< Chamber and Title
< 
<       Chamber is a switch possessed by players, proposals in the
<       Proposal Pool, and ongoing Agoran Decisions to adopt Proposals.
<       The possible values for Chamber are Green, Red, and Purple.
<       Green is superior to Purple, Red is superior to Green, and
<       Purple is superior to Red; the opposite of superior is inferior.
< 
<       The default is Green in case of players, the Chamber of the
<       author in case of proposals, and the Chamber of the proposal in
<       question in case of a Decision. These are not continuously
<       updated, but evaluated only as the entity comes into being.
< 
<       A player CAN change eir Title by announcement if e has not
<       already done so previously in the same month. In the same
<       message in which a player submits a proposal, e CAN set its
<       Chamber by announcement. Changes to Title are secured.
< 
<       The Assessor tracks the Chamber of players and the Promotor
<       tracks the Chamber of proposals.
< 
<       The Chamber of a player may also be referred to as eir Title;
<       this does not extend to proposals or Decisions. A player may be
<       referred to as a "<foo> player", where <foo> is eir Chamber.

<

<       transferred to the players specified.
< 
<       When a Government is Formed, each card is transferred to the
<       player specified, or if the card does not exist, it is created
<       in that player's possession.
< 
<       The Government is the set of entities, other than the Lost and

> Coups D'etat
> 
>       When a player begins a Coup D'etat (a coup) as explicitly
>       permitted by the Rules, the following events take place in
>       order:
> 
>       (a) For a period of 4 days following the coup initiation,  any
>           player except the Speaker CAN announce themselves to be a
>           Rebel.  Once announced, this cannot be retracted.  The
>           initiator of the coup is automatically a Rebel.
> 
>       (b) As soon as possible after this 4-day period ends, the
>           Herald SHALL select and announce a random integer between 1
>           and the number of players in the game.  If this number is
>           equal to or less than the number of declared rebels, than
>           the rebellion succeeds, otherwise it fails.  The
>           announcement of this number resolves the coup with the
>           following effects:
> 
>          (i) If the rebellion fails, one Rest is created in the
>              possession of every Rebel, and one additional Rest is
>              created in the possession of the coup initiator, and a
>              Leadership Token is created in the possession of the
>              Speaker.
> 
>         (ii) If the coup succeeds, all Rebels have all of their Rests
>              destroyed.  The coup initiator becomes the Speaker, and
>              the other Rebels are moved to the first R positions in
>              the List of Succession, placed on the list in the order
>              in which they declared themselves to be rebels (first
>              position in the list going to the first rebel, etc).
>              Rules to the contrary Notwithstanding, the new Speaker
>              CANNOT Bestow Favors until 30 days after so becoming
>              Speaker.
