[QUOTE="Fenmarel, post: 2559227"] First off I have to say that the player of the celestial should have asked in the first place whether Re'shak's player had sanctioned the 'hit' or not. I also believe that even if the player of the celestial didn't ask the other player should have let it be known. I've had similiar things happen to me where someone is saying they are attacking me on behalf of another ic and I ask them about it ooc to clarify. I've had some players that would readily tell me if their character was just 'blowing smoke' or if they were being truthful. I've also had other players that refused to let that information out for the sole purpose that the VAST majority of players on this site can't distinguish between IC knowledge and OOC knowledge. Many players use several different characters that surprisingly know ever little detail about their other characters including what they know, have seen, smelt or heard no matter how trivial or what have you. Hmm seems I strayed off the subject a bit here. I don't think that someone should have to ask a player OOC if their character can lie using their character's name or description in some deception as long as they aren't going as far as making SN's that appear close to the original. As long as the players involved at the time know that it is a spoof all should be fine and dandy. Unless someone just doesn't want a particular player doing said actions I don't see a problem with it. I've seen people ask things like this before and it has even gotten as far as one player wanting people to ask his permission to even mention his character in any way shape or form. If I want to deceive someone by saying another character hired my character or asked them to do a hit on someone even without the other player's permission I am going to do it. I'll make sure that the PLAYER knows the distinction. If I have to start asking permission for every little thing that my character might do or say what is the point of trying to roleplay? I play a couple of characters that lie about EVERYTHING to keep characters guessing about other's motives and actions and how they might effect them. There are enough restrictions on this site as it is without having to play 'mother may I' with every single aspect of our character's lives. Hmm guess that is why a few others and myself have pretty much given up on this site and have moved on to other avenues of roleplaying enjoyment. Jason [/QUOTE]
