Firstly, before we lock this one too, allow me a few things...
1) The internet sadly lacks the tone of verbal speech and thus can be tough at times to interpret the tone one meant their words to be taken in. What I meant was to further flesh out the backstory for Nine. No PvP actually took place so the issue is moot really. But...I did want to know for my own peace of mind had I correctly judged how to handle the situation? Since Nine was the DM that advised me I addressed it to him, however since DM opinions vary I figured I'd get a few responses from others as well, thus gaining a fuller picture of the DM attitudes toward the situation as a whole. Also noteworthy here is the fact that any IRC chats I have had where Nine was involved have been pleasant, so I in no way meant this as a personal attack or as a WTF n00b! I figured the rest of us involved in the situation could benefit from any info you offered as well, so, again, this was in no wat meant as inflamitory or meant in a harsh tone or one of ridicule.
2) Calculor: I'm a laid back guy who can't play half as much as he'd like. I don't get riled by IC or OOC stuff. I value all your opinions and consider you all friends. This was mearly meant as "knowing the whole story, did I make the right choice?" Nine had to act on the too little info he had at the time. I was simply asking; "Now that you have the whole story Nine, did I do the right thing?"
3) Metropakt: We have played together for quite a while. So long in fact, frankly, I'm awestruck at your post. I'd be happy to explain why, of course, but that's really something that may have been just a tad inappropriate to mention here, no? It could perhaps be a bit of a hidden message type thing, but that sort of OOC info is damn near an FD on my character. The very point of my post was that I take matters of FD seriously and that I respect our DM opinions. So much so that wanted further info on the opinion. I added the full story so Nine could decide if I had indeed made the right choice. No afront was intended. Nine can be a real comic on IRC (so much so he is often called out for trolling) so the post title was meant as an attention grabber, not as a real " HEY U WTF?!?"
Lasty, to all involved accept my apology for getting your collective underwear in a bind. I meant no offense, nor to question anyones judgement or ability. I was mearly seeking to flesh out the situation further and determine if my decision was right in the eyes of the DM involved. As I said, the internet lacks tone and I beleive i was taken a bit out of context here. So, rather than explain myself fully to Nine and have the rest of you think I was being an ass, I hopefully clarified the matter here for all. Anything further that needs saying I'll PM or take to IRC as suggested.
Thanks for your time guys, and sorry about the mess ;)
