> 1) The imm didnt even ask about , or even rp with me asking about the bracelets.
The IMM who interacted with you sounded like the Voice of God - basic rule don't argue with Immortals.
> 2) The imm wasnt BoltThrower, Therefore holds little if any understanding as to why I was empowered.
Assumption
> Me: You NEED a reminder?
> Yes, its part of my Rp
Cant remember basic concepts? *sigh*
> Me: Then carve a note on your hand. Embracing such taint only taints you.
- I like this!
> For a sily answer I give a silly reply, Im wearing gloves... How do i see the note carved in my hand.
- Severe lack of imagination...I can hear God telling my paladin to do this in anger.
Especially Nothing should be carried out by a immortal who isnt of your faith.
- Really? How do you figure? Myths are full of Gods screwing with the lives of mortals.
> If the Immortals are so up tight about RPing. Why dont they do it themselfs.
- I bet they got to be IMMS through RPing as part of their package.
BoltThrower in Rp should get really pissed off with the imm who removed my empowerment. How dare another Immortal interfear with his followers..
- I would give you this one, if BT favored you as his chosen one.
> This is why they have holy wars.
- Umm...not really. There seems to usually be some fundamental difference in worldviews or arguements regarding territory/rescources.
> The follower can only do wrong in his gods eye's. They should not be able to be punished by anyone else but their god.
- Again, you as a mortal go screwing with another God's followers are likely to find that God a bit miffed. In the long run, any God can smack you if they choose and their face never has to be revealed...it is rude to ask their name btw.
> If the immortals disagree on this, then perhaps they should re-think their compulsary Rp rules.
- What a difficult statement. Basically stating that if the Imms disagree with what you say, they should redesign the game to suit your view.
Be open for other views, and read what others have to say. Think carefully about what folks are trying to tell you and think equally hard about what you are trying to defend. Think of what you will say if BT agrees with your unempowerment.
Good Luck
