(obviously useful only in a MP game!)

Yes! YES!!! Like Play by Committee, only built into the game so SJ doesn't have to input everybody's orders! I imagine it would be a matter of setting up some sort of "permissions" system similar to the file system of Windows XP... whether that's feasible in a game or not I don't know
