My view on this subject has always been simple. When a player wants to 
become an Actor, the relinquish control of the character to the GM pool. If 
an adventurer becomes high priest, then the player must control all his 
interactions, or must decide to allow him to be made into an actor. Its not 
fair for an adventurer to have his actions decided by a GM, and certainly a 
player will get angry about this happening.... So the player of the 
adventurer becoming High Priest must either run him as a high priest and be 
the one responcible, delegating his authority to lower priests when he cant 
be there, or allow him to be Actorized, creating a good writeup and 
allowing the GMs to use him as an actor.... Regardless of the consequences 
to the resulting actor.

There seems to be two possible solutions to this issue.

A) Players can't be High Priests.

or

B) If a player is in a position of Power, there needs to be an immediate
second in command who is not a player character that a GM may use.


I prefer B, but it requires more work.  If a player isn't there, then
his character shouldn't be used.  But if the player is in charge of
something important, and immediate events demand a descision then there
needs to be someone who can act and do so under GM control.
