Well, I just have a few questions about the rites last night. This is my first rager and I'm really curious as to why the rites work like they do.
Basically first of all, what is the point of the ancient rager trivia. Things like "Who defeated Shadow and had a street named after them for it?", or "Who was the lich who fought Holtzendorff?".
Is there ANY way to know this IC, or is it just meant to ensure that people who've been playing forever have an advantage?
Second of all, what is the point of the rites? Why on earth would the leader be decided by the ragers voting on who they want to be leader? It's supposed to be a barbarian village instead of a democratic
party convention, right? And if not, why even have the rites? I never really saw Faldrim on much, so maybe he's not the right choice for leader, but then why wouldn't you look at the second runner
up or something instead of having a voting session?
