Enact a new rule, “Hoodwinking”:-
An Elector may be Hoodwinking any number of other Electors (including idle Electors), and defaults to Hoodwinking none of them. This status is tracked privately by the Doge, and an Elector may change who (if anyone) they are Hoodwinking by private messaging the Doge to this effect.
If it is ever the case that a Secret Faction has exactly two Electors, and that one of them (the Hunter) is Hoodwinking the other (the Quarry) but the Quarry is not Hoodwinking the Hunter, and that a Trap has never been Sprung by the Hunter on the Quarry before, then the Doge should Spring the Trap on the Quarry by the Hunter: this reduces the Quarry’s Political Power by 5 (to a minimum of zero) and increases the Hunter’s Political Power by 5. After doing so, the Doge should inform the Hunter that they have successfully Hoodwinked this particular Quarry, and record this event in his Diary.
Enact a new rule, “The Diary”:-
The Doge maintains a secret Diary of unseen game events, recorded as a private Excel file. Whenever an event is recorded in it, the Doge should record its time and date, and the nature of the event and all Electors involved in it. The Doge is expected to publish his Diary’s contents in public after the dynasty has ended.
If the proposal “Reversing the Polarity” enacted, remove “(to a minimum of zero)” from the Hoodwinking rule.
A betrayal mechanic. Persuade or trick another Elector into meeting you alone (being in a Secret Faction that has no other members), and you can frame that meeting as something that it isn’t, in the eyes of the world, perhaps without your victim ever realising.
Josh: he/they
Can it be an excel file rather than a text file? As that’s what I’m currently using and it works better for me.
