Ending Plot Pools with a bang!

This is a suggestion to the "Plot Pools" narration addon from:
http://universalis.actionroll.com/narration.htm

After the Plot Pool reaches zero, when a Complication arises, a player
involved may announce "X Plot will be resolved!"
Whoever wins that complication gets the Plot Pool value added to their
victory coin pool (10-50 as determined earlier), making sure to spend
some(all?) of the victory coins to spectacularly and conclusively end
the Plot.
The Plot will be crossed off the record sheet, having been conclusively resolved.


I'm thinking that this reward system will be really fun for a plot-focussed Universalis game.
Players will be further encouraged to empty out a Plot Pool.
And knowing that a Plot will be resolved, the players may decide to be all involved in the climactic Complication.
Any comments?
