Proposal: The Cabaal

Timed out and passed, 7-1 with 5 unresolved DEFs. Josh

Adminned at 16 Apr 2011 01:33:10 UTC

Change the text of rule “Conspirators? Where?!” to the following:

Some Sheep are Conspirators. When a Conspirator idles, that (idle) Sheep ceases to be a Conspirator upon their de-idling. If at any time there are less than 3 Conspirators, the Chairsheep may secretly designate Sheep as Conspirators until there are exactly 3 Conspirators. The Chairsheep shall privately notify each new Conspirator of their new status, but shall not notify any Conspirator as to the identity of any other Conspirator.

The Conspirator with the most Baabucks is the Don. In case of a tie, there is no Don.

Removing the (now obsolete) initial assignments, adding a mechanic for assigning new Conspirators when old ones idle, and adding the unofficial position of the Don.

imperial I like it, although I’m not sure what the role of the Don is for, and am mildly offended that this assumes that Crimes is going to fail ^_^

Oops, for some reason I was under the impression that the proposal that defined the Don role had already failed. Ah well, we can always rename or remove this version, if Crimes passes.

So they are a conspirator while idle? If all three idle, there wont be any, if none de-idle?

Roujo: he/him

[Chivalrybean] That’s also my interpretation. =P

Idle players aren’t players any more, so they stop being Conspirators or Sheep or Officials or anything else as soon as they become idle.

Oh, what if there is a tie for most Baabucks?  Who’s the Don then?

“In case of a tie, there is no Don.”

against How would we know who is the Don?  Even the Don wouldn’t know that he’s the Don.

Winner: thus is the fate of bureaucracies.

I don’t understand the sentence:

When a Conspirator idles, that (idle) Sheep ceases to be a Conspirator upon their de-idling.

So a Sheep is still a Conspirator when they idle, but they cease to be a Conspirator when they de-idle?
