Fraid I can't agree. I've seen and done this one on and off for years 
now. In our groups, we either have people excercising there own 
dominion and 'doing their own thing' (which is sometimes chaotic but 
often entertaining) or we have leadership by consensus of plan. No 
single person on a side necessarily MUST be given the right ot call 
the plays - it is possible for everyone to contribute and help in the 
decision making process. It is also possible for the dissatisfied to 
ignore 'Royal Proclamations' and do their own 'best judgement' 
actions anyway. In short, there are more ways under Heaven and Earth, 
Horatio, than that one way of organizing siz to eight people. Depends 
a lot on your players.
