Damn straight they would.
Also, Rianna says no. Not a damn chance. For starters, she doesn't think that the Epireans can all be united. Second, she thinks that doing so would simply be too dangerous, for a couple of reasons - first, that they'll inevitably decide they can rule themselves and don't need us any longer, and second, she doesn't trust Rand or Gallador to have anything to do with any ideas like this. She thinks it's far too likely that they'll try and place themselves in charge of ruling the Epireans, and she's very much against anything that gives those two more power 😛
The only reason Galder would want to stop the games is if we were assembling an Epirean army for ourselves, but we don't really have much use for one unless were planning on conquering the other clans of Epireus. Really, we just want the best Epireans from this lot because the rest are social rejects anyway, and taking the best allows us to have some bodyguards and henchmen that are really cream of the crop.
Political aspirations here are really moot. Sure, Galder wants to give Trogan leadership of a small group so that Galder can control them through Trogan... but that's it. Trying to make this a political thing is only going to piss people off.
Plus, the other tribes like it and like us because we get rid of their rejects and criminals.
I feel like making a political stand starting with criminals not be the best way to go about things, but Rand sees the value of having a bunch of underlings rather than a small handful. Except the weakling Wimps. They should be killed.
Rand votes to stop the rest of the games, with the exception of killing the Wimps. We should have a clear vote on this.
Rand is also impressed with Xavier for this...
