Problem with the dead thread is that TRK spilled the beans very early about who was in the den. Perhaps for that reason, a great deal of the thread has involved a discussion of the structure, and whether or not certain moves were or were not "locks."
When it's all done, we need your perspective on ways to tinker with this format and improve it.
First and foremost the king maker should not be given any kind of a list. He should be forced to submit a full list of the players in order of preference to be appointed king. So if there's 5 players left he has to give a list of 5 players in preference order 1-5, with no 1 being his first choice, if he's not eligible then it's no.2 and so on.
I also find some kind of injustice in the fact that we're going to lose because BD thought Pizza was the most suspicious player, but i cant think of an easy way to solve that one.
