Now you both point this out, and you're right, my rule can only be cleanly applied to 2-people situations (and even then with the difficulty of never being 100% sure of someone's intentions). The situation gets quite a bit more complicated when MMO-levels of players are involved. But not because the rule is no longer valid. There's now simply too many variables involved, so you have to resort to statistics.someone somewhere is going to be "offended" at something someone else does
I've shied away from this discussion because it's... well... quite a bit bigger, to say the least. But okay, I'll take it on now. Right off the bat I can identify 3 difficulties that MMO-situations present over 2-person situations.
Problem 1: I enjoyed the Fyros intrusion, Iala did not. If we make the rule that no action may be taken unless not a single person present objects to it, then nothing will ever get done.
