Proposal: Pragmatic Argumentation
Number of Kaiju not voting AGAINST is less than Quorum. Failed by Brendan.

Add a subrule to “Alliances” called “Nemeses”:-
Each Kaiju may have a Nemesis, being another Kaiju (or idle Kaiju), and this is tracked privately by the Attendant. Kaiju have no Nemeses by default, and being a Nemesis is not automatically reciprocal. If a Kaiju has no Nemesis, it may select one by sending a private message to the Attendant to this effect.
When the Attendant calls a meeting of the Kaiju Court, every Kaiju who has a higher Prestige than their Nemesis gains 5 Prestige, and every Kaiju who has a lower Prestige than their Nemesis gains 1 Lab Token. (If a Kaiju’s Nemesis is Idle or not a Kaiju or if the Kaiju has the same Prestige as their Nemesis, nothing happens.)
Sound the Cannons, but with the “loss” value actually a gain of its own.
I’m still anti the “every Kaiju who has a higher Prestige than their Nemesis gains 5 Prestige” clause, as it just means that every player except the weakest will gain 5 Prestige each turn, and the weakest will only get 1 token. The model where the players get a bonus reward for being in a materially stronger position anyway is just not good, to my mind.
