Just as a note on my own little experiment on authority with my classmates.

Subsequent class activities did not, as I had hoped, produce a new leader.  The remainder of the semester was marked by a leaderless, rather aimless group of people with no goal.  They reminded me of a neat line of ants whose walk gets interrupted by the sudden introduction of an unexpected foreign substance right in their path.  The ants will scatter frantically for a while, but then eventually find their way around the substance, but that particular line will take a long time be as neat as it was before, and our semester ended before that line could reform.

Pity I got bored so quickly.  It turns out a lot of the same people are in my classes again – and I’m going to assume that they won’t indulge me twice with the same game!
