Perseonally, I'm a bit hesitant to view the whole SqP
Apprentice/Journeyer/Master thingy as a hierarchy. Certainly I wouldn't
like Masters overriding Journeyers at will, etcetera. Now, I know that if
this thing works Masters won't be stupid enough to abuse their powers, but
still... Therefore I tried to limit my Terminus Wiki demo to simple
things, and most of them in the case of wiki's should come down to: either
you're an Apprentice (which is really easy to become) or better; or you
aren't. In the latter case you are not yet a full member of the community
(I like the word 'Observer' for this role) and therefore regarded with a
bit of distrust and limited in the amount of harm you can do until you
gain trust. A sort of careful tit-for-tat-strategy ;)
