Problem #1: You'd still need to convince the Board of Directiors to change
Corpora to allow it. I don't see such a change as terribly likely.

Problem #2: How do you determine whast the "most popular" activity in a
given area is? Using Bryn Gwlad zs an example, do we count the number of
armored fighters vs the number of rapier fighters at fighter practice? Take
those numbers and compare then to the number of people at guild meetings?
And, as you said, what about the archers and equestrians and suchlike?
