Not true. Empowerment is once again a privilege in IC point of view. Yes it can be demanding trying to contact your god for empowerment. And I'm sure the Imms cover one another when one is absent. I'm also sure a note to the said Imm will help a LOT too!

Not true. I've been empowered by Jazur (who is long dead and gone before Narissa came up), by another dead Imm (who is also long dead and gone).

I live in a timezone where you wake, I sleep and vice versa. I have had more than 5 empowerment characters in my CF life and I still find empowerment enjoyable. Never had any strings with 'up there' and no problems with someone to empower me. I find most Imms are keen to empower you if you can RP (or try to) or have a decent role to assist them understand your character.

Sorry if it didn't work out for you. Or others.

Never had this problem. I log in, pray, rank up about 2-3 ranks, then pray and more prayers (plus notes and stuff and interaction with guardians, etc). I'll slow down at 15 rank as the PKers tend to grow larger. Latest empowerment is at rank 16. Most are between 9-13.

And "sorry boys, I must leave your group as I'm not empowered yet" is fine with me. Even when it is a good group and I'm a non-empowered character. So far, I don't have any issues with groupmates when I tell them early that after this last run, I'll be seeking blessings from my god. Sometimes I squeeze in another rank or more.

Sorry if there is mis-conception about my reply on the tattoo post. Wildgirl seems to be writing about tattoo.

I still support empowerment all these years. Beats me.
