Sounds bloody silly.
First off, if it's about winning you should not be playing HQ in the first place.
Second, hopefully no-one is going to follow the cycle that slavishly. Attempts to manipulate it are going to be wrought with difficulties. (Not to mention that losing the attempt to gain your clans support might have some unpleasant repercussions.)
...but, if it sails your boat...
Cheers,
