> You're not going to convince anyone. Not because you're wrong or because you're necessarily doing anything wrong, but because they're not going to be convinced. Behind each and every one of those complaints is a wannabe Rager, and if you look closely enough, it boils down to "I want to be a Rager, and if you're making it hard for me, you must be a shitty leader." I heard the same crap when I decided to make village inductions Defenders-only, and I'm sure the next leader after you who implements some induction requirement other than "be able to say 'Me no like magic' with a straight face" will get similar treatment. > I haven't had time to play in the past couple of months, so I don't know your character personally, but don't let this garbage dissuade you. I'd also highly recommend against posting on the forum with your character name when you're a leader... it never helps. I've somehow managed to force myself to roleplay through 5 more rager inductions since then, but its been hell. Having to go through an interview. Having to have a description! Having to have a response to questions!!! I don't know how these new players do it. If it wasn't for this random interview-answer generator I picked up off the internet, I'd never know the pleasures of being a bloodthirsty rager again. Hmm... maybe its time I rolled a new one up. I haven't pk'd anybody in atleast a year now.
I remember my first rager. I got to 15th rank, saw the leader on, and told Senan "I want to join the battleragers". I had never spoken with him, or any rager before, and he was never even in the same room with me. The only response I got was "you have been inducted... blah blah blah", and I was immersed in a world of battle chatter. Battle was kickass then, let me tell ya.
