TURN FOUR REVOLUTION
TURNTURNTURNThe Priesthood launch their revolution. Fires rage across the city; people scream; the streets are soaked in red.
Bonfires, that is. And I suppose 'screaming' is an impolite way to refer to the musical talents of the citizenry. As for the wine being spilt, there's always more where that came from.
Yes, the Priesthood have declared a never-ending festival, under the leadership of the new Mistress of Ceremonies. They may be reliant on subordinates to actually enact the many celebrations, but surely anyone given the opportunity to become a Divine Justicar will be fully supportive of the government, and will not need to be bribed persuaded to support the MC.Rexeme(Rockeater) is immediately granted the Office of Mistress of Ceremonies.

When news of the Revolution reached outlying farming communities, they immediately started working on a law proposal to submit to the People's Council. A delegation of farmers just arrived in the city, and were, um, a bit perturbed to find out that there had been a second Revolution. But they came all this way, so they might as well try to get the Partycracy to pass their law anyway, right?Whilst this Law is in force, the Polis loses 500d Treasury each turn.
The Agricultural Expansion Campaign is changed to "Add 1500 Drachmae to the Polis Treasury. Increases the Power of the Commoners Class by 1."
This Law may be Repealed at any time. The Commoners would Hate that.
Despite the change in government, the Commoners
Demand that this Law be passed.
((It's a Law Proposal! It's like an event, except the effects are permanent, and usually it's a lot clearer what the Classes think about it.
In this case, the Commoners are especially zealous about it; they Demand it be passed. This means three things: one, they Hate it failing, but do not actually Love it succeeding (thus no Popularity is earned voting in favour, nor will Commoner Mood increase). Two, nobody needs to Propose (or Suggest) it, it can immediately be voted on. Three, abstaining is considered the same as voting against it.
Laws, once passed, stay in effect. This one happens to be...
not great, but other Laws could have more balanced or even beneficial effects.
A Law will usually mention if/when it can be Repealed, and what consequences doing so would have. In this case, it can be Repealed whenever; the Repeal can be proposed on any turn, then voted for as usual.))
