Sorry, this is my first PBP game. By "I thought I was the DM" I'm assuming I overstepped my bounds as a player (maybe by stating how an NPC reponded to my character?). I was just thinking that, in a place like that, my character would be interacting as much with people as possible and since no people were described, I tried to make up as arbitrarily uninteresting people as possible to interact with.
Let me know what I did wrong and I'll change it (now and/or in the future).
