Help Hero

That's all that is being revealed at this time.

Not even the Heroes themselves know more, so don't immediately drop OOC and pester them for details. (Which is what I saw happening to a couple of them.)

There are probably also some characters that don't know they are Heroes yet. If you haven't logged into all your non-retired characters recently, I would recommend doing so.

I'm guessing, given some of the characters sporting this flag, that the term "heroic" is being applied pretty loosely?

People weren't asked for permission to be flagged?

These are Heroes in the historic SK sense of the term: AKA a person of distinguished qualities or ability. No specific alignment is implied.
The selection process is very specific and well defined. How it works will be explained in the future.

No. And that's a very odd expectation to even bring up.

I wasn't talking about alignment. I was talking about the fact that there are flagged heroes who display absolutely no heroic qualities in any sense of the word, completely aside from the alignment-based, "heroes are good people" type of definition.

EDIT: To be clear, and to frame my concern in terms of historic SK heroes, these are people who, if it came to a tournament of candidates, would fall so far behind the competition that they wouldn't even register in placement at the end of things.
