English

A little addendum: I used to write extensive RP texts about thoughts and actions of Salazar in the past, as those from Leanon might remember (and those on the English language forums got a taste of it). I almost completely stopped this when Salazar became a Filira. The reasons for that become obvious when you read this thread and both the references to Riditch's posting and in the fact that - as Icus says in another context - everything on the forums is public, or considered public. That sort of knowledge influences people's actions, wittingly or unwittingly. I stopped sharing Salazar's thoughts in the knowledge that it would influence politics. That is, in a way, a great sadness for me, because I enjoyed sharing these things, and from one moment to the other couldn't any longer - or only in a pretty casual, less personal way. I doubt even good role players are not affected by a certain knowledge (which is the main reason I never read the "bible"). But as a politician, you're not longer allowed to show your cards on the table - only if it helps your purpose. Just for that I sometimes think about leaving politics alone, but on the other hand see the need for it, the need to move things on, even if it comes at a price.

So please non-political role players, always keep in mind that - while we are all doing this for fun - those who dabble on the political stage do so not without restrictions. Lighten a candle for us sometimes! ;)
