[Slydria]

I really wish when I said this:

Reserved Thaumaturge says "(Hope that's an illusion or a costume or something because you can't play a literal stuffed animal.)"

You would have just simply replied with yes, it's a costume. That would have been the end of it. Sending mixed signals with vague answers just complicates things.


I will admit doing it one-on-one would be preferable but the only way to directly send a message in SL2 is via GM Warning (which is a one way communication) and I wasn't certain if you were breaking the rules or not so sending one like that wasn't really a good idea to me. So I just decided to show up in person to try and sort it out.

Mostly didn't keep it private or contained to reassure that it's being dealt with. Not to mention, it might be informative for other players to know some of that.

And yes, I should have just said I was a GM from the get-go, though I just assumed everyone knows that and it didn't cross my mind that you didn't know, I was just under the impression you were just playing hardball.

That said, it really turned into a bigger deal than it should have been. So sorry about that. I really wanted it to just be a quick confirmation too.


On a sidenote just a couple of things I wanna mention:

- The joke faces thing. I'm on the fence about it. While it sometimes irks me, I don't think I'd consider it rule breaking. And using an actual picture of a human for a profile is okay but since most people use anime style pictures, it is pretty jarring when it shows up.

- As for playbys, here's the deal. They're acceptable to an extent. Pictures are fine but when it starts including things like the actual character's personality, descriptions, names/aliases and so on, that definitely treads into blatant copying which is not acceptable.
