[QUOTE="Tharivious, post: 2955337, member: 28105"] Heh, I can sympathize there, as I think I can safely say most of the other players behind Sril've Cress can. We had the same sort of quasi-stalker thing going on with a certain few individuals who refused to leave the organization's characters alone in spite of repeated in-character and out-of-character statements of such. Unfortunately, to quote an elephant themed episode of The Simpsons, "Some people are just jerks." Can't get bogged down by it, just ignore it and hope they get tired of running into the same wall time and time again and go away on their own. Rather like with spoiled children, take away their toys and they'll run out of things to do in due time thanks to the atrophe of imagination that fixation on things rather than ideas can cause. ;) That said, Trelian hit the nail on the head. Nothing can be done about someone watching a fight in the clearing, or following to watch in the 'free setting' areas. If those people can't keep the difference between in-character and out-of-character knowledge straight, take pity, not anger, if nothing else, it gives you something to have a bit of a laugh about with your friends afterward. If it's that vital that something remain private and secretive, there are numerous IM programs, free java chat rooms on Freewebs accounts you can create yourself (not nearly as high quality as FlashChat or other alternatives, however), IRC, and numerous other approaches that can be taken to secure your information. Complaints of interference are valid, but complaining about someone lurking in a public chat room is like saying someone watching you walk around in a shopping mall is peering through your living room window. :p [/QUOTE]
