It should be possible to hold more than one council postion. IC, people 
probably wouldn't put up with it. So why have the restriction? It is 
possible to RP characters differetly. I do it just fine, except I suspect 
that the players, rather than the characters, don't trust one of my 
characters who stayed.

You haven't been in Perdan. I'm pretty sure Naira wouldn't let you campaign.

One council position per account is a bit harsh on the players. It's the 
player attitude that will eventually come around to changing the way places 
are appointed, not the game mechanics.

The Internet is truly a wealth of exotic and meaningful information. Each 
new nugget of knowledge it brings to me makes me a little bit stupider.
