I was good, they were evil, and they wanted me to leave for a repop of a good MOB, so I said no. Next came a series of tells and says filled with four-letter words, then they attacked a mob with area spells, fled in my general direction, then when the mob arrived, they attacked, and the mob started area spelling me too. Pretty crappy role playing if you ask me.

But in the back of my mind it still felt like that was something the IMM's intended to be against the rules. This elite storm situation seemed to back that up (although, yes, someone died from it) Then with Sebeok's answer, it seems like this would be perfectly ok. So I guess what I'm looking for is...if this kind of thing happens again to I bring it to an IMM's attention? Or do I just chalk it up as having to deal with some of the @$$holes we have to deal with now and again in CF? Either way, it's not something I personally would never do. Why? Because it's a game and at the same time I show up to have fun, I want the other people that play to have fun, and this kind of thing just makes for no fun. Like when you die (from slowing your groupmate who SAID he trusted you) then go to retrieve your corpse but some level 1 moron took all your stuff. Or even worse when you're an elf and the level 1 kid is also an elf. Ah, but I digress.
