Add a new subrule to the rule entitled Marks, called The Black Mark:
The first time a Job fails, the Mastermind must make a GNDT comment with the names of each of the Crooks involved in that Job, and a roll of DICEn, where n is the number of Crooks in that list. The Crook whose position in that list matches the result of the DICE rules becomes the Undercover Cop.
Thereafter, whenever a Job fails the Mastermind must PM the Undercover Cop with a list of the names of the Crooks involved in that failed Job. The Undercover Cop may then secretly randomly select one of those Crooks, who becomes a Narc.
If the Undercover Cop becomes an Idle Crook, then a new Undercover Cop may be generated as per the first paragraph of this rule. If ever an idle Undercover Cop ceases to be idle, they do not resume the role of Undercover Cop unless there is no active Undercover Cop and there is no other eligible former Undercover Cop who can resume the role; however, each former Undercover Cop is always a Narc.
If ever the Undercover Cop knows that every active Crook is a Narc then they have achieved victory.
I anticipate multiple routes to victory; this is only one, and a pretty challenging one at that.
Narcs will have other impacts as well.
A player achieving victory on the basis of their own “secretly randomly” chosen numbers seems problematic.
And in practice it’s impossible, I suppose, as not every BlogNomic player takes part in the game, so you’ll never collect the whole set.
