> the difference is that its a lot easier to fool an avatar than the imm, because (at least for folks like me who cant conceal themselves well), you always know when the avatar can see/hear you. i rely on the reports on others when i can, but my opinions are largely formed in my little one-on-ones. maybe i get fooled sometimes. but cyradia and sacer might be watching you at any given moment, and youd never know unless they wanted you to.
I understand the difference, and agree with you. It is much easier to fool an avatar, but (at the very least)
avatars can be "communication conduits" to the immortals. Khiravn sits down and speaks with a potential Maran,
and sends a note to Shokai with what he thinks for example. At least the process can get started.
