he and I have been discussing exactly this. We are in fact trying to get our SE alliance to his leadership from Crafted, who doesn't have the time, but honestly nobody seems to know how to actually change leadership mechanically.

But we were talking about having us all in one alliance as soon as possible, he's building up his embassy. I know it won't be able to accomodate everyone yet, but it's growing.

In any event, I agree with you and nominate Malgrim.
