Job organization

I'm thinking of adding a weekly poll where people vote in their character job focus. This will make it easier to keep track of what we have specialists doing and what we need more people doing. By adding a poll for every week, we keep it updated in case people go idle, die or leave.

For this to work though, as many as possible of our active members need to vote every week.

So far, I'm thinking of pooling together various skills into profession specializations. The various specializations should be able to perform one trade skill as well as supply itself with the neccesary raw materials for production.

Mark though, that these profession specializations are only what your character's PRIMARY FOCUS should be, not EVERYTHING your character lives for. He should also have a good handful of other skills as he feel or as the situation dictates, of course. A beastmaster can specialize in PVP to help out the warriors. A Clothier can get some farming and gathering to help the peasants, and so on.

My suggestions for these specializations so far are:

Mason - Clay-based profession, making pottery and building stone objects plus bricks and brick objects such as roads and walls.
Skill suggestion: Pottery, Masonry, Stoneworking.

Ranger - Combat-based profession, doubling as hunters for leather / killing menacing creatures, as well as warriors to protect us and be agressive during hostilities.
Skill suggestion: Combat-based skills depending on your preference (Unarmed, Marksman, Sword, Axe) and PVP Skills (Rage etc).

Peasant - Farming-focused profession, needing high perception to gather berries and weeds for seeds, as well as cooking skills to utilize the profession.
Skill suggestion: Farming skills (Farming etc), herbalism skills (Herbalism, Plant Lore), applicable cooking skills (Cooking, Baking etc), Beer making, Wine making.

Carpenter - Wood-based profession, who can provide us with all wood-crafted objects.
Skill suggestion: Lumberjacking, Carpenter, Wheelmaking, Boat building

Blacksmith - Metal-based profession, to make metal tools, armor and weapon as needed. Also needs to be able to support itself with metal through mining.
Skill suggestion: Metal working, Locks & Bolts, Mining

Beastmaster - hunting and animalkeeping as specialization, this character needs combat skills to survive the taming process (i think?) as well as the right animal care skills.
Skill suggestion: Hunting, applicable combat skills, Animal Husbandry, Cooking, Sausage making

Clothier - a combination of tailoring and leatherworking. Since leathergathering is pretty heavily combat-based, and clothmaking requires linen and silk, this focus somewhat depends on other people.
Skill suggestion: Cloth Making, Bee keeping, Sericulture, Leather Working

Skills such as Lawspeaking, Prospecting, Cartography should be kept to a low number of characters, since several with it is pretty much a waste.

That's my suggestions so far. Please comment and add your own suggestions, or tell me which I should remove or modify - for example, I'm not very sure the Clothier has a proper role, or if it should just be up to people of proper jobs (Farmers, hunters) to pick the applicable skills for it.

Once I've seen enough feedback, I'll add a poll.

i think it's pretty good idea, because its just a waste of LP otherwise.

im not sure about a poll,maybe people pm you or post here what they want to do, and you put in the first post.
and when 20 people want to be farmers and only 3 want to be beastmaster then so be it, cause i dont like the idea of telling people what they MUST DO.
i guess it's ok to make suggestions
