Although (and it’s a problem from the original) Machinating doesn’t specify a method by which it’s carried out, given that political power is a secret variable held by me

Isn’t it covered by “any alteration of that gamestate as a result of an Elector’s action is (and can only be) applied by editing that data in that place”? I only gave it a name to make it unambiguous that it was an action rather than a limitation.

@Kevan Only legally! If I’m holding that secret data then this is tacitly making it my job to keep track of when a player Machinates, as no-one else can edit it where it’s held, and they’re not required to notify me of when they’ve machinated, so… How?

Ah, I didn’t notice it was secret. That does need fixing, then.

Probably should instead make it so that, as part of the masquerade, Lady Pettegola makes a single post outlining all the rumors made during the previous season.

That way we don’t get rumors made with 2 hours to spare.

Er, worth noting that “at any time” occurs three times in “Ethics of the Nobility,” though, and not all the replacements make sense.

Hm. Sorry Kevan but - between Brendan’s concerns, and Clucky’s and my own re. secret data reliant actions, this might need another pass.
