I'm sort of hoping to get an official stance out of Jay and / or Alison with this thread, as well as some general ground rule ideas from both Spider and Non-Spider alike for general RP purposes. This thread isn't so much about the "game" that Jay and Alison work on on facebook, as much as it is about setting, perceptions in the timeline that we are working with, etc... (I love the way the game is progressing btw).
1.) What is the status of the Spider in our timeline? Obviously, we are not a clan yet, as we have started this prior to that happening in the story. Are we more than a group of "lost/tainted/fu leng sympathizers?" Obviously, the city of the Lost has been founded, so I would assume that some things have been altered, and while I don't want a long explanation that you possibly can't give, a brief one could help to frame things up a little better.
2.) What is acceptable in RP settings that include Spider? Do we want / Allow open "war" between players? Do we need to play nice, and be sneaky about things? I ask this now, because I have started an RP in Scorpion Lands right now, and while I honestly have no intentions of the thread heading to violence between myself and the Scorpion, it does beg the question: "Is this acceptable?" I know Setsuro posted in the rules, that you shouldn't be a jerk, and that you shouldn't go around blowing things up arbitrarily, but I see this as a different issue.
The Spider / Lost / Shadowlands are considered "evil", "the enemy" at this point in the normal storyline, and it would be a kill first, and don't ask questions type of thing to find a follower of the current leader of the Shadowlands hanging around with you.
I had thought about posting this in the private spider forum, but I really am interested in hearing what others besides spiders and jay and alison have to say about point 1, and if in fact Jay and Alison were interested in public opinion on how to handle point 1, it would be nice to have more than just spider voices talking about it.
