[QUOTE="Patlin, post: 3674629, member: 17264"] I checked a few dictionaries, and they don't have perfect agreement on the definition either. Here's Merriam-Webster's: I think it depends on the purpose. If you have dinner because your buddies, you're associating, and a code violation. If you have dinner in an effort to advance some good cause, to try to redeem the villain, to gather information (maybe your palladin is a cop and the 'dinner date' is his snitch) or otherwise to conduct some sort of business, that's perfectly OK. Your snitch isn't your partner, friend, or companion... there are lots of reasons you might have to deal with someone that wouldn't make the person your associate. Heck, you might even have the head of a whole order of Paladins dedicated to Heironeous asked to serve on his Lawfull Neutral monarch's council, right alongside the head of an order of Knights dedicated to Hextor. Showing up to the King's council wouldn't IMO violate the association clause. [/QUOTE]
