FWIW, the designer also encouraged us to do at least two other things contrary to the rulebook because he said they were good expressions of the game's cutthroat ethos (paraphrasing here), so I think you have his implicit blessing to houserule it.
What were the two things he suggested? :)
One of them had to do with gladiator placement. When I hosted, I extorted money out of the other players in exchange for not placing their fighters in disadvantageous positions. The guy (Kovaleski) said that that was technically against the rules--there are set starting positions at opposite ends of the arena--but that he totally endorsed it.
The other one has slipped my mind, but it was something comparable. Maybe offering other people the benefit of my slaves' powers for a fee?
