> Enforced roleplay is a bitch. You always wonder if you are being watched. This is especially true if you are cabaled and/or empowered. Seeing many become anathema/un-empowered/un-cabaled for tiny mistakes really scares you. Spending 100 hours on a char you do not wish to wander into a gray-zone. I agree with you here. I also think that this is a positive force for CF. If you always think that you -might- be being watched, you don't slip out of role. > Telling people about stats, practice and spells in-char so that it makes sense is a joke and since you do not wish to have a *FOOL*-flag and hence no chance of getting titles/positions/tattoes you'd simply rather not help. Simply false. It's a bit more challenging to to these sorts of things in character, but hardly impossible. > Things like : tell Soren OOC: Why can't I dual wield this sword with this whip ? Soren: "Whips require leverage, warrior. You would get better control with it in your stronger arm. The sword could be in your off hand, for quick thrusts and jabs." Who would screw you over for that? > And RISK getting fucked over later by an Imm ? I agree that there are certain questions that are hard to answer. But with some creativity, they are vastly in the minority. > You'll be the judge. > Søren
> Will just keep me from answering. Why ? Because I am evil or because I do not wish to : tell Newbie Because whips must be used in primary hands.
