[QUOTE="Uriel, post: 1152880, member: 8222"] Before I say anything about Jack's querries/issues, I would like to state something here, since it is the Etiquette Thread (Thanks Jack Haggerty, btw). When folks want to do something that they want the rest of the people gaming with them to [I]not[/I] know about, such as pocketing gems that they find, or giving a secret sign to another Rogue etc... it is good to go about it with a bit of secrecy. I know tha CS is fond of blacked-out taglines, which is fine 9although I am sure that some folks are tempted to peek. I prefer emails, especially if it is pocketing treasure etc... Mine is [email]bluehead69@yahoo.com[/email] Now, as frustrating as it sounds when folks learn that others are taking a bit of extra grift, it happens in all RPGs, and I (as a DM) would rather have it in secret, roll the oppossed dice rolls etc.. and then email results to the sneaky person, and to the target/those noticing if indeed the sneaky git is caught. So, in short (a bit late for that now), please make sure of what system your Dm prefers. We don't want to see 'I pocket the potion...but nobody sees, because they are all in the next room.' We are all (hopefully) going to be playing for a long time on here togther and this is sure to come up at some point, better to get it sorted out earlier than later. Ok, on to Jack Haggerty's Issue. Yes, Jack I see your point. 'Someone' should have posted by now in response to your post with a complaint if that was the case, or a Judge should have addressed it earlier. Perhaps Someone was put off by the whole thing and decided not to run their game. Perhaps Someone (it is odd using 'Someone' as a person's name...) became busy/changed their mind about running their game/whatever. Alarm at the Judge 'unilaterally' affecting your character isn't really warrented, even though that's exactly what they do. They (we) are the Judges, and their job is to try and keep things running smoothly, which means (as to the Red Dragon) characters and Dms in-groups formed-characters and Dm out on adventures. Perhas the Judge hadn't looked at the dates on the posts as closely as they should, seeing that nobody had responded in a few days. No matter, the Judge could have just had someone (not the person...er) else have a Map 'Damn it, this thing is worthless!' and throw it down on a table as they stalked out. Come to think of it, that would have been more creative, and it wouldn't have ruffled your feathers (I have ruffle-able feathers as well, so I understand your position). So, as a Judge, I shall say I hope that this is resolved and we can all benefit from it, players should not join one game and 'dip' into another. I understand Jack Haggerty's (the PC)motives,he might want to check out the Forest of Ar later. However, the DM wanted to start their game as of their post, not in the 3 months that Jack's current game might take on the PbP boards. Likewise, Judges should not jump on their Guns and blast away in their posts,as did that Judge, perhaps a bit prematurely. I am sure that nobody meant to offend anyone else in the exchange. Lastly, as [I]the Judge[/I] that replied to your actions, I would like to give a personnal 'I'm sorry' if I offended you. That being said, I think I'm off to bed after a very long night of work. -Uriel [/QUOTE]
