> The Feedback - Sometimes an empowerment-seeker just isn't going to get it. They're RP might suck, they might not have a description, they're role might be 3 lines long. It's in these instances where the immortal should just say "You're not going to get empowered, sorry."
I'd like this if the near-guaranteed response wasn't: "Why not?" "Because." "Because why?" "Your description sucks." "You're kidding, what sucks about it?"
At that point you're left with either being a bastard and saying, "Your god has spoken!" and departing or sighing as the guy at the other terminal tries to quickly whip something better looking together.
On another note... Obviously I agree with the Mortal Avatar idea (a la Voice of the Scarab) but even then it's tricky since a fair number of people will switch on their RP when they meet with the Avatar and promptly switch it off afterwards. It's a step in the right direction though.
