DIRECTOR SENDRI WELCOMES YOUR INPUT. REMEMBER TO VOTE TO BE HEARD!
The propaganda posters along the streets of the Alliance-Run Colony of Allfield, (A town largely dedicated to producing canned goods, despite the agriculture-themed name), have a nice, stereotypical, Earth-cold-war dystopia feel, with the clean lines and the red, off-white, blue, and grey color scheme and an image of the great leader, Sendri Pilotslicense. The aesthetic is only amplified by the perpetually overcast sky and buildings made primarily of concrete and bricks. The small town of twelve thousand citizens has never much dared to speak against the "candidates for election." Indeed, the candidates are pre-approved by Alliance Officials, and the media is always pro-incumbent. That combined with an intense voter apathy has rendered all the seats completely safe.
You are the holders of those ten safe seats on the Allfield administrative board, mostly imported from abroad to serve as "model foreigners who willingly immigrated to join our great and welcoming nation and came into power through their newfound patriotism"
Most of you are loyalists. Maybe you bought fully into the Alliance as a force for good, and thus are unshakeable in your faith. Maybe you haven't bought fully into the Alliance line, but at least realize it is not prudent to criticize it too much. Or perhaps you have your eyes (or whatever you use to perceive) turned upwards to yet higher positions within the Alliance's governmental structure, and think that apparent loyalty will be good enough to get you there.
However, recently, a problem arose when rumors of dissent among the members of the board reached the regional political officer, Captain Lanthanide. Lanthanide video-called in, issued some threats, reprimanded you all for lack of loyalty, and demanded that the traitors be stopped, or everyone gets shot.
Shockingly, for the first time, the rumors are true, and not just a convenient excuse to replace you with someone cheaper. Four of you actually ARE Rebels. "Traitors to the nation an' Sendri in particular!" Lanthanide said. Thankfully for you, Lanthanide has no intention of actually doing her job at the moment, so you're unlikely to all get purged come the next "Loyalty Day" for "Improper Association with Traitors". But unless the loyalists among you do something to prevent it, worse problems than "imminent imprisonment and likely death" may arise should the rebels come to power.
Basic Rules:
1. Standard Murdergame Rules Apply.
2. Don't enter a character you're not okay with being a rebel, being a loyalist, or dying. Any of these things can and will happen.
3. If you're going to drop out, tell me, don't sit around waiting for someone to complain about your turbolurking before making a decision.
4. No communication outside of the thread. There will be no scum chat, nor will there be PMs between players.
Game Rules: (Based very closely on Secret Hitler)
1. At the start of the game, you will receive a DM telling you which role you have. The options are Loyalist, Rebel, and Rebel Leader. There will be six loyalists, three rebels, and one rebel leader.
2. There are 11 Rebel Edicts and 6 Loyalist Edicts in random order on the edict list. (Think of it like a deck of cards.)
3. The goal of the Loyalists is to either issue five Loyalist Edicts or get the Rebel Leader killed. The goal of the Rebels is to either issue six of their own edicts or get the Rebel Leader elected chairperson after three pro-rebel edicts have been issued.
4. The Rebels know who the leader is, the Leader does not know who the rebels are.
5. The Gameplay takes place in phases. The phases go as follows.
Powers the Presiding Member will receive by number of Rebel edicts issued.

5. The Gameplay takes place in phases. The phases go as follows.
ELECTION
- The Presiding Member will nominate a Chairperson. They may discuss their nominee beforehand with the other players. (Someone who was chairperson one round cannot run again until someone else has been chairperson. The same is true for the presiding member.)
- Everyone discusses, and votes on whether or not the chosen candidate will be chairperson. (The chairperson nominee and presiding member get to vote too.)
- If the vote does not get a majority, it fails, the next person on the list becomes the presiding member, the chairperson seat remains empty, and the election phase repeats. If this happens three times in a row, the edict at the top of the edict list is issued, but if it would grant a power to the presiding member, it doesn't. The term limits also reset.
- If the vote does get a majority, the chairperson nominee is elected, and if a victory condition has not been met, legislation can begin.
LEGISLATION
- The Presiding Member gets told the top three edicts on the list via DM, and chooses two to pass on to the Chairperson. The not chosen one is discarded and will not come up again until the whole pile of edicts has been gone through. The Presiding member may not communicate with anyone until the choice is made.
- The Chairperson is given the two edicts via DM, and choses which one to enact. The one not chosen is discarded and will not come up again for a while (until the whole pile of edicts has been gone through).
- If five rebel edicts have been issued, the Chairperson may request to skip the legislation phase after receiving the edicts, instead of issuing one. If the Presiding Member agrees, it is treated as if the election phase did not elect a chairperson and the legislation phase is skipped. Otherwise, the Chairperson must issue an edict.
- If the edict grants a power to the Presiding Member, the Presiding Member immediately uses that power. Otherwise, proceed to phase three.
DAMAGE CONTROL
- Captain Lanthanide will bring up an issue that you need to resolve, usually related to the issued edict. This is a challenge posting phase, like in EZPI and CC. You will be given a task, and you will follow the directions. Then Captain Lanthanide will rate you.
- The top performer will receive "patriot points", which means that they receive an extra "yes" vote if they are nominated for chairperson or if they nominate a chairperson.
Powers the Presiding Member will receive by number of Rebel edicts issued.
- Break-in: The Presiding member finds out one person's loyalty (Rebel or Loyalist). They may do with this information as they wish. The same player cannot be investigated this way twice.
- Second Break-In.
- Appoint Successor: Instead of the Presiding Member passing down the list, it passes to whoever the current presiding member chooses.
- Purge: A player of the Presiding Member's choice is executed and are dead. They are out of the game. If this eliminates the Rebel Leader, the game ends. Otherwise, no information is given on whether a Rebel or a Loyalist was purged.
- Second Purge.
- Rebel Victory.
Remember, Sendri's will is the only way, and have a very happy Loyalty Day.
