Cerberus while I understand your frustration on some matters and exactly what you're requesting there is some clarifications I need to make.
I understand that these things are niggles that make RPing a healer irritating and difficult. It is unfortunately something that does come with the roll, you can ask anyone who's played a healer or doctor before. It's demanding on time to try and be available whenever anyone could need you and frustrating as hell when they leave. But I just simply wanted to give you some insight into how the other players feel. Please understand that I'm certain most will make an effort to get a hold of you as you've asked. But just as they do that, please understand there are those that feel the same way about Skype as you do about asking for a particular character for RP. We want everyone happy and not stressing themselves out over being a bother to someone.
Thank you, for letting people know they can reach out to you, and for understanding that there are some that can't.
- The issue with IG items probably stems from the history of the previous clinic, this is an oversight by some players who've made a mistake given the healing house is often seen as a public building and not a private one. Though yes, perms here should be observed, I agree. I simply wanted to clarify the origins of the issue.
- Rule 1 of Mesalia is to respect one another, that that means to respect the right to privacy and to respect what may make another player uncomfortable.
For example, bothering players outside of the game to get in game for an RP makes me extremely uncomfortable. I think it's an imposition, rude, and unnecessary, and since I don't want it done to me so I simply wont do it if I can at all help it. With this in mind I cannot condone any request made expecting people to do this or requesting to impose on other players to contact you.
I am sorry for the inconvenience, but this is a form of pressure to some people that we shouldn't be placing on them. However politely done. I know you aren't demanding it in any way and I don't mean to suggest that you are. I am just asking that you please be understanding of other players if they refuse to contact you. It may make them uncomfortable or they simply can't; We do have players that don't even use Skype and some that are not in communication with those who could impose on you for an RP.
- In the vein of the same issue, you cannot request people to keep their characters confined to the healing house until you are available because you are not comfortable reaching out to them while they are RPing other characters. I also want to point out that for some characters (such as Bandit) leaving when no one is around is exactly the intention.
- It shouldn't be any issue to come up with a reason why Arua would not be home, she has two young children, that should be all the excuse you'll ever need. Here's some examples if your stumped.
- "I was out with the kids _____"
- Having a snowball fight
- Building a snowfort
- Making snow angels
- Picking flowers
- Chasing butterflies
- Making a trombone powered golf-cart
- Looking for mushrooms
- "I was out with the kids _____"
