[Discuss] Role playing with OOC knowledge.

[James]

OK, one of my characters assassinated someone on FEI "Role Play 
Island".  It was a "perfect" attempt, surprised and wounded while 
sleeping.  Their player, who has another character in the same realm and 
now region as he was assassinated sends me this message *
Letter from XXX*   /(2 hours, 20 minutes ago)/
Message sent to all allies in this region (3 recipients)
NZER JR!

You bastard! What the HELL did XXX ever do to deserve your assasination 
of him? He was only 17, for Luna's sake!

Now he lies dead, in an Osaliel morgue.

Do you have the guts to fight me, or is it simply easier for you to 
sneak around attacking unarmed youngsters?

He is obviously using out of character information to determine that I 
did it (the only infiltrator in the region when it was done last turn 
(along with another)) but then role playing about it.  Also using ooc 
information to even know that I'm in the region (clicking the message 
everyone in the region option and seeing who's there that shouldn't be), 
because my skill is over 60 and thus I don't show up on scouting reports 
or in the region.  These are things that have to stop on FEI or just 
make it not a role play island and just make it EC Jr. or Atamara Jr.  
There needs to be some sort of punishment for the power gaming.  I don't 
think this case warrants a report to the titans, but we need to have 
someone there that can say "don't do that again or you're off the 
island" and then when you do it again kick you off the island.  You can 
set it up the same way as the titans are.  A group of three people and 
it takes 2 out of 3 or perhaps all 3 to determine that something is wrong.
