Speaking of Divine, how hard would it be to have a SHOWOFFERINGS <divine> command to check your personal status on the offerings log of an Order you are not in? Mostly because I offer to my family patron, which order I am not in, and I don't always want to have to go pester people to find out if they are in that order, are high enough in it to see the logs, and then to tell me what my offerings stand at.

It would be nice to have that even for orders you are in, so you can see just the amount you have given instead of how much everyone has given.
A simple idea in explaining it, but perhaps not very simple when it comes to implementing:
Allow people to hold several positions at once. For instance, the GA of a guild can also be the GM and/or GC. Perhaps exclude certain combinations (the only one coming to mind is CL/GM). This would solve the problem of guilds not having enough people to fill all their seats.
And a discussion lead from one thing to another, and voila, another idea:
Allow artisans to craft furniture as packages, which could be bought from shops or simply given to people. Anyone can then ASSEMBLE <package> to create that piece of furniture where they are (assuming they're allowed to place furniture there in the first place).

Double edged sword, that. What is to stop one popular person from grabbing all leadership positions to get maximum family honours, for example? Or simply to hold them out of spite with a cadre of voting puppets to back them up? Should really have restrictions that it only counts as one family contribution. I'd say for contesting if you contest someone holding multiple positions they cannot be a counter-candidate, but then of course that leads to the question what if the contesting person is really not suited?

I want apply-at-home tattoo packs then :P Tattooist picks the design and the imbued power, you buy it on a scroll, and rub it on the bodypart. It becomes a permanent tattoo. The power needed would be going into the scroll when the tattooist creates it.

That could be solved by having the needed votes increase the more positions you held. For instance, votes are divided by positions+1. That means if you hold one position already, you'd need 66% of the votes against someone with no positions. If you hold three positions, you'd have to amass 80% of the votes.
If it does, then the people who bother to ask me why I'm scrying them don't know about it. Or don't care.
It does.

"cadre of voting puppets". If you're talking about Seconds abuse, I can assure you that the admin look into that pretty carefully.
Otherwise...if the person is popular enough to be voted for multiple positions by his own guild AND commune, then that's just legitimate popularity. Otherwise, opponents of his would win.

No, I meant a hypothetical situation where voting because someone is in your family or they promised you some sweet perks or some such happens. Surely you don't believe every candidate wins just because they are the best for the job :P I mean sure, in most cases this luckily is how it is, but thinking it is always (going to be) so seems a bit dangerously naive in my opinion. It's a game played by human beings, corruption is gonna happen. And I consider that part of the intrigue, sure, backroom politics can make for great plots. But at the same time you need to be careful that blatant abuse doesn't become an option.
That said, @Ssaliss made a great suggestion there with the vote weight increase needed.

Please make all sprinting give pacing. ie. if you can sprint, you can follow someone who is sprinting. Or put Pacing in Combat or Environment or something.
Or not. Stag already is focused on 1-2 powerful skills with a bunch of filler crud (Like Crow), with the majority of strong totems abilities farmed out to artifacts and common skills.
Pacing is really not that good anyways, I promise.
It would be a convenience change, really, to give pacing to people who can sprint. Makes sense too. Alternatively, just delete pacing and integrate it into sprint/glide/whatever as a passive effect.
Less simple idea: Give Stag and Crow better things so that we can poach abilities from them that shouldn't have been made totems-specific in the first place.
You can have pacing as a mid-tier environment skill, as long as the squad pacing thing is still Stag only. Or if the squad pacing thing goes in (as part of Combat, perhaps?) if the Stag version just works on everyone allied following the Stag-user, regardless of squad status.
Coming back, I'm trying to hit the RP hard and emote out even relatively simple things, like idling at the nexus. There has been a good string of simple things getting suggested and being run with, so:
PLEASE consider adding these RP boosts:
- Prefaced emotes:
EMOTE (Tutting under her breath,) corrects your posture using a long stick. -> Tutting under her breath, Enyalida corrects your posture using a long stick.
- Custom POSEs. Limit these by characters, perhaps 80?
POSE (Materials spread across the table,) is here writing invitations. -> etc.
-Emotive actions, like SIT, STAND, GIVE, TAKE, EAT, WEAR, LIE, etc. These would need a reference tag for relevant items (and therefore would have to include said item), the target person (for give, etc.), and your name. The way some other games do it is the command followed by a colon, followed by the emote string (obviously, the exact character's don't matter). So:
GIVE ANTLERS TO DAIN:Bowing her head $me reverently hands @thing to @recipient.
-Says in emote. This one might be a little complex, but it's been asked before. Essentially, make it so that anything enclosed in quotation marks displays in 'says color' for all of the viewers. I have mixed feelings about this one, because the stenographer and BOND LISTEN- type abilities then wouldn't catch it. Personally, my best solution to that would be to upgrade all listen-esque spy abilities (so, hunting bond listen, ribbachi, and crow spy) to also see emotes in their room. The stenographer and thoughtstealer could just take the says parts and condense them into a normal says display.
Concerns about abuse can be allayed by some simple restrictions. First, make it so that all enhanced emoting (or just plain all custom emoting) obey's masochism timer. That way, you can't reasonably use any of it to screw with combat. Second, some of the advanced uses, like posing, can be restricted by level or play time. A level 50 level restriction would make it harder for throwaway trolls to wreak any enhanced havoc with inappropriate emoting.

An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

Every other IRE game has varying versions of this.

- Fink language for Finks (Speak Finkish)
- Special racial emote/emotes for gnomes
- Special racial emote/emotes for finks
Edit:
Some suggestions:
gnomeexamine <item>:
<gnome> takes a closer look at <item>, carefully examining its makeup and structure, perhaps for a future project.
Mommamia:
<fink> rubs his stomach, exclaiming "I could really go for some momma mia stew".
Pacing is really not that good anyways, I promise.
