[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5426877, member: 59506"] I can't answer the question. The scenario is too general and vague. Is this purely an in-game character, role playing thing...? Or is it a player angst thing...? If it was a "player" thing, and it couldn't be resolved by simply talking to the other player, I probably wouldn't play in the game anymore. That's a little too serious and "wierd" for my gaming tastes. But, if it's just a a totally harmless in-character role playing thing (which I think is what you intended), then it would depend upon some other factors. If I were a somewhat chaotic or evil character, then I'd keep calling him "Chase"...and look forward to the inevitable fight.:devil::D If I was an honorable or "Good" character, then I'd respect his wishes. But there are other available options: [LIST] [*]Temporarily do what he asks (but not out of respect), and save the information to [I]"push his buttons"[/I] later. [*]Tell him that in [I]"my"[/I] culture, to call someone by their first name is disrespectful until the other [I]"allows"[/I] it. So I either need to keep calling him by his last name, or compromise and simply call him [I][U]insert class name/nationality/culture/religion here[/U][/I]. [*]Use an alternative form of "Chase", such as [I]"Master Chase"[/I] (or Mister, Monseur, or some other title). [*]Use a derogatory form of "Chase", such as [I]"Chaste"[/I], [I]"Chaser"[/I], [I]"Chaseless"[/I]... [/LIST]For me (as others above have said), it would all depend upon what kind of character I was playing. Sorry Diamond! With the answers in this thread you're probably wishing we'd just answer the damn question!:o You're probably starting to feel like a beleagued movie director dealing with a method actor who stops every scene with [I]"So what's my motivation here...? Why would I be doing this...? This doesn't make sense!"[/I] ;) [/QUOTE]
