Well said. I think Cloud forgets that her own character has been saved by this same hesitation to enter CvC on more than one occasiont-ice wrote: The other side of this coin being that before the LG person came smiting down in his duel, or called in The Law, in fairness the reprehensible evil person should have been given the chance to sneak into the LG person's bedroom and murder the witness in his sleep, no? DM attention for that possibility likely wasn't there, so how fair and non-meta is it to smite down when the 2 PCs happen to meet on the road IG, and the level difference of the PCs is known? Would the LG PC act the same if the players knew the evil PC was two levels above the good than below?
For a long time ALFA has been steadliy playing favorites for the goodies. It is downright laughable that anyone would look to the rare instances when it is the goodies having to hold back and declare that something should be done about it
Cliques and factions are a good thing, they make our fantasy game seem reasonable in the sense that it really is sort of stupid to meet some strangers in a bar and go fight goblins with them. Most people should be cautious with who they rely on in dangerous situations or who they trust to hear their secret plots while on an adventure
The time to be open minded is between game in chat. I think we have extended a hand to play with us to just about everyone we have seen declare in chat that they had no one to play with or was bored alone. Even had someone turn into a pathetic rude little snit on me for the offer, but the rate at which people decide to try playing with us is encouraging in spite of the bad seeds that actually have OOC cliques we have learned we would not want to game with anyway
