Players are consistently told that if they just go on and do their own thing, they will naturally attract people to them. But if all of said people are already involved in their own thing, how true is that, really? There's no doubt the right kind of player can attract all kinds of positive (or negative) attention to themselves to create roleplay. But not everyone has that kind of magnetism. Should they? Are we better off if we are only attracting those kinds of people to the game?

I definitely don't think we need more Nobles. Judging by the lack of role call (Despite opening up all of the Noble Houses), I imagine Staff think similarly. Allanak has just enough "Top Heavy Leadership" IMHO at the moment, and not nearly enough low-level/grunt/red shirt types. If there were even one or two more Nobles, there wouldn't be enough Aides for them, even, TBH.

Plot generation is a very delicate thing, and it requires both leadership creativity for inception, and low-level grunts/doers for activation and completion. Tip the scale too far in either direction, and everything grinds to a halt.
