Side note: rich-get-richer networks (like most social networks and many biological neural networks) wherein number of connections per neuron is distributed according to zipf's law can be constructed either by introducing new nodes by connecting them to randomly chosen existing nodes or by starting with a randomly connected network and entirely removing nodes at random. So, killing off characters at random is literally an interesting and realistic way of creating potentially interesting social and power dynamics.
