I think the way it is set up now is fine... The Village is full of bloodthirsty Therans looking to 'educate' Thera.. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there SHOULD be a lot more berserkers than scout or defenders. I do like your idea, and think it is a sound one, but I think that it would discourage more people rather than have them appreciate their 'position' and learn how to do best with it. Assigning positions is always a bad thing...

The Empire has their set sects, you KNOW where you're going.. But what if you start a character when the Village needs more Berserkers, let's say. By the time you hit 25 it'll take about 25 hours, let's say.. what with the perfection requirements you suggested and all. That's probably about a week's worth of work for the average CFer... What if at that point the village needs more scouts and you're just ASSIGNED as a scout.. I would be damn pissed.

I dunno, just my opinion. I think there should be a total unbalanced number of scouts defenders and villagers. The VILLAGE needs berserkers, they dont need defenders or scouts. It would be nice, but that's not their whole point.

> Raise rager induction to 25 or 30, impose weapon, dodge, parry, shield block, hand to hand and one other skill of your choosing perfection requirements and then ASSIGN berserker/defender/scout positions to people. This way you have a more even representation of people in each section.

> You raise the induction level and impose the perfection requirements so that people will be less prone to deleting if they get assigned to being a scout or defender.

> It's also good to have even representation so that the imms have a better idea of what tweaks need to be made. If only idiots are playing defenders than the imms can attribute defender problems to the idiots playing them, but if relatively decent people are playing defenders and they still suck the imms might take a closer look.

> In any event, allowing your place to be chosen will NEVER provide the number of scouts and defenders that the village really needs.
