In Reply to: I have had chars who have witnessed 3 rites. And here are my conclusions. posted by Rager past on October 13, 2000 at 23:07:02:
I thought that at first, but I have been pleasantly surprised by the outcome of the Rites. I've thought certain individuals had the odds "stacked" in their favor, but I was proven wrong. The Rites have progressively improved in my opinion. You have to keep in mind, fighting ability is only part of it because the terrain gives some an advantage over others. The Rites are really more of a final test. If you're able to succeed during the Rites then you make the final cut and then from there the leader is chosen with the others usually becoming veterans. Being leader may seem like a glamorous position until you have to deal with all the people who think you owe them something in life. As for your example, I really don't want to go into why Rezkirat and his site wouldn't get any Immortal favoritism, but just trust me on this one. So although it may seem like the Rites are rigged, they aren't. -thinnie
