Viva la Resistance

Create and blank a wiki page entitled “Members of the Resistance”.

Enact a new rule entitled “The Resistance”:

Any member may be part of the Resistance, irregardless of their recorded loyalty in the GNDT. Members of the resistance are tracked in the “Members of the Resistance” wiki page.

At any point when there are 3 or more seditious Oligarch, any seditious Oligarch may post a story post with “General Assembly” in the title, as long as no other such post is still “Unresolved” or has been posted in the past 48 hours. In this post, the seditious leader may nominate any seditious Oligarch to be the “Head of the Resistance”. If, at any point after this post is published, there are a majority of FOR votes from seditious Oligarchs, this post becomes “Resolved” and the nominated Oligarch becomes the Head of the Resistance, losing any office they are holding (if any), and have their office set to “R. Leader”. If there has not been a majority vote after 48 hours, this post becomes automatically “Resolved” with no effect. Once a post has become “Resolved” any Oligarch may edit the story post title to reflect this.

As soon as there is a “Head of the Resistance”, that Oligarch shall be given sole access to the wiki page “Members of the Resistance”, and may give out access to this page as they please. Only the Head of Resistance may edit this page, and they may only add the names of Oligarchs who have given them written permission. The only exception to this rule, is that, any Oligarch who is added to the “Members of the Resistance” must record some kind of affirmation in the wiki that they are aware and desire to be part of the Resistance next to their name.

If, at any point, the “Head of Resistance” is removed from office or the Despot is overthrown, the wiki page is blanked, and access is given to the new “Head of Resistance” (or is held in a blank state until a new Head of Resistance is elected.)

Once per week, the Despot may story post with “J’accuse” included in the title, in which they may accuse a single Oligarch, who they have not already successfully accused, of being part of the Resistance (other than the “Head of the Resistance”). In response to this post, the “Head of the Resistance” must make a response in the comments indicating if the Despot is correct (an Oligarch whose name is legitimately on the “Members of the Resistance” wiki) in their accusation or not (otherwise).  If the Despot is correct, the Despot gains 100 power. Otherwise, the Despot loses 100 power. If it can be proven that the Head of the Resistance made a false response to the Despot, the Head of the Resistance is immediately removed from power, is exiled, and the Despot gains 200 power.

 

This post assumes that the wiki access requirements needed by this proposal are possible. The wiki is necessary to have some ability to make sure rule that involve members of the resistance can be upheld. Also, Oligarchs should be able to be a part of the resistance without needing the Despots “approval”. The once per week restriction on accusations is in place to (a) give the Resistance time to respond and figure out who their traitor is and (b) to prevent the Despot from decimating the resistance as soon as they have an inside Oligarch. This is hopefully balanced by the potential 100 power.

Not a proposal… Also I have no idea how we would make it so only some people can see the page. If that is possible then I am unaware of the method.

1) Not a Proposal
2) So many moving parts for what gain? This feels more like a minigame than an integrated structure.
3) Such secrecy is hard to guarantee, especially with such weighty chunks of Power at stake.

I was planning on integrating some of your demand mechanics into it, but mostly the goal was to allow anyone to be part of the resistance which currently isn’t possible given that Josh controls who is seditious and who is not
