Here in Windmasters Hill, there seems some movement toward substituting Event
Steward for Autocrat. Gatekeeper and gate for troll and trollbooth. Hall
Steward seems common. Cook is gaining ground. I've heard people correct those
that said feastocrat. Since we've made that much progress, I don't think
replacing the replacement just now would be good PR. 

At Cossacks, Mongols & Huns they used Ataman (sp?) for Autocrat and other
vaguely eastern terms for the others, at least in the flyer. That's the only
event I've known that did anything like that.
