Proposal: Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them.

Create a subrule to rule 2.11 Doomsday Cult, called “Misinformation”:

As a weekly action, a Cultist may send a PM to the Leader containing the name of a single Survivor and whether or not they want that survivor to appear as a cultist or a non-cultist. When the leader makes that week’s Investigation Results post per rule 2.11.3 Locating the Cult, he must also include the name of the mentioned survivor(s), and state whether they appear to be a cultist or not. It should not be possible for another Survivor to be able to discern between the correct and incorrect results. If there are more Misinformation results than genuine results, the Leader must randomly select Misinformation results, and discard them.He must also do this if there are the same number of each type of result, unless there are only 1 of each (I.E. The results post must have less misinformation than fact, unless there is only one of each).

Remove the following text from Locating the Cult: “; one of those notations (chosen at random by the Leader) must be correct, and for each of the others the Leader must make it correct with a 60% chance, and incorrect with a 40% chance”.

against , given the contradiction that occurs if someone is both investigated and the target of Misinformation.

Intentional. It’s possible for you to hear that someone is a cultist, but then if you watch them, not find any traces of cultist activity. You’d have to make up your own mind.

Also, let’s say I investigate ais, and ais is a cultist. Now let’s pretend ais sends a PM to darth asking to appear as a non-cultist. It’ll be pretty obvious that someone is either framing or protecting ais, allowing for deductions to be made.

against It will be really impossible to glean useful information using these rules.

CoV against  Suppose ais asks to appear as a non-cultist, and, say, Qwaz asks for him to appear as a cultist.

If I s/k and repropose with the duplicate fix, will you vote for?

No, there’s another problem. Using the ais example, here’s what the post would look like:

ais523: Cultist

ais523 does not appear to be a cultist.

It should not be possible for another Survivor to be able to discern between the correct and incorrect results.

This should be more directly specified. Also, per Qwaz.
