For the good of the game, I play Your Spoo Has Too Much Fleem on
Teucer.  But hold on!  What happened to the 4 Investments and 2 Tax The
Poors created by p1821?  There's something fishy about this game, boys.

I always knew you had hidden qualities concealed behind your outer
curmudgeon.

I don't understand your preposition-rich question.  Unless and until we
enact rules that allow it, A doesn't gain any special powers over C by
owning B.

If that's not an objection, what is?

I was thinking of something similar, but alas the hard drive curse has
struck me too, and I have lost my vital legislative work in progress. 
I advise all to back up scrupulously, lest they share my fate.  I
intend to propose a philosophy (Perfectionism) allowing extra Shelve
votes.  I also have plans for Asceticism, Nihilism and Honest
Brokerage.

I am toying as well with the idea of an Academy, which could be
implemented as a location or a society.  Members of the Academy would
automatically gain an extra philosophical mandate, at random, at the
start of each nweek.  They gain the advantages of all their
philosophies, but are expelled from the academy if they violate any of
their increasingly numerous restrictions.
