Not gonna lie, but when I saw list of abstract point values, I kinda lost it there, and when I read all the talk about generic red and blue teams, I really lost it. Maybe it's just a working name that'll be replaced with something interesting, maybe I'm too adverse to complete mode remakes, but I know I don't like it. It just doesn't seem exciting, and I'm just not seeing any "intrigue and treachery". Aside from some nebulous win condition and collecting jobs like some sort of bastard corporate recruiter, what's the point in converting people? Like, you convert peeps in Rev because you need their help to murder the Heads, so why do you what do here?
Not trying to demean you; I think you may be on to something interesting, but the proper ideas haven't come on yet.
I've always wanted to take the joke I pulled out of my ass for Rev's description on the Jobs page too far and enact a real reign of terror, but I always felt that the usual execution methods of lethal injections, electric chairs, etc. just didn't feel right. Now I know why, and it's because we didn't have the blade they actually used! Plus, we can boast that we have a better game about the French Revolution than Ubisoft did.
Seriously though, as somewhat tongue-in-cheek as it is/seems, I like this. It adds a unique and, personally for me, amusing element of infighting that other modes don't intentionally have, where Revs are just as dangerous to themselves as to other Heads. Plus, because the Revs are more fractured and bickering amongst themselves, it gives the Heads a leg up too. Please, make this a new thread.

Everyone other than Heads of Staff/Security start as part of the revolution but are not given antag status until the head rev starts the revolution by spawning a guillotine where he chooses to. All revs have a shared "Fervor" value which increases as non-revolutionaries are guillotined. Increasing fervor grants all revs bonuses and abilities, but it falls over time. The head rev can, for whatever reason, declare anyone a traitor to the revolution, at which point they are removed from the revolution and can be guillotined for fervor. The revolutionaries can also, at any time, turn on the head rev and guillotine him, which grants a huge amount of fervor and turns whoever activated the guillotine into the new head rev. If the head rev dies for non-guillotine reasons, then the next person to guillotine anyone becomes the new head rev. The guillotine can be smashed, but the head rev can spawn a new one after a few minutes. Head victory conditions are: Fervor falls to 0, Head Rev is dead and Guillotine is broken, or Head/Security manage to guillotine the head rev.
