8.3.6 House Challenges - How Successors Move Up
(See HELP HOUSE GOVERNMENT, HELP DICTATORSHIP, HELP OLIGARCHY, and even HELP ARENA for arena challenges and combat.) A designated successor to a current Dictator or Oligarch may attempt to move ahead (taking over the reins of power in the place of the one who designated this successor) by means of a challenge. The challenge simply notifies the Dictator/Oligarch, and the House, of the successor's desire to take over as soon as possible. There is no election, or referendum. If the Dictator or Oligarch responds "yes" to the challenge, or does not respond at all (within a reasonable period), then the Successor takes the reigns of power and becomes the new Dictator/Oligarch. If the response is "no" then the challenge ends with no change. HOUSE CHALLENGE <person> : Challenge the current leader HOUSE CHALLENGE REJECT : Current leader declines to step aside HOUSE CHALLENGE SURRENDER : Current leader agrees to step down (See HELP HOUSE GOVERNMENT, HELP DICTATORSHIP, HELP OLIGARCHY, and even HELP ARENA for arena challenges and combat.)
