I my... err... Barnabas defense... I was under the influence of two mystical forces, the first being the thirst for human blood in response to my vampiric cravings... The second being the supernatural command that was given to my already weakened conscious self by Bathia... Oh and I was following the candle light, not only her voice... *twirls cane*
As we discussed earlier this morning, role playing is discouraged on these discussion forums. And to repeat what I said then, I'm not at all referring to manner of speaking, signature, or username. You replied with an assurance that you would not be role playing here, so I'm including the definition of RP as contained in the forum guidelines at the bottom of this message.
Privately saying these things apparently upset you earlier, so I'm sorry if saying them on the board is again upsetting for you, but I felt the need to address the issue again because the fact remains that role playing is not allowed on these forums.
"2. The purpose of these forums is to discuss DARK SHADOWS, its characters, actors and storylines. Role playing (putting oneself or another poster into the DS story) is discouraged, and repeated efforts to role play may result in removal of these posts from the board. This does not, however, refer to DS-related usernames or signatures. These forums also do not accept fan fiction and such works are subject to removal."
