Where the game has gone wrong is that it has given the host way too much power.
You cannot get rid of the host when he goes inactive. That means at least 1 guy loses 10% prestige, unless you get a Presbyter/Vice to get a new member, promote him to Officer, and the new Officer to expel everyone.
The host is also completely omnipotent in the alliance, having power over everyone else, making is relatively easy to be host & tyrant.
What we need is a good veto system, so lower positions, and members, can override the next lowest position.
