I had to moan sooner or later

[robinbloke]

I am viewing the incoming Prestige system with not a small amount of dread.
I am a DC², and the notion of the beaucratic maintenance of around 30-40 characters' prestige fills me with horror and annoyance.
Worse still, I've not really got a clue what exactly it is beyond second hand rumour - nor had any kind of input to it when I'm expected to manage the damn thing - and I have to manage it when it comes out.
I became DC as we needed someone to organise venues, payments, ads, reports, complaints and suchlike. Not to keep track of everyones house points so they could make goobier characters.
Problem is I don't really know anyone else (immediately to mind) who could be DC or I'd probably quit DC in protest when the system comes in.
I hate beaucracy.

None.
As long as the date you actually joined is sorted. There are people like NST Jason who joined in 95 but have a 500 number. Rob H joined over a year before me and his number is only 70 lower...
Monty quite happily backdated mine to the date I actually sent off my app (mind you, I was one of the lucky few with only 3 months between application and receipt of membership).
Speak to your DC or even better RC (Tracey), as she's been handling memberships of late.

However, as soon as the move over to WW happens (and I doubt it won't) we'll all have new numbers, anyway.

And the new numbers appear to bear no relation to the old ones - so who knows what's going to happen then?

Oh, and as an asise - does anyone know what's going to happen to all our 16-17 year old players, seeing as they can't actually join WW-cam until their 18th birthday?

Sit on it until April, when the Tome will be done. That's one of the things covered.

Excellent.

I'll pass that on to the masses.

Saves me posting the querie to UK-General and provoking a spam-fest. ;-)

Right, I'll bully Monty next London game.
