Rule 1664/29 (Power=2)
Rebellion
A Call for Revolt is a notice submitted by a player (the
Agitator) which alleges, roughly, that the current government is
corrupt, oppressive and self-serving, that rather than watching
over the people it is watching the people, that action must be
taken, and furthermore asserts that we do not need a key,
because we can break in. The Call is valid only if:
(a) the Agitator was rebellious when e submitted the Call;
(b) no other Call has been made during the same week; and
(c) no Revolt has been successful for the previous thirty days.
As soon as possible after a valid Call for Revolt has been
submitted, the Registrar shall perform the following events in
order:
(a) select a random integer from 1 to the number of players
(plus 1 if a player bears Miscreant);
(b) if the selected number is less than or equal to the number
of rebellious players (plus 1 if a rebellious player bears
Miscreant), then:
(1) announce that the Revolt succeeds;
(2) expunge the blots of each rebellious player;
(3) grant the ephemeral patent title Rebel Hero to each
rebellious player;
(4) set the initiative of each abiding player to Goethe, and
return all stock cards held by abiding players to the
Deck;
(5) retire each abiding electee from office; and
(6) flip each rebellious player's orthodoxy to abiding;
otherwise:
(1) announce that the Call for Revolt has failed;
(2) assess each rebellious player 2 blots; and
(3) assess the Agitator an additional 2 blots.
The effects of a Call for Revolt shall be based on the orthodoxy
of players at the time the Call was submitted.
The Registrar shall notify the Herald of all blots gained or
expunged as a result of this rule, and is empowered to perform
the actions this rule would require em to perform.
