so if someone has a problem with it, and you've gotten the ok for doing this *one particular thing* from me, it'll be discussed, but you wouldn't be punished, only warned that "Hey, yeah, um Twist was wrong, so don't do that anymore."

The problem is, in answering you, now, on a forum, I'm sure we'll see a rash of people doing all sorts of OOC things that really COULD be done IC, in the game, and claiming that "Twist said it was ok."

Clarification: I personally wouldn't have a problem with someone testing out thief skills on someone they knew, ooc.

Basically the line in the sand is when does whatever you are doing have the potential to screw other people over unfairly? Knowing what your thief skills do, to me, does not do that.
