Macination

Tired of his enemies' endless machination to remove him from the throne, the king had them executed.

While Richard and Nate promise me that disallowing me to have Ben as a partner is a matter of policy, their inconsistant enforcement of this policy, makes their behavior seem more like a machination.

Synonyms: cabal, conspiracy, design, intrigue
