I'll do one for the Maelstrom, since people are after it! Nice posts here, didn't expect it to hit 3 pages so quicklyÂ
Dat Marshal uniform.

As for my input into the RP, I do play a character who is higher ranking (I tend to leave it as vague, and people rarely ask specifics), who is often very, very busy with a variety of commissions and such. She does not have time to sit in the taverns. She does not have time to solve your problems (but she tries to make time to do so anyway). That being said, she's sometimes requested to work in tandem with other GCs in larger scale efforts (read: Primal threats, etc.), so she's not completely tied into only Thanalan for work. She absolutely does do the majority of her work there though.
I've never really used her position as a way to throw her weight around or push other characters around. I HAVE used it to prevent someone from pushing her around though, once. Other than that, it's a big part of her background and personality development, and explains her often tight schedules. She does have her own side ventures (she does run the Sails for the Captain), and does command groups at times, but she generally prefers working with people who don't NEED commands. A lot of this does take place offscreen, so I don't worry about the fact that I don't currently have a uniform appropriate for her rank.
I generally don't nitpick at people who play the game however they want to play it. I don't always agree with the people who RP as being high ranking, particularly when they clearly don't act in a way that's appropriate, or if their age is WAY too young to have advanced to that level already. But I don't really have to agree with how someone RPs their character. I figure it's their business, and as long as they don't try and screw up my RP (read: be a raging jerk), I don't really mind.
