I mean I was just pointing out how every single person up to that point was only expressing interest in playing as a servant. Plus it's also from experience lol, I've been on this site close to a decade and pre-guildfall was the period when I was most active (I mostly lurk in recent years) and there was basically a fate roleplay every other week back then. I've been in too many to count with just my hands by this point.

Most people don't want to play the role of a master due to the reason Reflection pointed out and those that do end up designing your typical GAR/UNIQUE/ONE-OF-A-KIND kind of mage where they're a 15 year old supertween OR cunning and tricky deviant OR a homunculous with a tragic backstory OR some rugged guerrilla mage who is pragmatic and realistic (gee I wonder where that idea came from) which is ironic because most mages in the TYPE-MOON universe are of the stuck up royalists archetype. Throw in some amnesia with any of those characters and you've got yourself the average master that is designed.

Don't even get me started on servant stereotypes >_>".
