[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 2136325, member: 8944"] Once more, it's not a decision of the group - it's part and parcel of a contract you entered into willingly, in order to recieve some pretty sweet benefits. I'm just enforcing the rule. Bringing in Dara was not the cause of this. Reacting in a certain way to bringing in Dara (who has important information that is being ignored) is what is causing this. Good parents don't enter into eternal oaths dedicating themselves to a group of adults and their above all else, either. It's not a regular situation, and it's silly to treat is as such. I have no qualms about saying that putting the child first would be *good* parenting. It absolutely is. The fact remains that it is good parenting that conflicts with the oath you chose to make. This is what I expect as well, and the Arendorr manor discussion continues, I think you can see that we agree on this. There has to be a reasonable limit, though. No matter how much you want Archon to swim through lava, you just can't do it without dying. Is this the *only* way that you can have fun with the character? It seems obvious that it is not. This isn't fun for [B]anyone. [/B] Nor would it be. At least of moderate importance, it would be *hell* on me. How the heck do I explain EVERYTHING that's happened in the last 4-5 game sessions if Archon broke the oath 8 months ago? If I don't enforce the Oath for this, then it has NO consequence. No force. it was meant to prevent THIS VERY THING, and now you're telling me that I'm ruining your fun for preventing it? There has to be a limit, and this is it. [/QUOTE]
