, then any Player may invoke an Unmasking and remove one Councilman from every Player who has at least one Councilman.) The total number of Councilmen will be tracked in the GNDT in the “Councilmen†field of the Net.
Don’t know if this is correct form, I’m basically changing it to read “If the total Councilmen of all Players is ever greater than or equal to 12, then any Player may invoke an Unmasking” because you can only invoke an Unmasking if there are more than 12 councilmen but it is impossible to have more than 12 councilmen.
It also guards against unidling players returning with Councilmen. It was just meant a way to resolve weird edge cases, not to be a commonly useful mechanic.
Murphy:
The clause in question makes sense in its current form. It guards against both of the following hypothetical cases:
1) There are 11 councilmen; an institution creates 2 more councilmen
2) There are 12 councilmen; something other than an institution creates 1 more councilman
