Add a subrule to rule 2.5 stating:
An Olympian who received a silver or bronze medal for an event may attempt to get the gold or silver medal, respectively, for that event:
E may attempt to talk the judges into thinking that e was the real winner of the medal. To do so e makes a wit roll. If the outcome is greater than 9(X - 1) (where X is the average wit of all Olympians), e successfully talks the judge into giving em the higher medal (gold if e won silver, silver if e won bronze).
E may instead attempt a slight of hand, switching the medals without the other Olympian seeing or noticing. The Olympian trying to get the higher medal makes a dexterity roll, and the Olympian e is trying to steal from makes a dexterity and wit roll. If the thieving Olympian’s roll is greater than the victim’s, e steals the medal and replaces it with eir own.
Each of these attempts cost 3 TP to make, and must be made within 24 hours of having eir medal awarded. Only the Olympians who were originally awarded the silver or bronze medal may try to do this, and may only try it once. E must pick which method to try, and may not try the other if it fails. Eir target may only be the holder of the medal that is just higher than eir own (Gold if e won silver, silver if e won bronze). If E attempts to take the medal from someone not on the Team, e may only attempt the first method. If eir attempt fails, the Olympian forfeits eir medal to eir prospective victim, loses 5 popularity points, and, if eir target was on the Team, e may not participate in an event for a week.
In the case that the winner of the silver method successfully gains the gold medal, and the winner of the bronze medal has not yet attempted to take a medal for that event, eir target, should e choose to attempt it, would be the original winner of the gold medal (who now has the silver medal).
If the attempt is successful, e switches medals with eir target for that event. TP is awarded for the event based on the new winners of the medals, and any TP that was already awarded for the event is taken away.
