So you want to make your commune into a Cult...
The biggest difference between an anarcho-commune and a cult, is a bit of non-sense religion and a leader. To make your commune into a cult, add some special rules.
Example Rule Ideas:
-- Choose a colonist to be the leader of the cult. The leader becomes a messiah figure to the cult.
-- Establish a lavish bedroom for the leader.
-- If the leader dies, the ritual suicide begins.
-- Make up a dogmatic religion for your cult.
-- Name each colonist the same name, except for the leader.
-- Make every colonist wear the exact same outfit.
-- Use outfits and names to establish a caste system in the colony.
-- Add More stringent rules on food and activities, such as mandatory cannibalism.
-- Introduce more severe punishments for “heretics”.
-- Banishment for disrespecting the leader,
-- Joy deprivation for breaking dress code or policies
-- Solitary confinement for violence against members of The Collective.
-- Have the colony become increasingly militaristic.
And just remember to have fun!
