You know, this is the exact system that was proposed for the potential
Northern Atlantian Principality. (It was definitely the most popular among
the various ideas presented, as I recall.)

But you know, in all of Atlantia's twenty-odd year history as an entity,
if the "reign X times, wait X reigns" rule had been in place for that
entire time, only *one* fighter in Atlantia would ever have been affected
(in his case, twice).
