You know, all of this planning is dependent on having someone who affirms/denies everything... that's gonna be a lot of work; so we couldn't just dump it on Dave; on the other hand, giving it to any player gives that player phenomenal power; in fact, it effectively means instant dictatorship.
Why exactly can't this be confined to a personal world somewhere? If you want to give yourself DM powers, then you can, in your own little fantasy world. But let's not turn the entire game into Dungeons and Dragons, 'cause that's gonna get ridiculous.
