> There is an easy way to tell if Immortals are on. They are visible. If they are not visible, they are usually busy coding, writing areas, watching for cheaters, etc. What does this mean? It means that sometimes they'll take a break to talk to a potential empoweree. What else does it mean? They are busy, and might not. While this holds true for your char, this really isn't the case for most other IMMs. Nepenthe, for instance is one of the most friendly, oft-empowerering IMMs in the game but he is NEVER vis, or hardly ever vis, from what I have seen which means this sort of invalidates your point, since he never VISes, reguardless of wether he's busy or looking to empower people. Of all my empowered chars NONE of them prayed to their particular god when they were vis, which means I pretty much got lucky. To be honest, Luck, and using what OOC knowledge you can gather about IMM playing times, is one of the biggest factors in gaining empowerment. I like the way you, Astein, and Selric do things, being VIS when you accept prays for empowerment, but not all IMMs do this. Would be cool if they did. Finally take the "luck" part out of empowerment and concentrate on the RP part more.
