Re: Conflict feels too much like a numbers game currently

In quakes in particular there timezone issue seems rather huge at times, like if I have three people and know the other side can potentially muster 20, there's a point where it turns from bravado into pointlessness, I mean, with good organization you can wipe 2:1 odds, if the other side is not on par with their organisation. But 3:1 and more? Then the larger force really must be messing around to lose it.

For me, the main problem is usually not, not wanting to try, but the lack of both response of an inquiry whether we're going to try something is disheartening. Also, for me, I kind of still rely on someone to actually lead when there's more then like 6 people involved in that fight. Despite a ton of gags and things, I still struggle to keep up with awareness, I can keep my part going, but tracking stuff to do for other people feels almost impossible for me, hence, without anyone being like 'hey, I'm going to try and lead', I'll hesitate.

Also, for HalliCelestGlom right now, if you lose several high profile PK-ers at once, there will be morale impacts and people are less willing to try, because those people that usually made the most impact are missing from your roster and filling those shoes is hard. I am sad this happens and am trying to do something against where I can, but I can't fill the role of one of those people. All I can hope is that people keep trying till we've somewhat balanced out or losses.

From my three or so years here: If morale is high, people are more willing to just try things, even if they're risking to lose. If morale is low, people are less likely to try things. That begins with suddenly half empty orgs and ends with people wanting to jump into combat. We can just try and our part to improve that situation.

Dorecho has left me without power or steady internet so I will be gone for an indeterminate amount of time, possibly up to ten or more days from now.

Re: Question for All Orgs: What are some professions/occupations?

Esei said:

I would not say 'ritualist' is specific for communes. Several people in cities (more specifically Gaudiguch) have used the title that I'm aware of. Not sure about priest(ess), which is also used for high-ranked people or NPCs in certain Orders.

(Unless that's not what you mean, Saran, then feel free to disregard.)

A few others that came up after, when I was thinking about this thread, were librarian, scholar, archivist, bookbinder, (literally all the trades), guard, and possibly cartographer.

Hmm, yeah no I didn't mean anything was Serenwilde specific but more that there's a general role of "Someone whose role is as a religious/spiritual guide/connection to the Wilde/one of the Spirits of the Wilde" and what term is used is kinda based on the Spirit and the group?

So, inside Serenwilde, Priest/ess just feels specific to me cause it immediately translates to that role in connection to Moon as part of the Coven.

But other groups with a similar role, even connected to Moon, might call it something different. For example, someone with the same role in a tribe connected to Moon might be a Shaman, Witch Doctor, Conduit, or some kinda poetic title (I've seen Howler at the Moon).

Ritualist is just the title/role that kinda comes to mind as more generic and encompassing for all those different permutations.
