You shouldn't use that term, imo.

Are those same immortals also going to be providing 24 hour administrative coverage for our Russian brothers? I bet they aren't. Sorry Murph, you are indeed screwed and your argument is valid.

I take it you have never played a character that didn't follow a god. You have new gods now and maybe you all will make an effort to change this, but lets not pretend like cabaled immortal follower and uncabaled immortal non-follower get anywhere near the same level of attention. Up until this change, that has been fine. We had people to PK and stuff to do to gain edges. Shrinking playerbase and bad changes have changed that.

Invalid invalidity, see #2.

I think they put far too much weight on the impact of edges too. Unfortunately, you don't get to go in their brains and tweak the broken parts. Instead, you have to remember that they are human just like you. They probably poop, fart, and eat garbage like everyone else. Try to tailor the game to your players.
