Duty Recorder Forgotten?

[Paladinleeds]

It should be turned on by default on all duties, and players who don't opt in, are replaced with scions or other storyline-relevant NPC's.

It's a rare occassion but I agree with you. Yes, it should be turned on by default. Log the items the players are wearing (you know, for the sake of stats), and if someone doesn't accept it, you have it roll a random player character look for them (so let's say I didn't agree to it, you might instead get a Lalafell male instead of an Au Ra female). Replace the name with a random NPC name (like Momodi, or Nanamo), if you don't want storyline relevant NPCs (since I'm not sure how all of them will work, e.g. Ultimate, are there any storyline-relevant NPCs for that?)
