I fail entirely to see the point.  Maybe it would be fun, but isn't it
just starting an island like usual, but from a point further back?

And other problems arrive....The adventurer class is one that
undeniably rewards activity due to its tick per hour nature....That is
not such a big deal at this point, as even if a person playing an advy
signed on 24 times a day to use every single turn, by the time they
were done, and had any real power, they'd be a noble like everyone
else...

On this island, though, there would be a real benefit to not only
becoming a noble, but doing so as *quickly* as possible, because the
first ones off will be the rulers of their realms, and the next few
will fill up the other available seats.

I just don't see that it would be of any real use.
