Proposal: Coup (Pronounced "coo")

Add a new rule, Coup:

A member of a department, may, at any time, announce a Coup. The declarer, henceforth referred to as the 'AGT', subtracts 20 from his dignity.

Upon announcing the Coup, there will be a vote among the members of the department. All members of the Department will vote as to whether or not they believe that the AGT should ascend to the position of Department Head, and that the CDH will step down. Once you have voted, you may not change your vote.

There are two situations in which a Coup automatically succeeds:
Should the CDH vote Yes to the Coup
OR
If the CDH's Dignity is less than half of the altered value of the AGT's Dignity (that is, after subtracting 20 points).

Should the Coup succeed, the Department head loses 30 Dignity.
Otherwise, the AGT loses an additional 5 dignity for shame in loss, as well as any Team Member who voted.


Also, add to the list of TLAs the following (giving Greth no dignity for their addition):

AGT - Amazingly Gutsy Teamsperson
CDH - Current Department Head

This italicised portion has no effect directly on the rule.
Greth will still obtain the entirety of normal dignity alloted, but none will be granted for the addition of TLAs (as this is non-trival)


AGAINST Failed 2 to 12 by Brendan at 2:03 pm GMT on 6.22.2004. -3 to Greth, +1 to Brendan.
