Add a subrule to the rule Cycles, called New World Order:
This rule contains the only methods by which a Cell can achieve Victory in this dynasty. A Cell may not achieve Victory in this dynasty except by fulfilling one of its stipulations.
The ways in which a Cell may achieve Victory are as follows:
*Collaborator Victory: A Cell has achieved Victory if it has an Ideological Proximity with the Ministry of Information of 2 or more, and every other Cell is either Hot, has no Adherents, or has never had a published Most Wanted score above 5.
*Revolutionary Victory: A Cell has achieved Revolutionary Victory if it has an Ideological Proximity with the Ministry of Information of 1 or less, and the effect of the Colonial Palace building has been triggered at a time when that Cell was a Leader.
If Proposal: Shredder Party was enacted, add the following to the list of Buildings in the rule Buildings, in alphabetical order:
* Colonial Palace [1,000]{Private}
:: Has no effect except as specified by the rule New World Order.
If Proposal: Shredder Party was not enacted, add the following to the list of Secret Buildings in the rule Buildings:
Colonial Palace [1000]: Has no effect except as specified by the rule New World Order.
Add a subrule to the rule Anonymous Tips, entitled Bounties:
The Ministry of Information may, at their discretion, chose to reward an Informant that has made a correct Tip. If they do so they should inform the Informant that they are to be rewarded. Any time a Cell is rewarded, it may chose exactly one of the following rewards:
* Gain 1 Citizen as a new Adherent, without gaining buzz;
* Chose a named Citizen, and learn that Citizen’s Ideology or Adherence;
* Add 50 Progress to the Building of their choiceOnce the awarded Informant has chosen a reward and communicated their choice to the Ministry of Information, the Ministry of Information should update the gamestate accordingly at their earliest convenience.
Remove the text “Non-Leaders cannot achieve victory” from the ruleset.
NB on Most Wanted scores: I’m reserving sub-5 scores for players who don’t appear to be substantively playing. I pinky-promise not to abuse the subjectivity of that to kingmake, but am happy to see that specific provision formalised if needs be.
Mostly because it’s not stuff that affects the gamestate immediately, except for that Bounties thing that I’m not entirely happy about.
Speaking as a member of a small pool of informants,
Madrid:
Im cool with most of it
But I’d prefer something more mechanical than “The Ministry of Information may, at their discretion” for the Rewards. I don’t think this is a case where it needs to be subjective.
