Doesn't work It's hard (outside of a few basket cases on Dwilight). You are usually the only voice, get to listen to a lot of "do it for the realm" crap, get to deal with fines, bans, threats, etc., get to try to rally silent, apathetic lords to your side
FTFY
The problem is, there are supposed to be checks and balances throughout the game. But most of them only work if the players stand up together as a group. If you have a realm where 90% of the players don't give a !@#$, then you have no checks and balance. You have one vocal knight against the Council and 90% of the realm who just wants you to shut the !@#$ up with your letters of protest so they don't have so much to read and can click their buttons in silence.
Your suggestions are based too much on the "theory of BM", but ignore the practical side.
You will never achieve it in one day. However, a big part of the game is putting yourself in a position where you can achieve it, one day.
Those people that I have seen succeeding have been preparing themselves for months, and I'd bet they had fun doing it.
In a sense, that is the game. It's the closest thing to winning at BM.
