Disapproving of a class - does it violate the IRs?
« Topic Start: September 21, 2011, 07:16:21 AM »
If I were to (entirely ICly), express disdain for an infiltrator solely because of his choice of class, would I be in violation of the IRs? Keep in mind that I wouldn't be directly telling him not to play the class, just that my character would be disgusted that a noble would stoop so low. I understand that IRs aren't to be touched with a ten foot pole, which is why I'm getting clarification before I develop my characters in that respect.

I am pretty sure you cannot complain about someone's class.

The game *does* give honor penalties to infils who get exposed... It's not supposed to be viewed highly of, but still...

I don't think there is anything wrong for accusing an infiltrator of being dishonorable, low, etc. for their class-specific actions.

Just as there is nothing wrong with accusing a trader of the same thing for trying to trade on the black market. Or a warrior for killing and raping the peasantry with his troops.

There's nothing wrong with IC complaining about infiltrators, as long as you stay clear of telling him to play a different class.
