Mark
I understand this has probably been discussed, but I can't remember the thread and thought to start a new one - if incorrect please point elsewhere/close this thread.
Recent changes to the mark have made it more competitive for being an assassin/champion. Recently (by recently I mean over a real life month, on the champion side, there have been 0 contracts available that I could take.
All of a sudden 3 contracts appear and I take on based on the description, thinking it seemed the more interesting one. I accepted the contract and spent about a week or more waiting for said person to be online - the contract never ticked from 30 days.
Today I was discharged for not completing enough contracts, even though I had an active contract. Seftin, as most people are aware, has always hopped class and played most houses/factions etc, though throughout it all he has always been a mark or a champion, now he is not due to the "timer" saying he was being lazy, when there were 0 contracts and then when he got one, was discarded anyway.
He now has to wait 10 years (4 rl months roughly) before he is able to reapply to the mark.
I am curious as to what the thought process behind this change was? Not only was I mark to complete contracts, but also as part of Seftin's RP and to create interesting PVP scenarios (getting jumped by other marks and non-marks to "test themselves etc).
Can this be changed to a yearly "fee" where you have to pay an amount of gold to stay a mark, or even take into account having an active contract? If my contract had expired or I had failed it, I could understand, but to be honest, this is just shit.

Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
And @atalkez - you don't know the half of it.
I really liked being able to pick and choose contracts back in the day as it allowed me an element of RP in what I chose and why, although fully see why it was changed.
It should also take into account the play time of the other player if it doesn't already
