[QUOTE="Kathryn_aka_Kat, post: 2564530, member: 36414"] Depends on how they describe the fireball, I suppose. "Sends a fireball at X" is okay because you can always claim your char is nowhere near X. "Sends a giant exploding fireball that immolates everyone at the bar" is not so okay, unless you're prepared to either say your char is fireproof or as some choose to say: "watches the illusion of a fireball cover the area"... cute sometimes but can look silly when others do react as if burnt. I've seen someone try to fill the tavern with a rain of blood and had it treated as an illusion or totally ignored. I didn't think of it as room disruption because they "dropped the spell after having shown their power" or something to that effect, i.e., they didn't push it. I've seen someone explode every glass in the tavern and had people, including the wizo on duty, react as if it happened. The second person did a mass PM first to say something like "I'd like this to happen, please play along if you're willing to" and of course if the wizo goes along with it then others are more likely to treat it as "real." As for fighting, that's a wonderfully slippery slope. Especially when there isn't a wizo around, I've seen more room disruption from the people pointing out the "No Fighting" sign and telling people in rather OOC terms to move to the clearing because fighting isn't allowed in the tavern than from the actual fight itself. Hard call. [/QUOTE]
