This could be taken to imply avatar theory. In general, I'm not a huge fan of this particular theme (I didn't like The Republic of Agora either). "Alderman" breaks the long-running Agoran tradition of gender neutrality (at least in the Rules proper -- certain contracts follow the B tradition). I'd rather call it City Elder or something. All in all, I'd much rather just rename "ordinary" to something like "oligarchical" or "aristocratic". Pavitra
