Well, remember one thing there; According to the setting Kaneka is still the Shogun. So unless he gets killed somehow, I am 90% sure that will be one of those ones that WILL be an NPC, much like the Voice and the Emperor.
Emerald Champion, Jade Champion, Clan Champion, Elemental Master, Chancellor, Treasurer, and Master of the Elements (Naka-blank)... still open but would have to be a very big deal if they were open to a competition to be labelled as such.
Of course if we don't want to make all the important stuff a big deal and leave it to NPCs, there's always lesser positons such Diamyos, Emerald and Jade Magistrates, Keepers, Hidden Guard, Kouriban, Ruby Champion, Amethyst Champion, Champions of Bushido / Shurido, and Rikuganshokans that might be more open to competition like the Topaz was.

I also think that those imperial position shouldn't be open for PCs, but I appretiate the idea of organizing more competitions for titles. Decisions about clan champions should be in the hand of the players. For example we (Lions) chose one Champion, and it works pretty well: there's somebody who always cares about the storyline and coordinates us.

Follow the example of the Lion...all will be better for doing so...

The only problem I can see with choosing a Clan Champion is making sure everyone has a voice; otherwise there are going to be those in the Clan who feel they had no say and feel left out. There is also the issue of someone stepping up after the Champion is chosen... though I think neither concern is strong enough to make it a bad idea; I know I'd rather have a vote than shrugging and following the dance of glory.

Well with the idea of voting, I don't think there will be an issue with everyone making sure their voice is heard as long as 1. The Champions don't rule too much with an iron fist, I know I make it a huge point to tell the other Lions that everything is for fun and not to take what I do too literally. Also I feel that 2. should be making sure that everyone knows that if they have a problem they can speak up and be heard. Now I can't speak for every clan but thats what I've tried to do and things seem to be working out ok, but I also know you can't please everyone all the time and my point of view is very limited, but I feel its a good place to set some informal rules for those who hold titles and want to RP, should we decide to go that route.

I'm all for the "important" positions being played by NPCs *or* being won in a competition of some sort. I lean heavily toward the former, however.

I agree with regards to anything Imperial related. Clan wise I see no problem with players at the helm, they can only screw up as much as Jay and Alison let the story allow them.

Sorry, I meant the various Imperial Champions, etc. Within the clans, I'd say each clan should be allowed to handle it as they see fit. (So I think we agree ^_~)

Honor top ten overall Glory top ten in clan Don't see the necessity for these. Rokugan has seen dishonourable Jade and Emerald Champions in the past, and sometimes the winner of the tournament was a total surprise to everyone, someone barely known so far. And in a game like this, I think it's the wrong way to exclude low honour clans or just everyone who have not started to play very early to be on the top ten glory list. The championships in L5R are about skill not about being famous.

While I like the idea of being able to become an Imperial Magistrate. Actually being the Jade Champion, or leading the magistrates should best be left in the hands of the npcs. Although players as daimyos of clans or families I have no beef with, since that I feel actually adds to the flavor of the game. I know I'd love to be the Soshi Daimyo myself.

Perhaps in the future, for these NPC lead groups there could be separate missions that require you to have the position to be able to do. Like an investigation into a Maho cult story arch for anyone with the Jade Champion Assistant position. That way the actual titles and jobs mean something in game too.

Aye, there are a few jobs like that now, and would see no reason their would not be more in the future. Although I would be interested in seeing some class specific quests at some point too.

I don't have a problem with anyone becoming the Jade Champion. Of course, all the best Jade Champions are Kuni, but everyone knows that as a matter of course anyway!
