[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5037790, member: 2011"] I think it important that you brought this up. Like any RPG, PBP is a group activity. Every person in the group has the right to influence the group in many different ways, both IC and OCC. This is not a sole right of original players, nor is it a sole right of the DM. I am rules oriented. I prefer to play by the rules and not throw them out the window. Although the rule here is not explicit, it is implicit. I brought this up as a discussion point. I did not bring it up for a vote, I did not ask renau1g to change his game, and I did not bring this up in game. I am not trying to force people to play a certain way. I was, however, very interested in people's opinions on it, found it to be a bit problematic as played, and do enjoy discussing things like this in detail. I do, however, have a strong opinion on it myself. And now that it has come up for a vote and since I have a strong opinion on it, I will lobby for my preference. It is important for you to express this concern about one person trying to change something for everyone else. I really do understand it and I think everyone has the right to discuss changes, even if a majority doesn't want a change. I don't have the right to force everyone or even anyone to change, but I have a right to discuss it. If you consider that KD creating waves, I cannot do anything about that. I hope you understand my concerns on PC telepathy and the reasons to interpret it in a less loose fashion, especially in a PBP environment. You don't have to agree with my concerns, but I hope you understand them. I agree. With Kalidrev bringing this up for a proposal, he is trying to force all DMs here to play it the way he wants it played. I personally think that this proposal should be scrapped and we let each DM play it the way he wants in this case. It would be nice if WotC clarified this though (as a rules oriented person, I do prefer rules clarification over rules obscurity). I do see Group Mind as basically worthless if played one way, but meh. It wouldn't be the first worthless feat. [/QUOTE]
