On 10:16 PM 7/24/98 -0700, I personally witnessed S. Patrick Gallaty
jumping up to say:

Well, in a game where everyone starts with one point, this sort of...
doesn't work. Bob has one point. Joe has one point. In fact, everyone has
one point. So... no one can swear allegiance to anyone else. So the entire
system is useless.
It would, of course, make perfect sense to disallow swearing to someone who
is already sworn to you further down the tree. Basically you trace the tree
straight up, and disallow circuits that way. "Swear to Joe": Joe != Max ->
Pete != Max -> Max == Max -> "Joe is already loyal to you." Well, of
course, you need better wording.
