Nice idea.

Something else I thought of while people discussed the
"Captain" or "Social."  Have the Captain be an NPC.  That
way no player has an advantage role-playing-wise over any
other player.  

Also, I learned that making one character stronger than the
others isn't good enough.  If you have a limp noodle of a
player holding that character sheet, then the evening might
be a bit slow.  

So, make the Captain an NPC.  He acts as a filter.  "I
talked with Sarah, and she says that the deal is on.  She
just needs to double-check security with Bruno.  No, she
only wants to talk with Bruno.  Everyone else piss off and
come with me so they can be alone."  

The PCs get their stimuli from the GM instead.  

The joys of RPGs is that when you're used to fiddling with
magickal powers and demons, then giving Jung and Freud
gerbils up their arses is a piece of cake.

Beavis & Butthead do not cause fires; stupid people do.  Role-playing games do not cause mass cultish suicides; stupid people do.  Homosexuality does not lead to societal and moral decay; stupid people do.  God does not condemn or place false blame on these things; stupid people do.
