Alright. I have a ginormous question.
Why in the world are we having the Grand Tourny to fight for positions in the NS, if the characters knew their previous roles before it fell? I thought that since their memory was so screwed over that they didn't know where they stood in their first life?
From the Nightstar thread that is in every section board: "Their memories are also skewed to begin with, so this means that they remember family and friends but do not know their rank."
From Adé and Andy's fight: "The ape hardly knew the strength that Adé had, let alone how hard it was to get position as the second-in-command Foot Soldier."
"I wasn't a warrior for no reason, Andy. Especially one of the Alpha's Guard. Time to get serious," he smiled, pulling the machete out of it's sheathe on his back."
And in Adé and Azalea's fight: "As leaders of their respective ranks, Warrior and Footsoldier, in their first lives, it was something that she figured would be close."
I'm not trying to be rude about this, guys. This is an honest question with not a single snotty remark about it that I truley want to know the answer to.

Well, the thing with Maria is that she specifically had a better memory than the others due to the circumstances of her revival. She wasn't revived in mass like the others. That's just pretty much specific to her. Her grave wasn't in the same mass grave as the others, but rather near by in an individual grave. This is because she was Talon's mate, the one who buried everyone. Fang was the only other one who got his own grave, but his memories were specifically suppressed. I'm sure that Quinn also forgot about this clause while writing his post.
Also, we're doing this so we just didn't name people into certain ranks. This way everyone got the chance to have a higher rank in this new pack, that's why we're having the tournaments. We figured that it would be better and a good way to produce activity as such, if everyone had a shot at these new, high rankings. It was explained as such so there was a roleplay excuse as to have the tournaments. Not only that, these characters are not claiming these ranks in this life either. Nor would they assume the rank either. We would not do that. We are simply attempting to flesh out their backgrounds. It was already LONG established that Maria was the Head Warrior of the Nightstar, even before that pack was thought of being made into a part of this site. I've had many roleplay posts where Angus referred to his mother having been a Head Warrior before this was even thought up of. I saw no harm in her knowing this based on the fact that it was already established in the past if anyone read my roleplays. As for Ade, it is not as if Quinn is still claiming the rank, so I also see no issue there.
The majority of people would not and do not know their rank, obviously. However, there is little to no harm if everyone did know their rank but was willing to prove themselves again to ensure that it was still a good fit. The idea that everyone's memory was so messed up that they couldn't remember was a more simple excuse to give in RP than something else.
The provings are to ensure good fits into ranks, because many people don't do their job in their rank, even in RP. So, we're trying to fix that by promoting people into better fitting ranks. It's to promote interest in higher ranks and to possibly have people work for it. Sadly, not many people signed up for a higher rank that didn't already have one.
Personally, I feel like this would have been a question better directed toward me and Quinn through PM rather than publicly calling us out on it. Sadly, it seems rather rude to do so in this manner, even though you did not intend it in that way. Just pointing that out, it seems like you're publicly trying to make us look bad through this, which I do not appreciate. I can understand putting the quotes in but honestly? That even further makes it seem like you're trying to make us look bad. :/ I understand you're not doing this to try and be rude, but please keep this in mind in the future when bringing such issues up.

It's fine. I just wanted to point that out to avoid it in the future. lol Besides, I'm sure if you hadn't pointed it out, someone else would have noticed and asked the same question and been irritated with us due to it. I hope the explanation was sufficient, either way. I'm sure if it wasn't you, someone else would have done similar. lol
