And you did threaten to kill me on my second day in the cabal (which was about 2 weeks after my first as I was unable to play for a bit). I told you where I was, and told you to come and try. I then didn't hear anything from you. I assume this was either because ooc you didn't think it was quite fair to kill the semi-naked ap, or ic because you were afraid to try after making the threat. However, I've always thought that a threat has to be followed through on if you are not to lose respect for making the threat in the first place, unless the guy capitulates to you.

Regarding the ic and ooc issues, I don't think I have a problem splitting ic and ooc. I don't find myself overly emotional about cf. But you cannot separate all ic and ooc knowledge.

Here's something you said which implies that ic and ooc should have a link. You say "if you promise not to take stuff ic, you shouldn't take stuff ic. Don't make the promise if ooc greed is going to make you break it, instead of ic respect making you keep it". How do you know it isn't ic greed, and that ic the guy has no respect for your partially ooc policy of not looting?

And when I kill someone and he says he isn't bothered, I then have to decide whether he is telling the truth or not. However, I (or rather those who killed you, which I never did) now know that it IS bothering you because of your posts on Dio's, and this is probably going to influence the decision.

An analagous thing is that if someone posts on Dio's that the XYZ is a great sword because of its prog, and my character without id or lore finds the XYZ, he's going to hang onto it. Are you seriously telling me that you'd sac it because to all intents and purposes it appears to be a crappy sword? The sword of Zurcon to your necro, for example? Why doesn't your lowbie character put the cloak of death on each time he finds one lying around? To some extent your ooc knowledge cannot be separated from your ic knowledge, unless you are going to tell me that you don't use your knowledge of gear when you play a character without useful lore or id.
