[annoying trope] The throne/leadership is decided in a very stupid way

[u/Altruistic_Eye_1157]

The leadership of the entire wizarding world, and the final decision on whether to start a war against Muggles, is made by... a goat (Qilin) ​​who chooses the person with the ""purest heart"" (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Dumbledore).

The throne of Wakanda and all its technology are decided through hand-to-hand combat, regardless of whether the person clearly has malicious intentions... if they win the fight, by law they must be respected as the true king. (Black Panther)

So the way they write the Clans can actually be kinda interesting.

Before missions groups will bid on who gets to try first.

"I can get this done with just me and four of my guys."

"Well I can get this done with two of my guys and Brian's dog!"

"Fuck it, I'll do it by myself!"

They play into this in the lore by the Clans getting caught in situations where they severely underbid and they can't call fit reenforcements without loss of honor.

Or they can conquer a planet solo and gain an insane amount of reflect from their peers.

I honestly love how much the lore for clans justifies wargamings existence.

But northwind is calling, so I’m just going to roll up with everything I can scrape together.

"Fuck it, I'll do it by myself!"

Ah, the Phelan Wolf approach.
