Okay, I'll forget it then, I agree with your point. I didn't like it that much myself, but was searching for a compromise.
As a caveat to your "big yawn" comment, I feel precisely the same way about the whole noble becomes Emperor and is given divine powers routine. It's been done before in the RW and in Glorantha. I think it would be a far more interesting Empire if the Emperor was singular and was _not_ replaced in the manner described in the Moonson LARP. YGMV.

Its funny but I feel exactly the same way about the singular RE concept. I think its packed with MGF (to steal your term) and is way cool (to steal another).

You're right. I dislike the Belintar cloning. Consider it dumped. BTW, its because G is so rich and magical that I'm in favour of a divine singular RE and less in favour of a RW political motivation behind direct succession for the RE.
>Unless Belintar is going to be next victim of a "rethink"?
Not my department.

That's only because the Empire uses the metric system.
