SWIL coup
From SWILwiki
Coups are an important staple in any autocracy, so SWIL, being never particularly good at imitating democracy, has its share of them. They always occur at SWILmeeting, and range from the mini-coups — for instance, when the last year's presidents suddenly notice that all three of this year's presidents have gone to get ice cream at the same time, leaving their chairs vacant — to elaborate schemes with weapons, costumes, and slogans weeks in the making.
After seizing power, conspirators generally give the presidency back after a meeting or a week, since nobody actually wants to have to be president. Sometimes they write a SWILnews first.
