As far as IC justifications can really go, anyway. People get attacked/fall ill/whatever in public place all the time. Plus, the setting considered, wouldn't a marketplace frequent by people who are often seen using power magic be a perfect place for a pesent who was on death's door to go in a last ditch attempt to get healing? Particularly if he couldn't afford the services of the the local cleric or whatever.Now, to the main point:Of course you can play your character however you want, but I don't think that's what these threads are talking about, and its certainly not what I've been talking about.I'm talking about how we treat each other out of character. About ignoring people who we think are "inferior" for whatever reason. About trying to perserve our little cliques while ignoring even big things like someone dying twenty feet from you IC. About mistreating people who happen to Role-play differently. About why so many new players just give up and walk away or go beserk and get banned.In our drive to excel at role-playing our characters we can't forget that there are real people who really want to be accepted out there. We can't hurt them in the name of "playing our character".I'm not saying your character can't be a jerk to everyone, but the players should not be.</blockquote>
