: Not powergamers... assholes. The powergamer, it's worth noting,
: often has a deep interest in and knowledge of the background
: process; they make excellent builders, coders, and staff a lot of
: the time. The problem is not that powergamers are always assholes;
: the problem is that assholes are always powergamers. It's unfair to
: lump them all together like that.
now there's a message that I wish the new r.g.m.admin
wanna-be-admin would sit still long enough to grok... well put.
I myself want to make just enough room that the powergamers
can shoot for being 'the baddest around'... however, the only way
they can achieve this is through rank, which is earned by internal
experience level (as a screen) but primarily through quests solved.
The Princes, Dukes, Earls, etc. will be only those who've followed
storylines enough to be an acceptable champion.
I hope that adding this goal of political power will encourage the
power players, and that the condition of quest familiarity will temper
temper but not scare them away.
