The entire discussion here is amazing to me... and LONG... Just caught up!
After careful review of everything written here, my summery is... PTHHHHHHH
We are all characters in a story here. We take the actions we wish to take, yet we are subject to the world around us. Play your part...live or die...thrive or fail...fight or fly... Take your lumps and carry on.
I love the GM interaction. I think every island should have some sort of GM NPC... It can help eliminate stagnation. Sure, your realm/character/friends/plots/plans may come to an end because one noble fakes one letter... Or perhaps that one letter (and the response from it) is what it takes to stand up as the Human race and prove that the Daimons are not the strongest.
*shrug* its our story to play out. Stay in character and do your part.
All the OOC arguments only take away from the game. I learned long ago to avoid OOC arguments because they nearly ruined this game for me. I could not understand why I was being attacked when I did nothing wrong but play the game the way my character would.
I learned much about human nature through those flame wars against me... and the end result is I am still here playing...and the flamers are not.
Be civil... do not react... we are all here to play and have fun.
Now... go kill some Daimons.
