Bartender Level
After my first week of doing it, I went up to bartender. I don't feel like I did a great deal less bartending in the last week, given that I did several shifts that were several hours+ as well as several that were in the one to two hour range, but I was just dropped back to server due to 'inactivity'. Its pretty discouraging honestly to put that much time into RP and be told that you're apparently 'inactive', and see your progress go backward
On to the actual question: is it supposed to be this easy to lose bartender levels, or is this a case of unfortunate circumstance? Thanks
Re: Bartender Level
It certainly came as a surprise when I got docked back to bartender for "inactivity".
I greatly enjoy bartending roleplay, but the levels/delevels still confuse me.

Re: Bartender Level
Perhaps the various ranks could be set to take longer to achieve, but be far harder to lose? Something like a cumulative 'score' that needed to be achieved via X combination of time and drinks served to hit a rank, which might take several weeks of regular playtime, but would only be downgraded if you didn't tend bar for more than, say, four RL hours that week.
I'm not sure what the current vision behind the system is, though, so this might be a ways off from the intention. If bartender level is meant to 'bounce around' between the three ranks to reflect week to week trends of playtime, then fair enough. However, if it is meant, as I suspect, to be a sort of measure of how much experience / commitment a bartender has, I feel it might deserve a look.

Re: Bartender Level
I believe this was implemented (not only to be cool) but to serve as a boon for those that chose to stay inside and rp a job rather than go stab things for exp. The levels are there to reward players that stuck it out rather than be a measure for the barkeeps actual experience.

Re: Bartender Level
Perhaps we could have messages that suggest that barkeep lvl 'exp' is going up or down but I have a feeling that it might be intended to be as vague as the language system. Still, it might be nice to even get vague messages about performance.
