Create a combined event where only 10% of players are split across some number of delegations with abilities. All other players are just normal players without any abilities. But delegations must communicate with and manipulate the minds of common players (to gain favour, for example: the more players you fool, oh, I mean interest - the more favor you gain).
So it will be like a delegations market, where each is trying to sell their abilities to normal players

As I understand it, the delegations are a one-time event and won't be a recurring thing. That said, it would be cool if it were like a yearly recurring thing for a limited time (say, 2 weeks max) where variations on it, like the one suggested here, could be implemented.

This variant also fixes the participation issue, as now it is easier for the team with bigger online to get points
