Zhoi (atys)
Actually, when you read it word by word, you can apply this to you :p so the title is goodHm, wasn't the title of the thread "what about me?" :D
Nothing would change - not even a tiny little bit if Zhoi was a "real" Initiate. And you know this very well.
Daomei is right: at the first Assembly (February 11th) we already had votings for national topics (first one being about the transporter of "To new horizons" started by Mabreka Cho) and some more times ever since; Zhois vote has always been counted exactly similar to that of any other Initiate.
You might of course oppose this status IC, for what illogical reason whatsoever. But how can you possibly say OOC that someone wants to "impose" something on you by that - as a player? How intolerant can you be?
My point is (and i will answer to Salazar as well) : as for anyone, i accepted all other nobles, and awakened, as such (i don't speak about Akenaks and taliar, because they were newly elected , there is no question about those), i never said to anyone "hey, you can't be an awakened because i know them all, you're not a one of them". I know the meaning of these titles, as i passed a test myself to gain it. But for this honorary initiate title : there has been none. This is completely new, and what, am I supposed to guess what it is alone ? Accept this instantly because this was existing in Leanon ?
We had no explanation at all about this. Being something new and particular to one server only , I say this is a failure and this leads to the feeling i already expressed : something is imposed to us.
Something i don't understand, because i have no informations on it at all.
I cannot judge if i agree or not, i cannot say under which conditions i could see this logic or not in terms of roleplay.
By default, i simply disagree, and i have arguments for that, i already told OOC ones.
On another hand : I agree that peoples shall participate to national assemblies without having the official citizenship. But in this case, i cannot accept that they have the same rights as the official citizens. Or this is making citizenship completely irrelevant, and let's say i feel offended with this idea, having worked to be an official citizen (and more) of my IG nation.
So yes, i am intolerant, if you want, about this.
At the moment there is just one single character carrying a title that is just a little bit different from others, nothing more than that. It could have happened on any server.
Your character had and still has the chance to protest and discuss this. Well, your character has only just started to oppose that after our characters had begun to fight verbally.
This is perfectly logical as an IC-tactics.
But OOC it is not.
Now that you are aware of this topic, i simply ask you this : can you explain me with details everything that has to be known about how this honorary initiate title appeared ?
This is definetely not something obvious to me. Is it so hard to understand ?
