[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 7090696, member: 17607"] I was not aware that secret missions were tradable, especially on Facebook. See the section on 'Cheating' in the ALPG. Also the following in the ALDMG: "Make decisions about how the group interacts with the adventure; adjusting or improvising is encouraged, so long as you [i]maintain the adventure's spirit[/i]." The section goes on to discuss not using house-rules or changing the rules of the AL, but the reality is that the DM has the final authority for interpreting those rules at the table. What counts as a house-rule versus an AL rule is, ultimately, up to the DM. It's weird that I keep getting responses like this -- heck, I didn't even turn away the guy who said he'd finished SKT at 4th level and had no log to support his assertion other than a couple of magic items. What I did do was "make decisions about how the group interacts with the adventure," which helped preserve the fun for the other six players at the table by not letting the clearly abusive character do what he showed up to do. Just because you have a '100% legal' AL character doesn't give you the right to make the game all about you or your character. But sure, make a fuss to the admin. Hope that works out for you. Your Curse of Strahd DM was right to be upset, because you and your friend were being dicks -- though what you were doing was not illegal, it was problematic for exactly the reasons you state, and if you ask any admin, they will say that such play, while allowed, is discouraged -- especially if (as seems likely) your DM specifically asked that you not play other adventures while participating in the Curse of Strahd game. Though the FAQ only mention's Wheaton's Law with respect to adjudicating Hazirawn, it's a solid rule for all AL DMs and players to follow. As noted, I seldom turn players away from an event unless they are being disruptive (in which case I have the full support of the Code of Conduct behind me); if, however, you insist on being a dick at my table, you shouldn't be surprised if you find your 'fun' to be less privileged than that of the other non-dick players at the table. -- Pauper [/QUOTE]
