If you're going to transfer into a mob to conduct things.... at least don't transfer into the one who is largely considered the biggest joke to be immortalized as a battle char (Hildebran). While he's roleplayed well by whoever transferred into him, he certainly isn't played very much like Hildebran was during his mortal life, not to mention the fact that he really couldn't beat most of the mortal ragers in combat at the time... so why so arrogant and violent? Be more accurate, have the masters raid and him log off. -Cathoir, wondering how Hildebran made it over ANY of thinny's chars > 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?
