Revolution System

## Revolution Systems

Revolution Systems are the balance that dictate who can become a dictator and how they are to be succeeded, either peacefully or violently.

There have been four total iteration of Revolution since the founding of *WeeklyDictator*.

The current System is *Populism and Coup d’état System* established by Snow Inc (Snøw).

## Systems

### Original System

This system worked by having the revolutionary leader having more propaganda per users than the dictator's or any would-be competiors. When the revolutionary leader consistently have the most supports, they can then overthrow the dictator. This is generally decided by the Founding Father or Head Overseer.

*Required more descriptive steps here*

### Disadvantages

The main disadvantage with this system is the Overseer's eye. Sometimes, it can seem like one revolutionary have more support than the other revolutionary on one day and the complete opposite the next day. Overseers tried to use poll to better guage the support. However, this have led to poll rigging such as AmazingVI23 to get a second regime and KatyKitten to get Farmers Common Union to become Dictator which FCU wasn't aware.

### Six Points System

Revolutionary could get points by doing things such as having a certain amount of upvotes on their revolution post, good amount of propaganda, party leader's endorsements, and being favored by Oligarchy's vote majority. Revolutionary with the highest points will then be able to overthrow the dictator.

##### What granted points:

* Highest upvotes on Revolutionary Annoucement post
* Any three parties' endorsement
* Sufficent propaganda supports
* And endorsed by a majority Oligarch vote.

### Disadvantages

The six points system was largely disliked by the people because they did not choose it to replace the original system. Lord Ducktillious simply decided to make it the new system when talk of a new one started becoming more popular. This is also partly caused by the main disadvantage of the system, which is the fact that it was too easy to use (to the point where it felt like exploiting) and that it didn’t feel like a revolt (due to the lack of support and violence needed in the system). And lastly, it was too chunky and can feel very slow depending on how active the Head Overseer is.

### Oligarchy System

This system worked by having *Triumvirate of Oligarchs* vote on who shall become the next dictator. At least 2/3 votes is needed for the revolutionary to replace the dictator.

**Steps**

1. The revolutionary must publicly declare that they are revolting in order to be selected by the Oligarchs.
2. Oligarchs must then decide to either replace the dictator or continue his regime.
	1. If the Oligarchs chose to continue the Dictator's regime, the Dictator does not get any protection and can be replaced at any time.
	2. If the Oligarchs chose to replace the dictator, they must choose from any publicly announced revolutionaries.
3. The Oligarchs then cast vote on the revolutionary. At least 2/3 votes is needed to officiate a transition of power.

Disadvantages

This does not allow Revolutionary to rely on supporters and rather focused more on maintaining good relationship to the Oligarch. This had caused an issue with AmazingIV’s third regime as he was not a popular figure among the subreddit.

### Populism and Coup d’état

Created by Snow Inc (Snøw).

Needed to be summarized from https://www.reddit.com/r/WeeklyDictator/comments/o3358p/our\_new\_revolution\_system/

#### Disadvantages:

This system, while provided violence as wanted by many people, have caused the most violences out of all the system implemented. Far more violences than many would prefer. The Populism part was never seen being enacted as Coup d'état often time finishing long before Populist could gain majority supporters.
