I just don't get it. I mean, literally its a nonsensical attitude when the goal is to play a game which is fundamentally cooperative in nature.This CLEARLY and unequivocally gives the authority to the PLAYER to decide they are going to get an audience with "a local noble" where the 'a' is pretty clearly (and I passed my SAT with a perfect score and got Straight As in English in College, I'm not guessing here) meant to be one of a class of nobles picked by the player. When someone says "do you want a donut" they do not mean "take this donut I'm shoving in your face" they mean "take any one of what is on offer here." Now, obviously, that may be a very limited, or even non-existent choice, but the PLAYER gets to choose from what is available! PERIOD.Your character will be treated as a member of the Ruling Class within the society he is a member of, and I would also expect that to extend to other societies where his position is reasonably equivalent and similar social norms exist. If he shows up in the Dwarf Kingdom or Elfland, he'll get his audience. If he shows up at an orc lair the response might be "we ritually murder and eat the hearts of enemy leaders, GANK!" OK, but you'll at least get your minute with the Orc King to say whatever clever thing you think might get you out of that.All this nonsense about GMs who are the only one who can say if its 'sensible' for this or that to happen, what a lot of bunk. I call it!</blockquote>
