If Doll wins, the site gets a % monthly population bonus and extra stability, which decreases over time. The party gets a decision at the beginning of May to either war support+division attack (Goonclown), factory output (soyjak.earth), or division defense (Angeleno) which lasts as long as Doll remains admin. Doll also has a political paranoia mechanic, dubbed Sanity, where it must be maintained or else the Soypocalypse will occur. Events will come in with increasing severity that will destabilize the site and decrease sanity (Babybot, halloween attacks, server costs increasing, Red). Sanity can also be restored by firing problem jannies, taking a break from the site, hosting a stream, or doing a q/a, the last two also increase monthly Dollist popularity.
Historically, the Soypocalypse happens in August 2023 and every site in the community gets strong debuffs to attack, defense, stability, and war support for a month. You get the option of immediately ending the Soypocalypse by choosing Froot in an event, or you can continue the Soypocalypse by choosing Trust in Doll. The longer the Soypocalypse goes on, the worse the debuffs get, and you also get a stacking debuff to monthly population growth + political power. If you delay it for 3 months, you will be able to reopen the site as either Doll or Angeleno (ahistorical paths), but historically Froot gets chosen immediately.
Froot has a balance of power mechanic between Absent admin and Frootler, with 20% on the Frootler side when he takes over. Various decisions will appear every month which will cause huge stability and war support debuffs. Froot has a monthly .30% stability and war support personality trait to counteract this. In February Santa's sleigh will be created and rules jointly by Broot and Doll (more on the blog path later). Resistance will be added to the party's /qa/, /pol/, /snowball fight/, and /q/ boards which grows overtime if compliance isn't increased by the time the Frootcord leaks superevent occurs.
If the resistance is not dealt with, those boards will be split between Santa's workshop Loyalists and Splinter Groups. If a Splinter Group defeats the Santa's workshop Loyalist in that state/board, a white peace will be signed and the board will be split between the splinter and the party. If the Loyalist wins, they will be reintegrated as a core party state. The historical path is these splinters win the exchange. Soygem is created out of a /q/ victory, a place santa doesn't visit from a /pol/ victory, Soyzellig from /qa/, and Swedishwin from /snowball fight/. Splinters have a 1 year truce with the party and a vast power disparity with the party as well. In their paths, you can choose to stay independent or create a faction and invite all of the other splinters to it (which has a % chance for your invite to get rejected). The federation combines its territories and armies and is the only realistic way to challenge the party (endgame content). Santa's sleigh can use a focus to puppet one of these splinters as well if it chooses Independence over the Align with the Santa's workshop focus.
