This rank is for high level bmode players only. Their work focuses upon researching and documenting fighting techniques. Often involved in training missions with military groups. Often hold sparring events.
Being that the people applying for this position will have to perform these duties effectively, I'd have no problem with fighting skill requirements.

The whole issue of lvl req vs. no lvl reqs is to keep the game centered on RPing and not on lvling.

But, you can't 'rp' being strong without being strong, you can't say "Okay Squire, show me what your made of" and have the squire you are talking to go *kills everything in sight in one sweep of my blade*

The only way to improve RPing is, however, to get the heck on tag and RP until you are blue in the face.
Period, simple, only thing that ever encourages RPing is RPing.
You can blame every other thing until the sun burns out, but unless you come on and make the effort, RPing doesn't happen.

That is how I am trying to get RPing to happen, by doing it.
It works, blaming everthing else does not.


There are game mechanics, and that effects your capacities to do certain jobs, if you can show you can do a job regardless of lvl, I would expect they'd be considered.

I doubt if someone restarted, that they'd be bumped down a rank.



he showed a great capacity to inspire the military, run training exercises, teach the soldiers to work as a team, to fight as a single force. He trained excellent bowmen and footmen a like.

I like to think when I was FM, I did a good job, and I think I did because I was active and always helping to keep the armies in good order, disciplined, honorable and as strong and ready as possible, even while I was one of the lower lvl people in it.



I do think, that reacting at any mention of lvl preferences with such a blanket statement is as closed minded as saying all ranks are based only on lvl, imho.



..............About the thread though: Sounds like a great ministry
