Where we differ here is that you think you have the answers to any of that, and I really don't.

I don't believe I'll be doing that.

The reality is that people who play games, like to talk about those games. OOC friends playing the game gets you way-ass less far on CF than any other similar game I've looked at. I will surely be quick to condemn players who cheat to fetch their friends gear and the like. I'll scowl at the passing of item lists and maps. But this? This is too far to go.

As a player, I like to talk about the game. I like to theorize about untested character ideas I think would be good. I like to say things like "Hey, what if I made an arial dagger warrior to be in Empire, with these RP quirks and motivations, and let's say X, Y, and Z are my standard re-gear set after I die... I wonder if that'd be any good?" This doesn't strike me as being that far off that kind of metagame conversation shared among players of the game. There will always have to be a balance between a most fair playing field and trying to scold players for things I couldn't enforce in my wildest dreams and wouldn't especially want to.

Maybe you'll find someone else to 'shame on you' that but I couldn't in good conscience do it. I'm not that much of a hypocrite.

Yeah, I wouldn't run you over with my car in the real world or anything. Well, maybe once. Sometimes people just serially disagree.

Incidentally, I've been playing CF since the first year that it was open. I have a pretty good idea of the changes the game has gone through.
