Subject: RE: [eqbards] new guild and new server?


I've got one guildmate who, in an effort to RP more, say's Hi in guildchat,
then turns it off. She's also got RP flag set. So, basically, if I miss
her Hi, and do a /who all on the guild, I'll never even know she's around to
hook up with. :(

I take a different approach. I look at guildchat and /who as being possible
because of gnomish inventions called Communicators and Tricorders. ;^) I
also have no issues personally with conversing with evil races. My two
guilded characters, bard and rogue, feel associating with the dregs of
society is a necessary part of their profession.

I have not yet found an IC way around discussing strategies though. That
information NEEDs to be clear & concise.

Peace
Evulia <Sisterhood>, Tunare
