I don't recall any evidence that the Rich Five were that able to influence the Project - can anyone tell me where it says that? Because it seems that if they were, the Project would be in dire, dire straits right from the get go, and the whole feel of the game becomes radically changed.

I actually considered something like that, but I prefer a story that has conflict between strong sides over a story that has the home team just fumbling the ball.
