I was thinking the other day (when we were accusing each other of not treating Agora Right Good Forever) about an traitor/accusation inspired theme (for those of you who know the old RPG Paranoia, like that). Players would accuse each other for being Traitorous Scum for not treating Agora Right Good Forever with colorful accusations and convoluted reasoning. This could either be some kind of reverse karma system, or an officer might choose the best accusations to "execute" traitors and award good (for "good", read "evil") play. Though the fact is, we've never sustained any RPG-themes for very long, we cloak things in a theme but then spend more time debating the mechanics than actually playing in character.
