> I don't know if it's born of boredom, (a very real possibliity) or just reading over the log board and seeing the short snippets of roleplay. Honestly, I played cf for about a year or two before the first purge. Back in the days when I was Lokith the drow anti-paladin and Smoke would always chase me around. I'd been ousted from entropy for not being chaotic, and then shadow, for having been in entropy. When Moghedian and others wandered the realms.

> I really liked the addition of the role command by the Immortals. Because honestly in my eyes, while I see the need to have aging and con-loss to keep the upper ranks from becoming over populated. (prepurge had niether) I did feel that it killed 'alot' of the roleplay. And I don't know if I'm alone in thinking this or not but when you feel the press of age primarily, I feel like my roleplaying degenerates to semi decent at best. I realize this is a personal choice and that many, (whom I hold in high esteem) have managed despite these things to really put a great deal into their characters and give them a life beyond your average players attempts.

> Maybe, in addition to the role, on CF. If you think it might be a good idea. You could add another category to the page which allowed players to put something similiar to their role here if they wanted. Bearing in mind you'd see few of those who followed the path of deception or concealment, though in truth it might make a good place for these to even strengthen they're concealment or deceptive appearance. But I still think it would make for really interesting reading and add a great deal of nuance and depth to character interaction on CF itself.(when it's up)

> My biggest disappointment, my only disappointment with the role command on CF is that it's not overly large and once posted you can add but you can't alter what you've placed. Now granted I don't think everyone should run around penning epics such as Istendil's, though in my eyes he was a special case and regardless of what he thinks he can write very well. But I just thought it might be a worthwhile addition to the page. If you have feedback feel free...though in essence it's all rather moot unless Dio decides it's something he'd like to persue.
