The Council

A Mafia/Werewolf game where players can propose any change to the rules. There is one Outsider who plays in the team with hidden information and has veto power but may not veto a certain class of proposals.

Bot

A round where there's a Discord bot that holds the game state (as a database / set of files) and the rules (as Python code). And then proposals are Github pull requests and game actions are Discord bot commands. The initial ruleset can be anything (determined via a second round of polling). There's some code https://github.com/Mathnerd314/NomicBot that's somewhere around halfway usable, it would need to be finished.

As envisioned the bot is canonical in the sense that errors in the bot code are not fixable except by convincing the bot to modify itself. We could add a "bot owner" or judge role with the authority to reset the bot if it gets too far off track.
