[QUOTE="Eidrog, post: 2559233, member: 11952"] Basically, what this comes down to is common courtesy. . . Which there seems to be a lack of sometimes in the ISRP. However, having said that - I don't know what the right solution for this problem is. . . It should be perfectly fine for characters to lay blame on other characters. . . Even if it's lying. . . Not all characters are truth-telling angels, now are they? In fact, I don't see any problem with the chaos that resulted from blaming Re'shak for ordering a Drow to strike a Celestial - It just has to be role-played properly. . . Characters should be asking other characters questions. . . Eventually word will get around that Re'shak is ordering attacks against Celestials! When Re'shak hears the news he should be choked! People are laying false blame on him for acts he didn't commit! He should jump into the action and try to figure out where this absurd nonsense came from and put a stop to it! It should be fun, and should try to be done [b]In Character[/b] It's reasonable, I suppose, for players to ask Re'shak OoC questions about the scenario. . . But all Re'shak's player has to do is say he honestly has no idea what's going on and is trying to get to the bottom of it. . . It's certainly not anything that players should be getting mad at each other for! . . But that's just my opinion as to how it should have been played out - a lot of times players take in-character events personally, and quickly become offended. . . In the case of this situation, I don't know who to lay the blame on. . . Unfortunately, it sounds like an interesting situation that was just met with a poor reaction. Eidrog [/QUOTE]
