BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

If it is not Season 6 or later, this proposal does nothing

Add a new subrule to the rule Winnowing, called Winnower Elections:

As a Seasonal Action, an Elector can make a Winnower Nomination.

Casting a Winnower Nomination in an Atomic Action with the following steps:

* Make a comment to the most recent Masquerade post, which must contain only the text “Nominating x”, where x is the name of another Elector who has not been named the Winnower at the previous three Masquerades.
* Pay the Nominating Cost. The Nominating Cost is to gain 2 Scandal, multiplied by 2 for every previous Winnower Nomination that the Nominator has made for the Nominee in previous Seasons, plus 1 for every other Elector (excluding the Nominator and the Nominee) in the same Faction as the Nominee.
* Optionally, send an Interpretation to the Doge, which is a DM containing the text “Interpretation: x” where x is the name of an Elector with the same restriction as above.

In the rule The Masquerade, change

Randomly select an Elector who has never been the Winnower (if any such Electors exists), or select a random Elector who is not currently the Winnower (if all Electors have already been the Winnower), and make them the Winnower. Resolve all Disclosures Posts which made since the last Masquerade

to

Evaluate which Elector has received the most Winnower Nominations in the season that has just elapsed, with an Elector’s Interpretation always overriding their public Nomination, breaking any ties secretly and randomly. Make them the Winnower. For each Elector whose Nomination was overridden by an Interpretation, evaluate if the cost for Nominating the Elector named in their Interpretation would be higher than the cost that they paid for their public Nomination; if it would then ensure that the difference is captured as a pending Scandal change to be enacted later in this rule.
