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.

Prestige is for members, not characters and as the 'ling and C/A game have the same player base, you won't have double the work really.

As for how exactly you're supposed to work with the new system, I suggest you speak to Dave Wade.

I assume there will be a handy guide to conversion or something like that. I'm not a *C and I never want to be, especially not now.

BTW, did you get my pitiful Prestige CV?

Bureuacratic nightmare indeed

I totally agree. It's going to be a nightmare to keep track of exactly what each person is entitled to. I'm currently going through the database for our 3 games, and there are a massive amount of officers registered here. And a few people with fairly low cam numbers. I'm hoping there will be some sort of idiot's guide attatched to the new rules when they finally appear.

But whatever the system is, I'm going to use it to create my new C/A Primary. I think it's important that the people who have to enforce the new system are seen to have a degree of faith in it.

And maybe it's time you got an ADC? Because it does sound like our jobs are going to get more complex.

I have a copy of the proposal...

If you still haven't seen it, prod me and I'll email it to you.

WHOAH NELLIE!

This is just the PROPOSED MC system isn't it?
We don't have to roll over, expose our bellies and take it on.

Be thankful

Somehow I've got to work out how to keep track of the prestige of an entire region.
