BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Add a new rule called “Umbrage”

As a weekly action, a Nobleman (known as the Accuser) may Take Umbrage by making a story post to the blog titled “Umbrage: *name*” where *name* is the name of another Nobleman (known as the Accused). The post should outline the offence the Accused has taken against the Accuser. Such a post is known as a Royal Complaint.

The Accused may make one reply to this post defending themselves against these accusations. The Accuser may in turn make a reply of their own, and then the Accused may make one final reply.

If neither the Accused nor the Accuser has responded in the last 24 hours, or all three replies have already been made, the Royal Complaint is said to be Awaiting Judgement

If a Royal Complaint is Awaiting Judgement, Louis XIV may issue a ruling by doing one of the follow and making a comment on the Royal Complaint declaring which option they pick:
* They may side with the Accuser, in which case the Accuser gains one power and the Accused lose one power (or has their power remain at zero if its already zero)
* They may side with the Accused, in which case the Accused gains one power and the Accuser lose one power (or has their power remain at zero if its already zero)
* They may decide both sides are at fault, in which case the Accused and the Accuser both lose one power (or have their power remain at zero if its already zero)
* They may decide both sides have merit, in which case nothing happens

In any case, the Royal Complaint then ceases to be Awaiting Judgement.

If a Royal Complaint is Awaiting Judgement for more than one week, it ceases to be Awaiting Judgement and is as if Louis XIV decided both sides have merit
