No, because then one faction would own all positions. That would not work at all.
That is the very issue i'd see ... IF 2 out of the 3 elected Devil's Table positions were taken away.
Just so long as it remains a Drow controlled settlement.
(IF)
As is/has been.
THIS seems near ideal,
the one-seat and 3-seat system there could be an actual compromise version:
One-seat system where the winner of the election has to take Nr. 2 and Nr. 3 from election on for job in their government.
This would feel closer to the first-house-leading-culture than the 3-equal-seat-councilor-thing.
Maybe would be interesting for other settlements as well, since I guess a lot of tension between players is due to the fact that it is all-or-nothing elections. So maybe a system where Nr. 2 and 3 also get a tiny portion of the powerpudding would reduce the level of verbal dung flying between ppl/factions and increase the lifespan of governments-elected.
FOR Drow ...
As its a better incentive for a possible 2nd House to STAY rather than face exile & eviction for trying ...
I'd like too have seen that "tested" within the Sharps, before its change to 1 elected winner ...
However would it be the same/have the same results or even seem/feel less suited, among the more mixed races ...?
Drow Houses might even be more likely to unify at the threat of NON-DROW, even politically ... in efforts to keep say a Goblin/Kobold/Orog/Gnoll/Ogre etc etc. from TRYING to actually GET elected within the Devil's Table ...
Its true that many NON-Drow dwell within the Devil's Table, sum even rent places and shops, ... others will even vote.
YET,
Very few have even tried to run/win, within any Table election's, thos even being,
1/2 Elf-Drow or Human (Outcasted).
A Kobold might have by mistake? yet was also was warned in the RP to drop-out.
Then did.
The Non-Drow that won ... also had MANY Drow to VOTE them in, and had much Drow support to do so anyhow.
Perhaps now too many of the other races see the Devil's Table as a Drow's mess, so should be more Drow fixxed/handled IG.
By ... well, the Drow, that is IF they truly wish it to be/remain their very own District ...?
The Drow do have the population(alone) required for the filling of 3 elected positions, ...?
Weather your IG "for them" or not ...
OR,
Are the other race's populations more required within the Devil's Table's election leadership system, to help keep these leadership positions both active and filled, and hense fourth better functioning ?
