... says the Anlor Winn Yubo Ball Tournament Champion. ;)

I can only speak about myself, of course, but I quite enjoyed politics as long as it lasted. I would also like to point out that player politics decided about war or peace between Fyros and Matis, for example, so it's not just "imaginary", at least not more than, say, a Beauty Contest or a Tournament. At worst, politics discuss where to place a flower pot in a village. At best, it's about how to move and act here or there to gain the most for your country, your people or yourself (depending on your character's motivation). Is that elitism? Less elitism than politics in real life, I would say, and the chance to get a fancy title are actually far less then when you participate in some games or competitions which, in turn, usually have no charm for me.

You get, by the way, only one "fancy" title from politics. My only one therefore is (or rather was) "Matis Noble"; it took me a long time, and I was only one of three who got it for their IG contribution to the game on Leanon, where rules to become a noble were very strict. I had no profit from that title but was able to continue contributing to IG politics and, I hope, therefore to the atmosphere and IG experience, as far as RP is concerned. For those who play no RP it makes no sense, of course. But nor make Yubos with reindeer antlers or Halloween pumpkins or Yubo Ball games. ;)
