I'll go ahead and make it known that my interest is rather predicated on [i]not[/i] leaning into the "houses" notion. Based on my understanding and observations of player mindset ... I'll place a rather confident bet that such would essentially reduce down to "edgy Game of Thrones," which suffice to say is not what I'm signed up for.

I'll also say that "casual-advanced" is something that can actually do quite some harm given the nature of this RP (on top of my other reasons I dislike it). It takes one person being edgy for the sake of being edgy to ruin the seriousness for everyone with what you're going for here. That is to say you should always [i]advertise[/i] to the casual audience, but I would still call the advanced section home. Because of the story to be told here, I think that's a better and ultimately safer decision.
