Lately I have noticed that in each of our venues we are having issues more on the attendance of our players than anything else.
This is due in part because some of us our balancing multiple games on the same nights and in part because we are suffering burnout.
I would like to be able to attend every game, but I am not going to be able to. I am sure most of you have things which prevent you from being at every game.
The positions that we have In-Game are affected when we are not there.
I have heard a rumor that the Hierarch(sp) position is being vied for. This is a position Mandorla had, but since Chris O'Neill is taking a hiatus he has been effectively unseated.
I think we're really pushing in-game for everybody to have some kinda position and I'm really not feeling it. We have so few players that it seems like everybody is a chief and nobody is an indian.
I don't think we need duplicates of the same positions.
The Regent positions in the Requiem venue can be killed and the power redistributed in such a way that there is TENSION and story... and not just making room for everybody to be cozy and happy IC. Having two Sheriffs isn't nearly as intriguing as having a Sheriff and his Hound (or Deputy) where there is an obvious power difference between the two.
Ultimately, antagonism and story between characters is what is going to bring people back time and time again. We should be our own storytellers in that aspect.
Instead of agreeing OOC to let X person have Y position it should all be applied for IC... and other people should be allowed to make the decision.
Give power to the people in regards to what their titles are... and make it worth more.
