Folks,<br/><br/>I believe you've gone slightly off-topic here.  As long as there's no problems understanding each other, and at least semi-decent grammar is used, I prefer prioritize the game over clashes of personalities and/or ideas.  As long as it directly pertains to the game, feel free to discuss the matter.  If that stops being the case, this isn't the right place for it.<br/><br/>And to put the matter to rest, unless specifically stated to be speaking something else, such as Elven, all characters can understand each other just fine with Common, accents notwithstanding.  This is the only thread of the game which is more or less completely freeform, the actual game threads which I'll be starting fairly soon will be more strict in regards to what you can affect beyond the actions of your own character.  When playing under a rulesystem with me as the DM, I am the final arbiter on the reactions of NPCs, the world itself and whatever else might be up to interpretation, unless I specifically state otherwise.<br/><br/>That's not to say the players have no freedom.  As long as it's something your character does, there are practically no limits.  The story goes where you, as the players, will eventually take it.  Want to stick a knife in the back of that annoying merchant who kept babbling on?  Feel free, just don't expect the civic legion to just stand by either.  If a player vs. player combat situation arises, it will be dealt in all fairness to both participants in regards to the situation.<br/><br/>Just a few words from me before we dive right into the deep intrigue and adventure of Sacrafel.<br/><br/>Best regards to everyone,<br/>_LF_
