totally agree with glaumring here. people rp their characters' internal monologues all the time and send them out as messages. everybody's going to be a mind reader now?
i was pretty pissed at how the sundar thing was handled, but after playing this game so long you gotta know that, aside from a very small collection of players, most BM players, especially rulers, play this game extremely conservatively and will sell out their realm mates in a second just to not look bad. even when the people they are looking bad to are totally inconsequential.
we (shulee, geg and I) campaigned pretty hard for sundar but in the end we were met by a chorus of "he is in their jail, he must have done it, and he totally could have destroyed xavax with his horrible actions!"
piss poor rp all around and disappointing reaction to a potential conflict-sparking action.
