> I don't think anyone is expected to live through 18 real life months. I think what is expected is that organizations built around learning all there is to learn (eg MASTER, TROUPE), should have all the relevant information archived for future generations to draw upon. If anything, my limited involvement with the aforementioned events has raised my .. what's the word.. appreciation for "underappreciated" cabals/organizations - makes you wonder: if Troupers could PK.. would they be a better shadow than shadow ever was? I think so, because there are some things that are much more than they seem, simply because the areas that they are much more complex in are not related to PKing, or, at least viscerally related, and yet, just as important to the game. In other words, Troupe would appear to be about more than tending bar, and Master would appear to be about more than collecting gear and killing ragers.
*nod* This sort of got to me also, when I joined, and found out there are a total *THREE* books in the Tower Library. I mean jeez, we have to send people to Troupe to learn about Magic. I posted an idea, which all the mortals seem to like, but it's not like we can just type "build library" and have a nice one. Even having an Imm say we can have it, IF we do something to deserve it would be nice.
