[QUOTE="Bhryn Astairre, post: 2559226"] Just to clear certain particulars up: I asked Re'shak's player about it, as we are very good friends, and he said he'd never actually heard of the character or even the player and would look into it. I do realise about ooc/ic but thought Re'shak's player would like to know that his character was being bandied about. I know I personally would go through the roof if people abused my character's names, and I have done in the past when it was once or twice done. Using other names to cover and foil plans is all very well, but with more varied comments OOC about it being used long term and the pm direct from the character with "(( You can blame Re'shak for this ))" I did kind of get thinking "hmmm...". I've seen only a few characters pull it off successfully, Rajak being the only one right now springing to mind and even then, those were mostly sanctioned. It's not a case of "pinning the blame IC", but more that he "Pinned the blame OOC". Those are two completely different things and with completely different distinctions. I know a lot of people would have reacted the same way as I did and gotten angry, for AJ and not for my characters. Characters are characters, they come and go like the wind, after all. Also, to point out another random fact here: AJ (Re'shak) and I are still talking and still the best of friends. Just because somethings goes balls up on Wizards does not affect OOC. If it did, I would assume that Becca and I would have long since stopped talking ;) Again, probably one of those varied reasons why I really don't come to Wizards as often as I used to.
