Who says we are talking about new players only?  Until recently, there 
has been an 800+ day player/character in Abington who is active and 
devout, and hadn't even had Lordship with any of his characters, never 
mind a chance at a more powerful position, please you are very much 
mistaken when you claim that I am speaking for new players only.  Sadly, 
in Abington, he is not the only such case there are many that deserve a 
chance who are not new to the game.

People that have played the game long enough know that there are other 
ways to hold indirect influence, guilds, religions, infiltrators, come 
to mind, and imo these positions are more challenging in terms of 
bringing influence/struggle and what not, and they lend themselves to 
bringing diversity to BM.
