Players can create factions, faction members can deposit their money inside a faction's "bank". Any cash put inside the faction's bank remains hidden. Why would you put your money inside the faction's bank? because no one will be able to see if you buy intrigue cards, bribe a player, fund a fellow faction member that went rogue. If you don't hide your cash it will look suspicious when a senator is nearly killed and 20 gold coins are suddenly missing from your personal wealth.

Could you send link to the game site you're talking about. I'm bored af with nothing to do right now.... Yes you need a faction else you're gonna end up an independent and die quickly. In the Game of Rome, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.

If you are being persecuted the senate will vote do determine if you are innocent or guilty (you participate in the vote too). If you don't want this vote to happen you will be left with the following choices: go into self-imposed exile or appeal to popularity. Minor persecutions result in -5 influence, -5 popularity and the loss of your status as former consul if any Major persecutions always result in execution. (Only those who have or had last turn a high ranking office can be persecuted like this) Consuls can veto a persecution.

What is proscription and what is tribune... and what does blackmail do? How much influence do you get for influence pedaling?

When a civil war ends, the victorious consul/dictator can use proscription to kill all the equites of the defeated faction. Not only will the defeated faction lose all of its equites, but members of such faction will also be banned from attracting more equites. The consul/dictator then will roll a dice for every single equite killed and will get the result in gold.
You can either use it to veto a proposition or to make a proposition of your own.
You can use it against a player, it gives them -5 influence if they refuse to vote the way you want.
The name is misleading, what it actually does is it changes a player's faction affiliation. For obvious reasons, all of those intrigue "cards" have a 1 time use and can only be brought during the intrigue phase.

If we change a players faction affiliation what does it mean? Does that mean players can be bought into a faction against their will?

Can you explain the talents you gain if you accept a bribe? How can they be used? Are they permanent or are they like coins where you "spend" them?
