I think shidaku was working on that assumption and that the players around the table most likely didn't decide to vote on his being a leader - he just decided to take on a leadership role.But it sounds like you're referring to the group leader as an elected officer of a gaming club. Did he come to the gaming group to try to help mediate the problem as an outsider? But we could also be looking at a mix of issue here again. He's an elected club official, participating in the campaign you're running, taking on a leadership role there that he wasn't elected to do within that group context. See where I'm going here? Just because he was respected enough to be an officer in the club doesn't mean he has the respect of the gamers at the table for that particular issue. They may not have elected him to act as group leader within that particular context, they may have elected him because he's the one who they think will do well running game club officers' meetings and acting as the figurehead of the club.</blockquote>
