Though I'm still swamped with work and it'll take awhile to put some developments in place, I've been collecting information lately for the purposes of improving Essence for the future.
In the spoilers, I'm adding the most recent results in for your viewing.

Thank you to everyone who votes: It's tremendously helpful.

who was the other dude voting marketing? Or did it let me vote twice? not sure

That was star.

He was a wolf at marketing back then.

Woof

I did market once, I got 20k, too bad I didn't save it, lost it all D:
So I am kind of a marketeer, but I'm not as smart as Jsnuff, the highest tc I have got from marketing is 25k.

I has no skills other than compulsive OCD D: oh noesssss.

ooh.. Forgot to select music. I'm starting to dabble a bit in that as well :P

Thank you to everyone who has voted. It helps tremendously.
I'll leave this poll open a while longer, but again, thank you to everyone who has participated.

Apparently we won't need to worry about future leaders anymore. ;o

Leadership, hosting events, multiplayer and music (making mixes). I host events on other games and not really toribash. The events aren't anything big . I did once host a toribash event with some friends though, it wasn't really an event I broadcasted but we just all got together and I had like 1500TC on me which I didn't need so we played that shaolin mod where you fly at eachother with swords and the winner got the TC. It went pretty well

Hosting events, making replays, music, marketing... ish.
Edit: Art!
