Proposal: Drats
I was so ready to exploit this up as soon as the queue cleared, but I just got called to another three day conference, so in the interests of not having the Dynasty end before I get back I'll tell you what I was going to do, and how to stop it.
Wait until the queue is cleared.
Propose 6 (4 if you're not me) proposals containing kickbacks. Immediately self fail while identifying the kickbacks. Note that I snuck in a Trivial which prevents other people from immunizing themself by exposing after you self-fail.
Admin these proposals, which generates 6/4 Scandals for ALL Lords (you are the proposer, no other Lord exposed the kickback).
Immediately Scandal yourself 4 times. Your confidence should be pretty close to zero. Elect not to transfer EV from yourself.
Scandal all the other Lords repeatedly, transferring EV whenever possible. This will allow you to steal, effectively, every EV in the game as long as you stay within limits. Ideally, you'd be in a two-man party with a mechanism for transferring EV to your mate (to keep him within 3 of you). A Protocol could be used to swap EV around to keep you within limits, if necessary, or you could take advantage of the one-time offer in Electoral Gain. A Protocol to allow me to be Speaker of the NDP was crucial to my planned exploit.
Immediately do two things -- put a proposal on the queue to stop someone from doing this to you. I'd suggest that proposal be "Patio is allowed to declare victory. Repeal rules Scandal, Corruption, and EV Gain. All Lords in the NDP are transferred to the VRWC on passage of this proposal. Signed, all of my electoral votes."
Then request that the PM appoint you to his spot. He has 0 Confidence, you have more than half of the outstanding EV votes in your hands/that of your party if you've done this properly, which means even if he vetoes "I win" proposal you'll steal the Veto from him in 24 hours, when you can pass it again.
Now, what can people do to frustrate you? If there is a Protocol in place allowing EV redirection by an Enforcer other than the Prime Minister(no one has it), they can redirect EV from you to themselves if your Party isn't in on the scam with you. Everyone could quit your Party, rendering you a Maverick, which only entitles you to 1 vote -- but I think the rules would only stop you from moving your EV total again, so this is worthless.
Then, of course, if the PM vetoes your "I win" proposal they can respond by organizing the same scam against you.
Anyhow, here is the proposal. Replace the following language in Scandal :
with
Yes, five little words.
16-0. Reached Quorum (6). Enacted by Chronos.
On that, I went by the spirit of the Proposal and made the alteration to the Corruption rule, instead of the Scandals one.
