If anything, it forced immortal IC characters to look beyond their God position and have to deal with a character with their actual immortal personality

One of the only problems with this is that most of our IC personalities are very brash and quick acting. (Take note of the echos where we fight, we're not a passive lot) So in a lot of ways the best way for us to deal with you IC would've been to just obliterate you, or if we were feeling kind, obliterate your mind, or something similiar. However, since Valg hasn't gotten around to coding the 'pillar of salt' command...it was rough for us to stay fully IC...since we had to tone our own roles down to accomedate a mortal challenging us directly.

The other interesting thing is, some of us (me for example) have had about 10 years to evolve the immortal persona...so it's got a lot of complexities and a lot of 'depth' that is very hard to see when I'm dealing with you in the 'angry Shok' persona. I'd go a step further and say that most imms pretty much have a lot of depth...but 'angry god' is going to come across as 'angry god'. Just something to think on.
