And todays sugar craving is...

Butterscotch.

Mmmm.

Eating some Werthers Originals right now; but they're not as good as those little rectangular butterscotches in the golden wrapping paper that always sticks to them. Can't seem to find those any more, although a search party to Tescos pick n' mix may discover them later...

What am I eating?

A pint for the correct guess

Ingredients: Potatos grandules, potato starch, vegetable oil, cheese & onion flavour [flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate, disodium 5'-ribonucleotide), lactose, milk proteins, flavouring], salt, colour (annatto)

I had to moan sooner or later

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.

Crisis

I'm on my last piece of butterscotch

Well...

I've just finished reading the MC System...
I've found something I like about it; the "One prestige character a year" rule, which at least is some control over the amount of goob people can create.

As far as I can see all the MC system is going to do is steadily increase what you're allowed to play, and this means after your first character or so most of your characters will be new squiffy ones - no more plebs.
Does this mean that the pleb:poobah ratio will fall?

I also looked at the list of what people can get prestige for - oh my various gods - I've got to keep track of this for everyone.

I sense two roads of action here - I quit as DC² or I get an ADC to do it for me.

I didn't take this position for beaucracy, or for the squiffy bonuses, I took it to keep the damn game going
