Topic on Talk:Order of the Baristas

This is a permanent link to the first version of this post. You can view later versions on the post history page.

You make a lot of good points here, I really appreciate the proposals! I especially love the Order of Orders revamp. I've had an issue with how religious this whole group comes off as for a while, but I never had the time or energy to figure out how to reshape it.

That being said, the fact that there's some amount of a mystical quality to the Order and coffee itself is what drew me to the Barista lore in the first place, and I'd be pretty bummed to see that taken out completely. While I'm all for the removal of the religious overtones, maybe we can find a middle ground that leaves space for roasters of Thunder Plains Arabica?

I like the fact that the name of each Order informs what it is they do, so if their names need to be changed could they be changed to something that reflects their focus? I'm low on mental energy tonight so I'm all out of catchy titles at present 😔

The only other note I have is for the Holy Bean rewrite, I'd like for the new section to lay out that they're a nomadic group. The idea that they're a branch that focuses on learning by traveling and sharing knowledge is how their lore has grown since the original writing of this page.

Also, while I was not there for it myself, I know someone went over to talk to the flowers about history section in like... season 9? So there was floral input on it at the very least, though I also have no idea how up to date that is.
