-Well, if we go for the three-Overlord system, then it wouldn't. An Overlord 
who would strike down a legitimate win also prevents emself from ever 
scoring a Win again, I would think. I'm recalling the legal battle after I 
won - if everyone was permanently pissed with me for nixing another Win, 
that wouldn't have ended the way it did, I'm sure. Killing a win just goes 
against the spirit of the game big-time. Patching the loophole afterwards, 
that's different, and that's one of the things the Overlord is there for. 
What we as a game need is a little more trust for our fellow players, and I 
don't just say that because I've got a modicum of power of my own.-
