When I did the CotC re-writes last year, this was part of the
discussion/point...
in proto-ing, there was discussion about making offices worth maneuvering to
hold,
CotC was meant to be the pilot. And there was an election that specifically
contrasted how I was using that power versus how omd was using that power as
a campaign issue.
The Grand Poobah came up a few times in discussion IIRC.
My GRAND idea was to re-arrange Rules into Domains. Each Domain had a "leader"
officer who had a fair amount of power in rules within eir domain, but no
power outside of domain. And re-arrange precedence rules so that there
could be different precedence systems within domain.
And domains could fight each other.
In sort: cool idea!
