Basically Tjok is referring to being approached by the Ancients regarding his assessment of you. You were in the running for Sunwarden, though I was finding you difficult to read rp-wise, or just snooping you at bad times, or something.

Tjok's right in that a role is really not necessary.. but it definately can make it easier and speed up the process for an imm trying to assess consistency and accuracy of RP, etc. I.e., if an imm knows what you're supposed to be about in a nutshell, the imm can get on to the business of verifying that your character is true to himself, wheras if you don't have a role, the imm has to first glean what you're about and THEN verify it.

Actually this can sometimes be harder to do from the imm perspective than from the mortal perspective, because a mortal can approach you and prod you and feel you out, whereas if an imm does that, it's not uncommon for the mort to put on a 'show' they otherwise would never do for fellow mortals in a million years. That's why I might occasionally ask another mortal what he thinks.

So it's mostly random snooping, and a lot of that falls on luck unless you're one of the rare morts that is always actively 'on' rp-wise. If a character tends to be more quiet or has fewer obvious quirks or characteristics, it can be a tough call.

So, you were definately in the running for Sunwarden, role or no, it was just a slower process. I can't say for sure, but it probably would have gone in that direction fairly soon based on what I did see and what I got out of Tjok.
