Since grurk's early days, anyway. Since Grurk's time first dropped off the first time he took a hiatus, the imms overlooking trib have had the following duties....

smack down mistakes. Induct if noone is in a position to induct. promote cities if they have sufficient time on duty without mistakes. appoint a provost if someone deserves it based on criteria no mortal knows other than the nebulous "do good work"...which is more than a little impossible when you are stationed anywhere but galadon at a time when noone is taking the scales when you are online.


Nowhere in there is mentioned anything about teaching newbs.
Spire morale. patting on the head. conversing about legal particulars in order to instruct/test members. Acknowledging the existance of any but 1-2 mortals, and those usualy only if they are of the imms religion. give a punch in the shoulder and a "buck up" when steamrolled by criminals. etc.


Now, I know more than one that hoped the existance of a new imm who would actually be visible and is just a tribby imm would fix the lack of any immteraction above the bare minimum to keep tribby barely working.

Heck, even astein, in the early times, would interact (sure, it was an assholish role, but fun to interact with, and he wasn't above interacting).

I might be wrong about the new imm, heck, I don't have any first hand experience one way or the other, but I haven't heard any "Thanks for the cool interactions, Marcantis" or "Damn you for the interactions, Marcantis" posts...both of which are preferrable to the complete silence that the law cabal got for many years under the absentee mom Bria.

The way I look at it. Just expect the imms to do the bare minimum with tribby. Tribby has been the red-headed stepchild for a REALLY long time.

And by bare minimum, I mean, promoting people up from seantryn before they delete from boredom, and keeping at least one person with the induct power so that they don't have to bother inducting.

Sure, most of us would like the kind of lovin Thror and company used to give to Battle, but that just isn't ever going to happen, especially with tribby.

just accept it instead of whining about it, and make up roles that don't need any imm acceptance or acknowledgement, and realize that you will probably spend 100's of hours as magistrates in cities other than galadon, sitting doing nothing because let's be honest, only galadon gets 99% of the action. If you want to play tribby, accept that, and deal with it, and have fun despite them, not because of them.
