[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6100225, member: 4937"] Right, because the blame always lies with the Lawful character, rather than the Chaotic character who always insists that he's continually breaking the law and stirring up trouble because he was "only playing my character". I think I dectect a bit of bias going on here. That being said, Javert and Jean Val Jean have a lot of 'campaign time' together. Javert is the police inspector while Jean Val Jean is the mayor for years, invoking the Clark Kent rule, "Gee.. I just can't recognize this guy who has become my life's obsession, it's like he puts on glasses/a coat and is completely different in appearance." Then later Javert as the spy and Jean Val Jean are on the barricade together, with Javert's role as spy forcing him to stay out of character. If this was an RPG though, Jean Val Jean almost certainly did this deliberately, because he would have needed the Jean Val Jean's player's permission to have Jean Val Jean in his backstory. They planned the rivalry from the start which wouldn't work in the context of your average PnP but probably would work in the context of a LARP or MUSH. [/QUOTE]
