That was really sweet, but I sometimes get frustrated trying to roleplay my english char because of the language
Guess I'm improving, though.
Back on topic: I guess it differs on each kingdom, but in some places people just don't want to get involved in something that means nothing but doing some work that most of people won't see or notice. I've seen both sides of it: since I liked struggling with numbers and was good a it I've been bribed when no one else wanted to do that stuff (in my circle we still laugh at the "I'll clean your house for a week if you sign for another 2 months" and that person is now playing cantr and I'm thinking about getting paid... just saying) because there just weren't people enough to form the 12 members counsil and also I've seen spells when people didn't even share their experience or knowledge with the newcomers and were even reluctant to give them their "seat", discouraging them to get into politics.
But all in all, when I left the government, the university counselling and that stuff, the general trend was that most of people didn't want to get into that world.
Also, now the levels 4 receive luxury points from holding some public jobs which is an incentive for them to do that work.
I really find it a pity hearing that your experience reduces to that click click tamagotchi state, I've spent wonderful hours playing that game, crying with laughter a thousand times and I feel somehow in debt and want everyone else to have the same experiencie, which is quite lame indeed, but I just can't help it xD
You've made me really curious to see how are things going in other kingdoms (:
), but having something else running on to "catch" newcomes' eyes is a duty of the rest of players, in my opinion, and most of all, one of the tasks that a tribune should take care of, at least I did it when I was in that charge and it was really fulfilling and funny searching for ideas and stories to start new playes role playing in the forum.
