[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3143968, member: 29014"] It's actually the opposite of this--he doesn't always pick the right tactical option--no one can--but he doesn't miss the facts he cares about, particularly the salient ones. This is a salient obvious fact. It is a DC 0 Spot check for someone who cared about it. You admitted that you would have mentioned it right away if I had asked for it out of character without needing a spot check, yes? This indicates, and I think that that's about right, that there was a net 0 probability to not notice this by someone who cared deeply about checking this. And thus, if you would have handed this information out immediately with that OOC question, it means you think Zaeryl didn't care, wasn't checking. This is hence my 'conflating OOC with IC' statement earlier. In my mind, it is just as egregious as the bed. I think that I've given a good case to establish that I'm not just making this up retroactively or something and that I sincerely considered not only that this was a priority for Zaeryl but that I had communicated this multiple times. Thus, I think it is exactly analagous to the bed thing in this case, or the not-looking-at-the-ceiling. I think that despite having my image of Zaeryl destroyed, I probably would have continued playing out of obligation to my fellow players if not for the fact that I realise that I would be a pain-in-the-butt in a game that is run this way where you have to ask the GM or you lose important details. I would be constantly badgering about details with every post, and I think that would bother everyone, including me, but you see why I am essentially forced to do that when you as the GM 'pull one past us' like that unless we check with you on every detail, right?
