' Wrote:Mind control on the other hand... Considering in the original game that needs to be done at point blank range, I don't see how it works when almost a click away with a vacuum inbetween. I would OORPly simply refuse to be subjected to it: Auto-fails.
I don't think anyone has ever tried "from a distance complete mind control". What we can do is project images/impulses into your mind. I.E. to Admiral Malexa in her RM BS stopping a Bretonian trader we once went *You see a scan image of the ship, it's carrying a full load of cardimine.*
Malexa went along with it, the poor Bowex went "what the hell?!?!11!?!!!" and everyone had a good time.
As to the specific ID clause this thread was about, eh. If someone reports us for having a good RP encounter with the RM, I would be very sad.

And there it really is in a nutshell. Thank you mwerte for pointing out this little thing. Kudos to you.
RP, especially with any of the nomad/wilde/aoi contingent, is a two-way street. The player behind the character has to be willing to go along with the RP of the player behind the other character. That's not just for squishy-RP either, but for everyone. Give and take and everyone wins.
