@brotherinlaw - First, please be more mindful of your timer. You were able to post today by sheer grace of the fact that I was not at my computer to officially declare you Idled Out. Second, meta-gaming. Fangshi, as a character, entered these arenas knowing NOTHING about the other competitors beyond what he can learn at a glance (unless you collaborated with another author to determine otherwise). You do not know details about your opponents that have not been made obvious by either their words or their actions. Namely, nield has stated that his character comes from a very isolated and remote nation that, unless you had worked with him prior to determine a connection, Fangshi would have little to no knowledge of. This is particularly troubling in that you are assigning beliefs to Ineria ("her people were particularly bigoted against those who would the darker arts"), that Ineria has given no external or verbal conformations of. This has led to you misinterpreting some of Ineria's actions - while she merely glanced at the monk to confirm the source of the spirits, you have taken her internal monologue and warped that into her giving Fangshi "the evil eye". As this hasn't impacted the flow of battle, this is just a warning, but please be more careful in the future. Base Fangshi's thoughts and actions on what has been OPENLY expressed by the competition, unless you've discussed otherwise with them, and not on their thoughts and backstories contained within their bios. @Sanctus also had a similar slip-up in his introduction post in referring to Ineria as an Illustrian - he and nield determined in PM's that it was alright for a character as old as Sanctus to recognize the symbol, but that any generalizations about her people as a whole should be run by nield first. If you wish to do something similar, feel free to reach out to your competition either here or in PM's. @nield - in the future, please call my attention to these issues when they first occurs, so that we can catch them before they grow in magnitude.
