Wait are they officially out? [@Too Old 4 This][@Squittens] You're right though this isn't all about politics, to be fair though, the only ones really political are the two princes and a bad elf. Like I've been saying it's not at the point where classes are a thing so you're all just running around establishing characters among each other. Same time I do expect you all to realize character motivation isn't usually just "I wanna go do that so yeah" so, you know respect each other's personal choices. Not everyone wants to fight people, not everyone wants to go find a a book that screams, not everyone is interested in politics. Character diversity isn't a bad thing, and you shouldn't forget that nobody is stopping anyone from anything. Interact with my cast if you like, ping me to read a book on a topic, learn to make frog cake or a potion that instantaneously turns ink to bad tasting water. Wizard rule #1, you're only limited by your own mind. So try not to think about this like you're locked into [i]one[/i] expectation. I challenge you to test your limits, my whole lore was written to accommodate that specific ideology. Have fun, that's all that really matters. And if having fun for you means talking about personal character political affiliations then you can do that, if you want your character to fight other characters then challenge people, hell read a book. Sky's the limit mages. Hell I even said exactly where you can find the wizard, it's not like I'm hiding stairs. Just do what makes you happy, and you don't need stake in politics to summon a bush on the head of another student. Creativity, it's why we're here. If I seem mad about this I am just a bit. Don't get hung up on people playing their characters. If they bring up a king to you, then change the subject, perhaps the reason they talk about polotics is because that's what they chose to converse about, go ask them about magic and count how many times they talk about their plans. I'm willing to bet Rune or the princes; and actually that's about the only people I see talking about politics; will be more than happy explaining their magic. Not the first person I've had complaining about it, and it's not like anyone's doing anything wrong. Give your character interest in something that will drive them to talk nobody is a stoic loner [i]all[/i] the time.
