It might, however, be a good idea to close off even this theoretical
possibility via some sort of global expungement mechanism (e.g.
reintroduce Solitude as a victory condition and have it do a global
expunge during the cleanup).
Going way back, my favorite method for this was for the criminals to Rebel:
Rule 1664/20 (Power=2)
Rebellion
A Rebellious player may Call for a Revolt at any time by
publicly announcing e does so. A Call for Revolt is only
effective if no other Call for Revolt has been made that week
and no successful Revolt has occurred for a month or more.
As soon as possible after an effective Call for Revolt has been
posted, the Registrar must determine whether the Revolt
succeeds, as outlined below, and publicly announce the result.
The Registrar shall select a random integer from 1 to the number
of players (plus 1 if Miscreant is Borne). If this number is
less than or equal to the number of Rebellious players (plus
1 if Miscreant is Borne by a Rebellious player), then the
Revolt succeeds; otherwise it fails. All numbers used in this
calculation are determined at the time of the Call for Revolt.
If a Revolt succeeds, then the following events occur in order:
- The Registrar shall expunge the Blots of each Rebellious
player
- The Registrar shall pay out 8 Stems to each Rebellious
player
- The GWotO shall remove all Abiding Oligarchs from the
Oligarchy
- Each Abiding player that is the Electee to an Office is
retired from that Office.
- All Rebellious players become Abiding again
- The Registrar shall levy a 75% Indulgence tax. For this
levy, the Bearor of the Patent Title "Robespierre" is
tax-exempt.
- A Speaker Transition occurs
- Any Indulgence Auction in progress is cancelled
If a Revolt does not succeed, then:
- All Rebellious players gain 2 Blots.
- The player who Called for Revolt gains 2 (additional) Blots
The effects of a Call for Revolt shall be based on the Political
Status, Oligarchy membership, and Indulgence holdings of players
at the time of the Call.
The Registrar shall notify the Herald of all Blots gained or
expunged as a result of this Rule.
