So... Precedence is due for respect. When it comes time to confess your sins, anyone from the rank of Priest of Above is qualified regardless of your IC Rank... I thought that was the case for everything, the Order is the Order. It is a beast all it's own that EVERYONE respects because an Inquisitor has the power to say that a Noble is committing heresy to the GI and the GI can then go whip said noble for their Heretical actions. There is a deep seated fear and respect for the Order, they're the super power. Think of it as living in the Vatican and being Catholic. It doesn't matter how high in society you think you are, if you need to confess your sins, you don't want til some high ranking bishop is around to take your confession, you go to your church and confess your sins to the priest there.
I don't see how using vNPCs or NPCs really is acceptable at all except when the only orderite is the GI who is extremely busy and Acolytes who are not allowed to take confessions, which is the state we are at currently. If you use IC methods such as MAIL or a pboard to get in contact with the GI for a confession and they tell you it's cool to just use a vNPC unless it's direly important, then go for it. Otherwise, attempt all avenues of IC communication first, the Grand Inquisitor will take your RP if you want to give it, pretty much guarantee if they are available for RP they will take it.
