Hmz, we are here playing fantasygame, in fantasy world. I think we are doing
fine, if we keep in mind that here is players from various
cultures/religions. I dont see any problem to rp raping/killing/torturing
who knows what. The line should be drawn somewhere, but what others find
offencive and too graphical, others find it just realistic. In my opinion
Dennings RP was too detailed and coulda been done with more "carefully".
Tom/Titans are the ones who make the rules what can be done and what not.

Personally, i have been warned by Titans atleast once, it was totally my own
fault. I didnt mean to step overline, vice versa... but when i readed my
message few times i realized that i said something what i didnt mean to
say.(it was about telling nobles not to join tournament). So i apologized
from Titans and expressed that point understanded and taken.

I have also felt that i will quit, not because i have been punished, but
because my IG friends/realm has been punished for not good enough reason, or
should i say that other realms get away from same thing in _my_ eyes. But
then again, it is Tom's game and he thinks diffrent than me, or any of you.
If he thinks I or my realm is not doing things as they should be done. Then
i need to learn to do things as Tom wants.(referring  handing over regions
as  payment of  military services and having fake war to give away regions
for military help, other was wrong, other was justified).

I feel a bit uncomfortable if we start to separate what male players and
what female players are allowed to rp. These are _characters_ which are
played as well as we can. Males cant totally understand movements of female
line of thinking and vice versa. It is scientific fact that male and females
think diffrent. I'm pretty sure that any of us has not created female
character or male character to fullfill their secret fantasies to rape... or
mayby has, but same way you could say most of us have created character to
fullfill our fantasies to kill and wage horrible and cruel wars.

Tom has created this game and he expects us to play game the way he want. We
just have to deal with it. Denning thought his RP was normal RP and some
people, including Tom thought it was too graphical and Tom LB:d Denning.
Denning made his decision that he dont want to play game which has
restrictions like these and quits the game.(which is sad, since i enjoyed
his company on this game many years).

_We_ need to understand that there is people all over world, we need to act
carefully not to intentionally hurt anybodys feelings, but we also need to
understand when other people doesnt mean to hurt _your_ feelings, he doesnt
fully understand where you come from.

Personally, i will stay on "safe path" with my RP's. There is no written
rules what can be played or what cannot... which is kind of problem, but
which is also gives us unlimited possibilities to rp.

If you get bolted/punished/warned... read message what you got, read
messages where you got that note. Logout, get a long walk. Login read both
again. If you think it was unjust, ask about it from titans/tom through
email more details about the reasoning. But most of all, dont get angry :)
there is always reason why things happen, mayby you just dont understand
those reasons, or mayby the otherside dont understand your reasons... but i
can guarantee, getting angry wont help a bit.

Hmz, this message started to get too long and confusing, to even my self :D
Point was:
Have fun, let others have fun too. Ask forgivness and forgive. Learn and
teach.
