Tan is the leader of the Rogues in Avilion. He wants the rogues to become as much a part of the life of Avilion as the other combat classes and this is going well. The rogues recently introduced a “minimum activity requirement” for those who are full rogues – all rogues at the meeting agreed it was a fair and reasonable step to take.
Now consider my alternate character within Avilion – Sharl Darkstone.
Sharl became a knight in February 2008 – one of the last before the squire programme was introduced. He does not do much combat but he does supervise CTA’s and attend the knighting ceremonies.
I consider it unfair of me to keep Sharl as a knight if he is not active in being a knight as they were intended to be played. By that I mean taking part in CTA’s, training others in combat and running classes. It would be hypocritical of me to speak of getting the rogues to be active and yet sit by with an inactive knight.
In reviewing this I have made what some may consider to be a very obvious discovery. Having an alternate character is all well and good for role-play purposes but nobody can devote the time necessary on two characters who are in combat classes.
Squires work damn hard to get their knight title and full knights who are not active within the knights group shame these squires and tarnish the shining beacon that is knighthood.
It if for the above reasons that Sharl removed himself from the knghts today.
Sharl will very much continue to be a part of Avilion. I need to be something other than a fae at times and he is that outlet
