So, it looks like infractions cause blots to appear at the time of Investigation, not at the time of noting nor the time of the crime, which means that, potentially, players can win by cheating, then get the blots after they win. A simple (yet dangerous) retroactive text addition follows: would this fix it?
This is a very common discussion, and in fact sparked some Discord discussion that I wanted to bring to the list. Retroactive blots are messy because they don't just impact winning but also voting strength. Other potential solutions include a timer, illegal actions preventing wins (which is similar to retroactive, but with a bit less recalculation to do), and the current system of just hoping nobody intentionally cheats to win because that's very rude.
