Arrr, I’ll plunder your ideas, as well as your doubloons!
If the Proposal titled “Rebellious susurrus” passed, this Proposal does nothing.
Create a rule called Mutiny:-
If it hasn’t yet been done that day, a Swashbuckler may declare in a post that e is initiating a Mutiny. Each Swashbuckler may choose to Support or Oppose this Mutiny by posting a comment that includes either a FOR or AGAINST flag respectively, and a mention of their GPS at the time of the comment. The Captain automatically opposes the Mutiny, and is considered to have posted a comment to that effect if e hasn’t actually done so. The Swashbuckler who initiated the Mutiny is considered to have posted a comment Supporting the Mutiny, even if e hasn’t actually done so.
After 24 hours, the Mutiny is resolved as if it were a Duel between a Swashbuckler with the total posted GPS of the Supporting Swashbucklers and another with the total posted GPS of the Opposing Swashbucklers (including the bonus the Captain gets from the Captain’s Orders rule). Since this isn’t a normal Duel, use the following system to determine injuries and other effects of the Dice result.
If either side wins this Duel by 20 or more points, then every Swashbuckler on the other side is given an injury as per the Injury rule. If the either side wins this Duel by 50 or more points, then every Swashbuckler on the other side is moved to Davy Jones’ Locker. In any case, all participating Swashbucklers gain 1 GPS.
If the Supporting side wins, the mutiny is carried out: the Swashbuckler who initiated the Mutiny becomes Captain and the previous Captain loses that position.
This Dynasty shall remain The First Dynasty of Elias IX, no matter which Swashbuckler is currently Captain.
If the Victory rule does not exist, create it. Add the following text to the Victory rule:-
If a Swashbuckler other than Elias IX has been Captain for 3 full days, then e may declare victory at any time.
In the rule Special Motley, remove the line:-
The Captain may add to this list at any time.
(That’s to prevent ‘i win’ special motley items)
The problem I see with this is that there is just one bloodbath, as opposed to a few days of carnage. And no logical Pirate would support a Mutiny as there is nothing in it for themselves.
