#40686, "I -do- think Tavlin got rewarded pretty damn hard pretty damn fast."
|
I also think he was a quality character and that sometimes, characters just have it all lined up for them in a row.
If Twist just played one mortal every 2 or 3 years and they were all rewarded this damn fast, that'd be a little sketchy. But he's played tons of mortals, at a very consistent rate over the past several years. And almost none of them reached the notoriety that Tavlin has.
And although most of them are very high quality characters, I don't think any of them were even really close to the standard of reward + power Tavlin achieved. Maybe Hunsobo and one or two others. And you can't even attribute Hunsobo's leader position to pure immproval, because Imms can't really rig the votes for emperor, thats almost entirely in mortal hands.
So I think its more that Twist continually churns out pretty decent characters and occasionally one gets recognized and rewarded like crazy, but I think other people who churn out quality characters in a consistent way could do the same. I mean, Reksah's already run his necro quest so I don't think anyone else is going to advisor in 20 hours, but...
Long story short, I think my point is that anyone who throws out characters with strong presence, PK skill, and quality RP is going to eventually get some crazy rewards on their hands too.
I don't think its really imm connections which made Twist characters so successful, though I suppose there's a definite advantage from seeing things with an imm perspective - you'll know which roles are boring and which roles are not, what kind of character is annoying and what kind of behaviors are not, and can freely plagiarize some really good RP ideas while snooping people
