Hierarchy - DELEGATES

Ok, so I was the leader of white family (blondes) and we've had also blacks. We were out of rubber and needed well upgrade, so I took a horse and try to get to bell town. While riding I start thinking - why the hell I did it myself, leader suppose to stay in village. Maybe I didn't believe others will care enough.

I was too old, so I turned back, take other route and coincidentally found browns. I took two tires and return with them to village.

Anyway… if I choose someone to go somewhere, people there should be aware that this person was delegated by a leader. Any follower can just grab a horse and start riding somewhere. A delegate would show that village is actually in need and that person is legit to make a trade etc.

Beside, people would feel obligated when chosen directly (and with new title).

Another, but similar idea. A leader should be able to choose trusted people from his followers.

Acutally, these people should climb in the hierarchy.

Right now there is not enough time to look for a new leader, if there are 2 families and many people. A leader can choose

1. daughter/son
2. highest in hierarchy

But what if no one choose any other leader in a group and there are only followers and one leader?

A leader should be able to give rewards for good work - "I promote you".

Re: Hierarchy - DELEGATES

One idea we've already had: make the relations two-way.
Being accepted as a follower would give you credibility.
The bigger the hierarchy, the better it is to be a part of it, even as a lowest level follower.

There are three ways to measure someone's importance:
1. The size of the hierarchy they're part of
2. The number of followers they have
3. The distance to the king

Being a direct follower of the king is way rarer if the king has to approve each of his followers.

But in this case each leader should always know the whole list of her followers. Because she's responsible for them.

More generally, two-way links would give the system more inertia. Good for making it important, bad for making it easy to use.
