@ Gyr: Playing auhthority itself isn't necessarily poor form, but assuming you have authority in someone else's plot is. If I elect myself the king of Eorzea and run around demanding everyone bow down to me and pay me taxes... I could get maybe 1 follower? ( there's always one)
People have trouble separating the two. They think; 'just because I made myself lawman, I have the right to arrest people.' Well... no, no you do not. I appreciate lawful good never sleeps, and is always on duty, so to speak. Heck, I've played a number of lawful chars myself... but I always make sure I'm welcome in the scene. Making assumptions in rp just like in real life, is often what leads to drama.
