All right, I'm stepping in here.
If I am overreacting, I apologize, but I would like to address some concerns I've had that have been building over time.
I appreciate disagreement between PCs when done carefully, with an OOC openness on all sides to resolving the conflict IC without resentment building. Disagreements are a normal part of life, of course, but in a party-based, text-based game such as this one, I would very much like it if we can keep them to a minimum, and try to avoid using them as a standby for something to RP when things are slow. If they do continue, I have two requests:
1. Communicate openly and honestly OOC about the intent and expected resolution of the disagreement, so that there are no misunderstandings. If I am needed to rule on something, please ask. Make me the bad guy. I'm a teacher and I have three kids, so I'm used to it. :)
2. Do not make statements in posts that the other party has no possible way of replying to IC, sometimes referred to as 'think posts'. My personal preference is to avoid posting about unvoiced thoughts, but especially in relation to another character, as that character's player can only read it, and has no opportunity to comment. It's not a fair give and take.
I have very much appreciated every single player and character in this game, and I very much want to see you all succeed and prosper in the game. I do not expect everyone to always get along IC, but wherever possible, given the fact that this is supposed to be a fun hobby, not a mirror held up to our often screwed-up world, I ask that we cooperate as much as we possibly can.
