I'm not even going to get involved with the rest of the clusterfuck this thread has become other than say the only two reasons I came to defend WHM roleplay were:
A. To make sure that someone new like Heart Quintessence is not dissuaded from a concept they may be interested over a handful of exclusionary, literal-minded roleplayers they'll never actually bump into in-game.
B. I am confident in the direction I've gone and feel that I've done nothing to break what information has been given to me in-game.
For the record, I'm not offended, either. Disappointed in parts of the community around me would, however, be another story.
