Using OOC activity for IC crap
-
There were several occurances recently of "X Faction wasn't online when the city was attacked" being translated to "X Faction didn't give a fuck about the city being attacked and left everyone to die while having a chat about the weather"
Don't do this, really. We're not going to spawn token npcs from every faction in a battle and cause a lagfest, or penalise players for not being logged at the right time.
This applies in general to any plot event too, there's a huge difference between a faction ignoring something entirely for the duration of a plot and not being online for a particular event.

And actually, I did spawn token NPCs who died quite valiantly just because I wanted to make sure no one thought anything like this.

Reminder for all of you who have been saying: "Oh, I save Arabel while faction X did nothing but stood there".
Cheers.

A reminder that its not okay to give people crap IC for stuff like this.
Balors will be spawned on offenders.

Again. Please do not do this. This includes accusing players of not doing anything just because they are in a DM coverage dead zone. We all have RLs to deal with and play when we can. Often this means missing all the cool stuff happening IG.

I second this. Please be polite to those who are not able to log in all the time.
