      I keep seeing this over and over: Being super active, doing tons of shit. Who's definition of shit? Who's definition of active? Are the people paired in twos with a partner with goals like "Fuck Lola again" and online every day in a private bedroom going to be the ones pulling ahead, turning in all those beats and the dramatic failures at Stamina + Socialize for being a bad lay going to be earning as much as the people who are running plots for others or being organization important?

      The disenfranchisement isn't just "I won't catch up to dose guyz." The disenfranchisement is when someone's circle jerking the system for unlimited private growth with zero interaction with the wider game, pulling ahead but never being jeopardized in that process, gaining ground because of devotion to turn ins without compromising their character to achieve, only to turn around finally and stomp across everyone's table, kicking everyone's sushi every which way, impervious to everyone's bullets and claws.

      It takes like three seconds or less to cut the BS I write in purely for my lulls and to read an actual point: Will abuses in the system be pre-defined with a rewrite of the system given, or will we have to wait six months after the game opens to see these clarifications? Will minor, arguably repetitious actions, that affect a minor number of people for 4 xp a week be allowed, or will they become about Staff hovering and having to resort to telling people no, repeatedly? And what happens when the threshold differs between Staff? What if one sort of minor submission is permissible to one Staffer, but not the other? An argument can be made that you're gearing up on multiple fronts for unappealing Staff-Player moments.

      Nobody likes to read the files, see nothing wrong with the ideas they have in those files, only to do their thing, repeat it, and then get told 2 different responses by 2 different Staff. Or worse, to pit one Staff vs. the other over it. So maybe circling the system could be addressed before you open the game? Is there any chance? Or will we have to wait 6 months to see it addressed?
