In the rule “Pens”, replace “Any Student with a Purple pen is known as a Prefect. At any time, no more than one Student may possess a Purple pen. The Professor has a special Pen which, while not Purple for the purposes of the ruleset, can write in Purple ink.” with:-

• Any Student with a Purple pen is known as an Aesthete.
• Any Student with a Blue pen is known as a Prefect. If more than one Student is a Prefect, then all Blue pens are immediately replaced with Black ones.

Replace the second paragraph of the “Prefectures” rule with:-

If at any time there is no Prefect, the Professor may change any Student’s Pen Colour to Blue by making a story post to that effect. This Student may respond in a comment to that Post specifying their plans and priorities for their Prefecture.

And replace its fourth paragraph with:-

If a Student has been a Prefect for more than 7 days, any Student may set that Student’s Pen Colour to Black. The Professor should then, at their first opportunity, make a story post giving the former Prefect a grade, expressed as a percentage score, for their Prefecture. If the score is higher than 75%, the Student Scores.

Rename the rule to “

 Prefectures”.

In the rule “Trading”, after “and if both the Trader and Tradee have a Pen Colour,” add:-

and if neither pen is Blue,

Set a random non-Idle Student’s Pen Colour to Blue.

Switching Prefects from Purple to the non-die-rollable Blue, which makes things easier. Also dropping the fiddly Professorial selection rules (at one Prefect a week, we’ll be lucky if even half of us ever get a Blue pen), adding a what-actually-happens for weird cases where we have two Blue pens (such as a Prefect idling and returning), and banning the swapping of Prefect-coloured pens.
