Your world/concept is so nicely thought through, I just hope I can adjust and do it justice. 

Okay, no rush. I should have time tomorrow night to take a look and possibly get something up before the weekend is over.

If some lower level people were trying to join, I assume their reasons would be more full of hope if they need the money and possible recognition, despite maybe not being as well suited for travel and combat. It could be interesting but I see weaker players in that case, being more harmful and might not be accepted by say, some of our more better skilled folks.

Post length doesn't bother me. I sent someone 8-9 paragraphs for an intro because they said theirs run long, apparently that was too long for them. I would prefer breaks every say...9-13 sentences just so it doesn't look too bulky. I also do space them according to cadence and tone but I haven't really run into problems unless someone doesn't down a double enter and the paragraphs are still connected without the space between them, then that gets to become an eyesore...
