Bearing in mind that Crito will soon be Elected Accountor (General Chaos is not really contesting the Election), this will reduce the number of Offices held by the Threat from 10 to 6, basically restoring the political balance." Sherlock becomes Abiding. Chuck becomes Rebellious. 3/22 Sherlock becomes Rebellious. 3/24 Blob becomes Rebellious. OTHER ----- 3/27 elJefe analyzes the latest results of Proposal 3710's adoption, if it was adopted: "Threat Trombones" was raised to Power=4, so Threat Trombone #5 raised the Monument Rule to Power=7 (regardless of Rules 1692 and 1322 attempting to prevent it from doing so). Rule 1322 then prevents Rule 1692 from reducing the Monument Rule to Power=4, and prevents Chuck's Counter-Scam (involving instruments of at most Power=5) from repealing it.
