[RPG] [FEI] A busy day for the headsman

This is my one and only OOC message on the subject.

According to Dyre (and I didn't know this beforehand), he had me on ignore 
when he was in the dungeon. I don't know why as I've barely ever spoken to 
him OOCly. The only thing I can think of is that he accused several Lasanar 
nobles (of which I may have been one, I can't recall) of using Menelmereth's 
secession as a giant OOC witch hunt to get him, personally. As I imagine 
most of you can think of easier and more creative ways of 'getting' someone, 
I'll let you be the judges of whether or not we went to all this trouble 
just to get poor Dyre.

As I recall, when you ignore someone, it says 'your guards have orders to 
kill any messengers from <person> on sight.' Now, obviously he's in the 
dungeon so he's not going to kill the jailer, but I took this to mean that 
'ignoring' someone has an IC equivalent. Of the five Ardh Osai prisoners I 
have, I have sent one message to two of them and two to Dyre, Ates, and 
Rekoi; none were replied to. Game mechanics prevented me from deporting him 
(as he was 'new to his realm') and as I couldn't speak to him to secure any 
other arrangement, I took pretty much the only option open to me.

Dyre's suggestion that I interact with him here would have necessitated not 
taking being ignore'd ICly, and that's a slippery slope I don't want to go 
down.

This message is intended as a purely OOC notification to the rest of you 
(i.e. not Dyre) as to why I (the player) made the decisions that I did. I'm 
not going to engage in a flame war or make any additional replies to this 
thread. I have nothing to prove to anybody and I don't represent the players 
of Lasanar or anything like that. I have only been in the game a few months 
and I hope everything that's happened at least makes sense.

Thanks,
Sam
