How to integrate yourself and your character into a Hofborg DM ran event.
Stay Together
In any event ran by one of our DM's (Dungeon Master's) the entire group must stay together. It is much harder for the DM to run an event broken up over two groups, much less more than two. Consequently, any IC suggestions to divide or separate the group or perform solo missions, not matter how reasonable ICly, can not be accommodated. It is a group activity for everyone to enjoy.
So while you are welcome to player your character as you wish, recognize that having your suggestion followed during a DM event isn't going to happen. We will as DM's and other IC leaders do our best to give you an IC reason why that won't work in the situation, but continuing to push the idea or even getting upset ICly about the reasoning may result in the necessity of ignoring spotlighting.
Get Along to Go Along
Most DM events are 2 hours, stay on page and move the story along. DM events are group activities for the entire guild and thus certain behaviors are just not appropriate for these events.
- OOC perspective
- Starting drama, going off on OOC tangents, or not being prepared for the event delays the the time line. No one wants to get ready for a 2 hour event and still be standing in town 30, 60 or even 90 mins later.
- IC Perspective
- While we want everyone to participate it's simply not possible to bring new joins up to speed on the story line if they don't know what's happening. If you do not know what is going on, then you will either need to learn about it before the event begins or play confused.
