The N-1 could name-take the name-taker on the same day if they can achieve consensus before the teacher comes back.
The N-1 simply have to wait for the teacher to come back, then explain that the name-taker was abusing his position, hoping the teacher will release them from punishment for name-taking the name-taker. AFAICT, there's no incentive for the N-1 to lie about whether or not the name-taker was taking advantage of them.

- mcguire 8y agoYes. It's hard to get many people to agree on anything. On the other hand, it's hard to get many people to agree on anything.
- anonytrary 8y agoWhat incentive is there for them to unify against the name-taker if the name-taker was being fair? N-1 people aren't just going to cry wolf in synchrony, because they don't trust each other. Can't a set of untrusted nodes still achieve consensus assuming more than half are good players? It's unlikely that over half of the class consists of class clowns.
