As far as Bahir'an goes, the House was around before the Carnifex were. The Law was around back then too, as far as I am aware. Finally, Abhorash himself has issued Edicts regarding this type of thing (wearing names other than your House name) and to expect the Houses to react any differently is not only naive, but rather silly in my honest opinion.
I don't see what's wrong with it being Cohort Fenrir Bahir'an. It means exactly the same thing to me as Cohort Fenrir, except that if Fenrir allowed himself to be the latter, he'd be breaking on of the most important Laws of his House.
We simply don't have any choice.
I do know where you're coming from with the it's public, can't really back down from it bit though. It's part of why Ve'kahi has a problem.
Rage in general, at Genocide curing and turning half of my house into Princes and Princesses.
OOCly, I think it's stupid to be in a House AND the Carnifex, since Houses want your loyalty to them first, and the Carnifex demands your loyalty to them first.
Tough spot for the admin since Abhorash declaring something anti-Carnifex would absolutely cut off all the Houses from the Carnifex and it'd basically become admin-enforced "change your RP/laws." I think they prefer to assume the "deal with it yourselves, it's below my concern" thing to avoid taking a side. It's certainly tricky trying to balance that vision of vampires with guilds now; way back when multiclassing didn't exist and you HAD to be Praenomen/BB to be a vampire it was easy enough to demand absolute loyalty and super xenophobic snobbishness since it wasn't really possible to get into a conflicting org. Now things get trickier though since you can belong to two orgs that both demand loyalty and may have conflicting laws.
Quite frankly, they shouldn't. Yes, it's important people have fun. Yes, that requires communication outside of the game. But we're not talking about Bill and Nancy's loving relationship, and how Bill wants his character to start experimenting with leather in the bedroom, but Nancy's character is strictly conservative and that might ruin her game experience. We're talking about two organizations, quite large ones in fact, where the majority of the involved parties don't seem to be (and shouldn't have to be) participating in the conversation. And that's wrong.
So I think it's pretty obvious how a persuasive argument as to your character's motivations, in a meta-medium, could be classified as forum RP, and it's obvious how that could sour the situation for other players with a stake in the conflict. Is, was, that happening? I thought it was. I think it still might be, if people are determined to continue providing reasons why they aren't having fun based on their character's rationale and lack of opportunities, and how @Moirean should adapt her stance (both variations, IC and OOC) to suite them. I'm sure a lot of people are having fun. You can't please everybody, so don't try to. At least try to keep the people who are engaging IG having fun. At the very least, it'll be appropriate.
I rage that no one seems willing to let other people aetolia-rage anymore without it degenerating into a 2+ page whine-fest about that person's rage. If a person wants to express it at length, they'd make a thread, not make a single post in the rage forum.
Had to check for the LoLClient.exe to make sure I wasn't in the wrong community for a second. Ur wrong junglr, OK Jungler ur on ignor.
