The Faction leader ID, is the only good idea posted here, that would be something, dont give them the "repfix him as i like" power, the name alone should pull some weight, but he can REQUEST changes done by admins.
The rest is as stupid as: "oh lets raise the prices on battleships so people have to slinetly powertrade a lot longer, and then raise the prices on big trains, so they have to powertrade silenty for even longer, so only the realy bad lowluts will ever get that battleship"-idea, they had lasttime.
You wont be doing anyone a favor by makeing indyplay next to impossible, neither the factions nor the playerbase in general.
