In the rule “Crime & Commerce” add a new subrule named “Accusations” and give it the following text:
This rule is flavour text.
Event Type Name: Accusation
Creation Conditions: No other Accusation is Open, post title must start with the text “Accusation:” or “[Accusation]”. Post body must contain exactly one Machinist’s name.
Response Format: Method of voting here
Ending Condition: 48 hours since post creation
Ending Action: Vote counting and placing Machinist in Lockdown here.
Outlining the basic structure of an Event to put someone in Lockdown. I added a flavour text guardrail while the rule is still missing important parts, but it should be removed as soon as the rule has enough detail to be functional. 383 characters.

Given the mild chaos the last time we used Events (where players got the tags or comment formats very slightly wrong and invalidated the whole thing), I think the rule needs an overhaul or a repeal. It really needs to be much simpler and more foolproof keyword (so that we can just write “Accusation is a Voting Event with the outcome of Locking Down a chosen Machinist” or “Bribing is a Auction Event, spending Gold, with the outcome of gaining access to the Castle”) and it’s just not that, we always have to write pretty much the whole thing.
If we’re heading towards a straight 48-hour majority vote to Lock someone Down, we could just add a cautionary “players are encouraged to make proposals putting others into Lockdown, if they feel they deserve it” kind of clause to the ruleset.
