So it is nigh on official that to have your character even considered by the gods you must have a role ... the role may as well be mandatory.
What if a newbie becomes an oldbie by just playing carrion fields but never looks at this page (amongst others) he has never played an empowerment character and decides to play an empowered char again and again and only gets empowered by one or two gods out of the ten that he tries with his different char because he doesn't have a Role. The thing is because he is a fairly good roleplayer he hardly ever talks in OOC and still doesn't know about the role because it isn't upon the homepage and not much points to it in the help files. Apart from some little foot note in the MOTD:
Role command in. Read the help file on ROLE.
Look it is a poor example and instead of rambling what I am saying is, in the MOTD write it in next to the Description that the Role command is helpful for roleplay and it is suggested that you have one instead of declaring it in the way above. Don't make it mandatory for the newbie turned oldbie generally got along with out it. That is all you have to do and all my gripes with the command will be gone.
You seem to pay a heavy price for being ignorant in CF and this could be changed some by a little clarification by the imms.
