Once this happens, a random civilian will be chosen as next general (if they agree) AND a random general will be chosen as the next defector.
One General from each side has to actively STOP nukes from getting launched (possible explanation: his overzealous men are pro-nuke, and he must send hourly (?) commands to NOT launch nukes, with the code 111111). This General must send this code in a five-minute radius of the xx:00 mark.
Addition: the General cannot send nukes normally (with the 000000 code)
The Generals/​Petrovs must be people who have had an account on Less wrong for less than a year.
The East and West Petrovs cannot read every other message on the Diplomatic Channel (until after the game)
6. There will be an hour when each General cannot say anything on any channel, regardless of all circumstances. (Everybody can talk for the first hour)
