Well, your vast wealth of third hand knowledge is
quite impressive. If that's all you know, you
really shouldn't be judging the validity of the
rites. Yes, some people participated who probably
had no chance of becoming leader, baring a shockingly
good perfomance by them. I'd certainly like to think
someone who's never around and comes out of the woods
for the first time in weeks doesn't have the same
chance as people who play daily with heart. But I'd
also like to see anyone who does play regularly have
a chance to compete. Rezkirat didn't just fight some mob,
and he shouldn't be unable to lead just because no other
villagers his rank wanted to compete.
