Amend the rule The Masquerade to read as follows:

As a weekly action, the Doge should stage a Masquerade by posting a blog entry, which must contain each of the following elements:

* A list of the unique values that exist for Electors’ Secret Factions, including how many are “-”.
* A list of the unique values that exist for Electors’ Political Power
* The names of any Electors who have accrued (or lost) Mistrust since the last Masquerade, and the net change in value for each of those Electors
* The name of a randomly chosen Elector who will be the Winnower for that Masquerade, and the two Electors chosen to gain or lose Power by the previous Winnower.

They must then enact changes to Mistrust in the gamestate.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Winnowing:

At any time, exactly one Elector is the Winnower. The Winnower is named in Masquerade posts, and each time a new Winnower is named the old Winnower ceases to be such.

When a Winnower is named, all Electors whose Faction is the same as the Winnower’s gain 1 Political Power, and all Electors whose Secret Faction is the same as the Winnower’s gain 2 Political Power.

If they haven’t done so since the most recent Masquerade, each Elector may privately message the Doge stating their Mistrust of the Winnower, as a numerical value between -1 and 2, inclusive. That Mistrust accrues to the Winnower that week.

If they haven’t done so since the most recent Masquerade, the Winnower may name two other Electors: one who will gain 5 Political Power, and one who will lose 2 Political Power. These will be publicly named.

The admin who enacts this proposal must randomly select an Elector to be the first Winnower and must announce the result in a blog post.
