If the proposal here: https://blognomic.com/archive/votes_and_power does not pass, this proposal does nothing

Add a new dynastic rule called “Bribes” and give it the following text

An Elector (The Briber) may Offer a Bribe. To do so, they send a private message to the Doge specifying a pending voteable matter (the Subject), a positive amount of Political Power (the Offer), the name of another Elector (the Target), and a legal vote on that voteable matter indicating how they want the Target in to vote on the matter in question (the Request).

The Doge should Process Bribe offers, in the order they arrive, at their earliest convenience. To Process a Bribe they do the following as an atomic action:

1) If the Subject is no longer pending, stop processing the bribe
2) If the Briber’s Political Power is less than the Offer, stop processing the bribe
3) Reduce the Briber’s political power by the Offer
4) Send a private message to the Target, mentioning the Subject, The Offer, and the Request, but *not* the name of the Briber
5) At this point, the Bribe is considered to be Pending and the atomic action is over.

A Bribe remains Pending until the Subject is resolved. When it is resolved, if the Target’s Vote on the voteable matter matches the Offer, they gain the amount of political power equal to the Offer. Otherwise the Briber gains political power equal to the Offer.
