Multiple foes

Hmm. Ok.
Let me just say that after my experiences in the GoO Amber fora, I'm a vicious paranoid attack dog when it comes to defending the Amber rules for proposed 2nd edition...

That's why I would suggest that a 2E of ADRP be essentially the same as 1E but with extra options included. Instead of having rule X which "everyone must use" but is house-ruled a lot anyway, present rule X as a "standard" model but with a couple of optional ways to do it instead.
We all know that Erick did this with the various versions of the Elders in the rulebook. Extend it to other rules as well.
The example of the auction vs. point-build is obvious and often cited, and is clearly an example of how many people prefer to alter the core system. Thus, include auction, point-build, and maybe random die roll (blasphemy!) as a series of options for the GM to consider when designing the campaign.
So ... nothing radical gets changed, nothing major gets axed out of the rules, but a 2E expands and suggests alternatives to enhance the present system.
Otha:

Hear, hear.
There might even be a simple shorthand that people could use for which of the options they're using in a proposed Amber game.
