Roles proposal

Motivations

  • Help users identify who's who more immediately.
  • Make sure everyone feels good and not left aside.

Proposal

Remove the following roles:

  • Justicar
  • Methusalah
  • Elder
  • Original 10
  • Kindred

Discussion

If we want a rank to divide the players community, I feel it should have clear intent and an objective condition to join. For example, a Methusalah rank like this:

  • Condition to join: having won a VEKN sanctioned tournament
  • Intent:
    • identify people whose insights may be more worthy of consideration based on their winning record
    • give an incentive for players to organise and participate in tournaments to make it to the rank

It's just a proposal, let me know what you think of it. I'm concerned about the possible drawbacks to this:

  • Would people already in those roles feel belittled or left aside when we remove them ?
  • Would it lower the sense of community ? The occult/mystery of some roles, or the playful roleplaying element, may be important ?
