 Veok,

While there may have been crossed wires, your original post fairly strongly sends a message not of 'Just checking how you feel about things so we can try to resolve our differences in a mutually acceptable manner' but 'I am immensely frustrated that you are not doing things my way.'   I read it this way because of the bolded Please the Thank You at the bottom and the generally curt nature of your sentances as well as what you had said in mibbit immediately before posting it.  Ultimately, both sentiments are fully acceptable things to post in an OOC thread.  God knows I've posted some highly... erm... forceful things in the past (and Xeadin, I do apologize again).

However, I am growing increasingly annoyed with your habit of brushing away other peoples legitimate opinions beause we're somehow not 'getting the point'.  Based on your post, I offered my opinion, namely that, as in multiple cases in the past, meta-game knowledge aquired by the player (in this case that Isura was free of all culpability and 'taintedness') doesn't necessarially transfer to the character, and definitely should not instantly change the entire persona and motivation of the character.   We've had significant problems with this in the past (The biggest being in LightVoid when Shadow siezed upon a loophole in someone else's post as a way to destroy Yrie without actually involving his God (a move generally considered as NOT COOL) and players, knowing that Shadow had been involved in the destruction, kept attacking Shadow's God, who, In the Game, had nothing to do with it.)  It was a general statement of good LoC gameplay that I felt could use reiterating based on yoru post:  Meta-knowledge should be kept separate from IC-knowledge.

Regardless of the point I was trying to make, it frustrates me when your response to my point is to quote someone else and tell me that *they* got it and *they* were the reason you had posted your point initially (particularly when your claim in this instance is so very transparently false).  No response at all (which would have been fully acceptable to me) is better than what you wrote, which to me reads as you telling me that my opinions aren't valid.  I'm not sure if you're even aware that you are doing it... in fact, I suspect that you thought that you were doing a good thing by acknowledging that I had posted a reply... but I felt the need to share with you how it was making me feel.  If possible, could you watch out for that in the future?

Veok, you're in luck.  The last artifact is not in Hearth... its... well...  somewhere in the world, wherever Itropi is after leaving Hearth

Isn't he? *goes back to reread the IC thread*.

Last post on the subject I could find was this:  community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/758...

which seems to imply Itropi is in Hearth -- hence my confusion. 

And with that, Gates of Eternity has ended.  Thank you to everyone who played.

Please check the Group: community.wizards.com/lordsofcreation/go...  for information about our next game, starting in a week's time in the HOMEBREW FORUM.

If you have time and the inclination, please take a moment to beautify the wiki before we archive GoE's information and wipe the slate clean for the new game. 

We three admins all have access to the LoCGm account, so if you want, you can send your post to me and I'll add it to the final post.

OOC Thread is up!
