Sure - I think the weekly report is 14+ days late so you can deputize to publish it whenever (will still push ahead with the changing cards to blots, so if that goes through it will be a little more currency-tracking-like). On Thu, 1 Mar 2018, Cuddle Beam wrote: > I confused Referee with

I agree. There are ton of vacant or semi-vacant offices right now that you could take, what with G. being in like 3 things he doesn't want and Alexis having just left. There are probably more offices than players at the moment, and we're struggling to fill holes. This is a good way of encouraging

I disagree—many offices involve a lot of work, so it's only fair to reward it, and for a reward to be meaningful if needs to be relevant. It's not unfair; if you want piece of the pie, vacancies come up fairly frequently. Gaelan > On Feb 28, 2018, at 8:27 PM, Cuddle Beam

Blots I don't know. Calling them Blots sounds the best, but that's been used. Stains would work (they're stains on your soul), but it doesn't have the same ring as Blots or Rests. Temples we should just call temples or shrines, because those are generic terms at this point (unlike churches,
