[QUOTE="tylermalan, post: 5644186, member: 30929"] Oh, but I [I]did[/I] answer the question, further lending credence to my belief (hitherto unstated) that most people aren't reading this thread, and are merely reacting to the in-game stuff that happened as though THAT'S what this is all about. It's not. The question was, from the OP: And my answer, on page 2, was the following: It is also clear (from the thread starter's other posts) that he wants to boot the problem player (who he obviously thinks is the fighter) but feels as though he can't. Remember, I'm not claiming that no one is answering the question. In fact, I'm rather confident that most people [I]are[/I] giving suggestions. At the same time, I'm not going to tell the OP that he asked the wrong question - in fact, I think that's a little presumptuous. It's just that I'm totally blown away by how many people consider this to be an in-game issue as opposed to a social issue, as if everything would suddenly be hunky-dory if the OP and the rest of his group came to the realization that an imaginary charm spell really [I]would[/I] alert the fighter... or whatever. Come on, people. I know that this board's purpose is to discuss the game, but I would say that I answered the social question (which is what this is) far more succinctly than anyone who provided a dissertation on the nuances of Charm Person.
