Set the special case rule Imperial Deferentials to active.

Add the following to the end of the second paragraph of the rule The Elective Monarchy:

Political Power may be gifted or traded freely.

Add a new rule to the ruleset, called Ethics of the Nobility:

No Elector is under any obligation to uphold any promise made in public or in private at any time.

Each Elector has a value for Mistrust, which is an integer that is publicly tracked and which defaults to zero. A positive value for Mistrust denotes an aggregate lack of trust, while a negative value for mistrust denotes the opposite.

At any time, any Elector may send the Doge a Rumour by private message, outlining an offence that has been carried out against them (where an offence is a betrayal, a breach of trust, a broken promise, or similar) and naming the Elector who carried it out. The Doge must then, at their earliest opportunity, post it to the blog as a Rumour Post (in the story post category), anonymising the names of the originator of the Rumour and its subject but including them as a sha256 hash.

Each Elector may then make a Response, where a Response must comprise of both of the following elements: a public statement (made in a comment to the Rumour Post) setting out briefly what their response to the Rumour will be, and a private message to the Doge giving a Mistrust score change between -1 and 2, inclusive.

At any time, the two Electors with the highest Mistrust are Candidates; their Political Heft is always considered to be zero.

Add the following to the end of the rule The Masquerade:

They should also disclose for each Elector the net change in their Mistrust that has accrued over the week, and then enact that change in gamestate tracking.
