Proposal: Downsizing

[We have 3 different mechanisms for gaining control of an organisation. Let's trim some fat from the ruleset:]

In Rule 11 - The World, remove the paragraph beginning with "An Illuminatus may also attempt to take Control of an Organisation controlled by another Illuminatus..."



Completely remove Rule 11.1 - Hostile Takeovers.



In Rule 19 - Bids for Power, change every instance of the word "Bid" to "Plot". Bids posted before this change goes into effect are considered legal Plots of the same type.

Change the Plot Types to:
  • Plot for Membership. Any Illuminatus may post a "Plot for Membership: [Target Organisation]" If it is successful the Illuminatus must be added to the Supporter List for the target Organisation. This addition must be encrypted if the Illuminatus requests it. If the target Organisation is uncontrolled, this addition must be unencrypted.
  • Plot for Neutralisation. Any Illuminatus may post a "Plot for Neutralisation: [Target Organisation], [Target Illuminatus]". If it is successful, the target Illuminatus must be removed from the Supporter List for the target Organisation.

  • Plot for Control. An Illuminatus who is in the target Organisation's Supporter List may post a "Plot for Control: [Target Organisation]" If it is successful the Illuminatus becomes a controller of that Organisation.

  • Plot for Destabilisation. Any Illuminatus in the target Organisation's Supporter List may post a "Plot for Destabilisation: [Target Organisation], [Target Illuminatus]" If it is successful, if the target Illuminatus controls the target Organisation, e loses control of it and gets added to its Supporter List. If this leaves the Organisation with no controller, the previous controller must unencrypt the encrypted entries in the Organisation's Supporter List.
[I think the word "Plot" fits the theme better.]
Tick Timed out & passed 5-0 (with one abstention). Enacted by smith, 10th of June at 18:40.
