Priests/Priestesses to the Giants?

Seems like there should be some extremely long term/high skill goal of getting to be a priest/priestess for a giant.  Like, you can gain special skills (and also maybe act as a moderator/admin) with special tools associated with the giant you are a priest/priestess for.

There are a couple advantages:

1. Gives a very long term difficult goal
2. Creates another set of community, there could be a hierarchy of low level priest/priestesses for each giant, etc.
3. Creates a way for the public to interact with the giants (devs) in a more orderly fashion as things can move up hierarchy.
4. Creates a large set of admins which can solve some problems and/or bring them to the attention of the real admin/dev team thus allowing them to concentrate on other things.

  • I thought about this as well, and often when I read the Giant leader boards.

    I think they should be more like Giant Groupies.  I'm not big on heirarchy.  Nor do I think it should be associated with any kind of Admin/Mod rights.  Dev's get a ton of feedback the way it is right now, and we certainly do not need players telling players what do it... eek!  (just read some of the forums)

    I agree the Groupie could have a extremely high level skill in a Giants specific focus like Zille in mining, Cosma in meditative arts.  Perhaps it would require the groupie to constant maintain a certain level of favor with the Giant? Or contribute a certain amount of favor per Glitch Month.
    Perhaps it could lead to community projects ex: build a shrine, build a temple... etc.
    Perhaps the said group could commune on a certain day during the Glitch year and hold a festivity or holiday for their patron Giant.
    Perhaps there could be a slight mood/energy boost while completing a task in the Giants realm as long as you are still a Groupie.

    Lots of possibilities here... but definitely would keep out the need for people to have some kind of superiority. 
    Thanks for starting this thread!  Great topic!

  • The giants aren't gods, just giants, so maybe... Assistant? Apprentice?

  • I don't think they are technically gods... but then again we are figments of the giants imagination.. so doesn't that make them gods by default?

    Either way... being a groupie wouldn't matter what you wish to call them...  tee hee.. .but Cosma is my rock star :)
