Cal's idea is so much better. I absolutely love that!

Props to you though, Azura! I appreciate the ideas and I'm sure we can implement it now with that. Thank you for putting this up!

Sounds good on the surface but the underlying dynamics would work out chaotic.
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?
"Because it was my favourite & I like it"

Titles of "Artist", "Map Maker", "Object Maker/Converter", and "Preset Maker", etc might cause chaos among those who create things to customise the game, some may display those titles to appear better than creators of the same thing lacking the title, I also think that people wearing the title(s) may be thought of as the game's official/chosen creator of presets/maps/objects and the like.

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.

Well, if what I think from what Cal said, you could choose which you are best at and it will display on your profile. That means anyone can do it and have that chance to have it. Not just one person is assigned to it.

^ Aye, just like anyone can choose their species on their profiles as it does not directly apply to one person.
People can give themselves roles, but they won't show up as anything special. It'll simply display on their profile and mini profile as the species custom field would.

I can definitely see where this would get messy :(
In the case that someone would get the role, if they somehow were removed by not their request (i.e. for being inactive, no longer actively helping, etc)- there's a large chance there could be some revolt from that.

However I really do like Calvary's idea! It would be a great way to show off what you're passionate about in the community as we have all sorts of wonderful and talented people here! Artists, Coders, Map Makers, Info Nerds, etc! ♡ I'd love to see a list like that!
