> 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 this point, you do what you are supposed to do. Tell them "I have made my decision. Goodbye."
bastard-like? Certainly. But some people are just 100% clueless, and you shouldn't have to
explain yourself to them. I mean, hell, if you think they have potential, give'em a tip or two.
Otherwise, g'bye, ratface.
> 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.
I think the real trick to that would be to not make it known. Sure, you have your Eye/Voice and whatever,
and Selric has his acolytes.. But pick one of them, let THEM know, but don't make it an advertised thing.
Get the members of your faith to work together sharing information, and the Avatar fellow can
make his/her judgement and go from there.
