[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5890090, member: 6673727"] Do you mean, should we be worried about the relative lack of detail on deities which is necessary to provide stricter guidelines for adhering to their tenets? I think you hit on what for me is a salient point by referencing the impact the rotation of GMs/gaming groups principle to LPF has for these aspects of the game. I find it to be the ultimate double-edged sword of LPF. I love large scale, immersive effect that playing with different characters and different GMs in different settings brings. On the other hand, I find the inconsistency to be [I]very[/I] frustrating: certain GMs have very strong expectations from their players and their characters which are not shared by anyone else, and yet they nevertheless impose those criteria on players who wind up in their games. I find this to be insensitive to the communal nature of LPF. Anyway, I'll avoid slipping into an out-and-out rant. What I mean to say in response to your point, mfloyd, is that I feel as though an issue such as adhering to the tenets of one's faith is one of those things that falls by the wayside in the transitive, communal context of LPF. Personally, I don't think this fact is worth fighting, since I feel it could lead to potentially straight-jacketing GMs to an unwarranted degree. Not that you were suggesting we should do this; that's just why I'd be against an LPF-wide decree requiring a stricter enforcement of these sorts of aspects of the game. Hopefully that strikes people as being constructive. [/QUOTE]
