Proposal: Some useful titles

Append the following to the list of possible 'exceptional titles' in the rule named 'Titles' (the second rule number 17):

Spin Doctor When tallying votes on proposals, if the Illuminatus Rex has not voted on the proposal, or if e has voted 'DEFERENTIAL', then DEFERENTIAL votes shall count the same as the Spin Doctor's votes. The title of Spin Doctor may be bestowed upon any one Illuminatus at any time by the Illuminatus Rex, though that Illuminatus may not have any other Exceptional Title. The title of Sping Docter may be revoked by the Illuminatus Rex at any time. If the Illuminatus Rex is otherwise barred from voting deferential, e is now allowed to do so, so long as there is a Spin Doctor.

R.A. Shea An Illuminatus with this title may use any power of the Illuminatus Rex that does not deal with proposals, though e may not approve powers for organisations that e controls or supports. The Illuminatus Rex may award or revoke this title as e deems fit.

Man of Shadows Sometimes there is a person present in even the tightest of conspiracies that none of the plotters know about, who is often a powerful mover behind the scenes. So long as an Illuminatus holds this title, the following things are true:

1. E may not declare victory
   
2. Organisation ey control may not be subject of any plots
   
3. E may not make any Plots for Control.
   
4. No other illuminatus may speak to em in public places. E may not be referred to, nor eir posts replied to. Any such references or replies made by accident shall be ignored. E may not be subject of any organisation powers, nor any other game action taken by other players, save for the revocation of this title.
   
5. E may not vote otherwise than deferential
   
6. E may not make any proposals
   
7. If any game action would cause a hidden value containing eir name to be decrypted, eir name is deleted from the value and not revealed.
   

Any Illuminati may take this title at any time, however, ey must keep this title until removed by decree from the Illuminatus Rex, or by proposal.

The first two are to help the Illuminatus Rex keep on top of things, and note that they are awarded at eir discretion only. The last one is for the conspiracy lovers out there; note that this is balanced by the inability to declare victory -- it will be interesting to see if anyone uses this one
