If “The Masked Elector” enacted, remove “When a Winnower is named, all Electors whose Faction is the same as the Winnower’s gain 1 Political Power, and all Electors whose Secret Faction is the same as the Winnower’s gain 2 Political Power.” from the “Winnowing” rule and add the following steps after the second in the Masquerade atomic action:
* Increase by 1 the Political Power of each Elector whose Faction is the same as the Winnower’s, unless that Faction is Prominent.
* Increase by 2 the Political Power of each Elector whose Secret Faction is the same as the Winnower’s.
If “The Masked Elector” failed, replace “When a Winnower is named, all Electors whose Faction is the same as the Winnower’s gain 1 Political Power, and all Electors whose Secret Faction is the same as the Winnower’s gain 2 Political Power.” with:-
When a Winnower is named, all Electors whose Faction is the same as the Winnower’s gain 1 Political Power (unless that Faction is Prominent), and all Electors whose Secret Faction is the same as the Winnower’s gain 2 Political Power.
Adding a more immediate impact to the most-mistrusted house: no Winnower payout for them. (This is, I think, the only reason that Di Fieri is so oversubscribed at present.)
Also moving the Winnower gains into the atomic action, if it exists,
and renaming the (deliberately?) misleadingly-named concept of Prominence to something negative-sounding.
Josh: Mastermind he/they
Not a huge fan of the Prominence change; Prominence is based on the idea of being a Candidate (the precursor-term) being bad, which in turn feeds in from the AA’s positioning of a candidate for the position of powerless Doge being a punishment for being overly suspicious or aggressively, well, prominent - by which I mean, there’s a bit of theme underpinning the idea that prominence is bad, and I like that theme, so here we are.
Won’t vote against based purely on that but still wanted to lodge the objection, in case an alternative can be found in the next hour.
