If you do that you’ll just be banned.

None of this seems very constructive so far, imo

We haven’t managed that in the last fifteen years, why start now?

@Pavel We’re constructing it the way toddlers construct sand castles too close to the surf.

I dunno if this fits here but for a thing but it would be pretty cool to have a ‘vote’ thing for rostered bits. As in you could ‘vote’ for a roster bit and it put the highest voted people at the top of the list of rosters or in a separate list. For those who like to shoot for characters highly wanted. Like with anything you’re going to have a group of people that have the ‘loudest’ (or in this case the highest number of people to vote) voices. To my brain this would help people find a place to fit in.

To piggyback on this and pervert it, it would be cool to have a death-game with all the rosters that have been handed off more than five times. Vote for your favorites, and the rest, well… we can call it A Fable of Rosters.

Honestly I would love to take a chainsaw to the roster in some way but I don’t know that characters that have been handed around a bunch are the problem…

I think the main problem is the inactive houses/families. Not many people want to take a roster that is basically an island. The biggest advantage of rosters is the built in connections. There is also a lot of rosters which can be extremely overwhelming. With rosters, at least to my thoughts, many rosters can be good and bad. Always options but that can create indecisiveness.
-
Naw, you’ve got a point. I think this crosses over into more of a peeve, as I’m just fatigued of introducing myself, getting comfy with someone, and then having them plonked back on the roster.
(Rosters be tough.)

@Solstice oh yeah, I find this exhausting too. I try to remember to do it every time but sometimes I just lie there like a bump on a log and think well, if I interact enough that it becomes relevant I will provide backstory to this person if they want it… I paged the last time my husband came off roster, he didn’t respond and then idled out so I assume I have super bad B.O. even in pages.
But I think part of the problem the roster has right now is that there’s a lot of characters on it that no one will take, and even just searching through it people get discouraged. One time I started submitting roster rewrites for some characters and this burst of activity got them players but it turns out doing roster rewrites for characters doesn’t take into account their +sheets I can’t see so there were some conflicts… lol
So meteors is probably the answer.

As someone who took a roster relatively recently, I would add that what would be really nice is a more ways to search characters. Like the alphabetized list is nice, but with the website why can’t you separate between nobles and commoners, males vs. females, age ranges, fealties, that sort of thing?
