A second reply from one of the players.
I am the player of Linalya. First off i have to side with Brit. We came to you Rory out of respect trying to make this a situation that is now heading where we feared. One of the greatest things i can give to my dm's is to be into my character and involve myself with who she is, is to be cautious with what others do with them. It's why i spend time with my characters and work on the histories. My concern with the way the story hour was, was that i have had dms manipulate my characters in the past and place them in situaitons that they would not have done. The actions sometimes portrayed by Linalya in the story was not what she would have done. Although she may have enjoyed elven wine a few times she was in no means a lush and 2 fisting the drinks. She wouldn't do that. We asked to stop the story hour because we felt that if you were going to take notes, that those notes would transfer to the story hour. As a writer myself i like to be able to expand and experement, but i have not taken any other characters i have gamed with and intergrated them into my stories. The understanding we had with the story hour was for you to write a story but with a little inventiveness. What you have failed to Rory is to expalin to the lurkers the real reasons why we asked you to stop. This is almost an affront to us and makes us look like we are nasty gamers who have no respect for our Dm. Of course we appreciated what you did, but we didn't ask you to put the burden on yourself, you asked to do it. For any lurker out there understand that there was a civil conversation about this last night, but obviously the point was not taken the way we had intended. I have over 15 years of xp in gaming. I have been through my excellent dm's to my ok, to my manipulative dms. I have been a really good rpger to having my not so greates days. We all do, but this situation is now becoming one of a martyr. As i am sure BRit is and those who will read this in the group that will take a chance will be burning with some anger and some resentment. All sides should have been explained and if this is the way you felt last night, maybe you should have said something Rory.
