Dales' brother hasn't been mentioned in the story so far, so he's not being impersonated. I think that Dave meant we can't impersonate someone he's brought into the story, not someone we've created.

Just my .02

The PMs will find a way to let you know if you've stepped over a line they've drawn. Trust me on this.

Cool

Very cool.

I'm going to put my couple of cents in on the impersonation of ingame characters.

Personally, I wouldn't do it. But that doesn't mean that we can't or shouldn't. Remember all the previous fakings done in this game so far (including military)? There's nothing that says a player sending emails that say he/she is someone's relative makes it so. Like was said, the real ingame characters have the ability to see through disguises. Undercover work is a big part of the real world, so why can't that transfer over to CTW?

I don't think this really counts as posing as an ingame character. No one has mentioned Dale having a brother, so he hasn't been "in the game" so to speak.

Plenty of people pretending to be friends though...that's as much creating an in-game character as a long-lost brother, IMHO. I interpreted not imitating an in-game character as meaning, for example, not to e-mail Dr Kendra pretending to be the Chief of Police and tell her to release Dale...tempting as it may be Wink

My take on this, the meaning was we aren't to impersonate in-game characters in regards to im'ing or emailing other players. Calling someone up pretending to be Dale or whomever and spreading fake clues or information would obviously be detrimental to the whole experience. Witness what happened over at NoahBoddy when they didn't know who was in-game and who was not.

Again, I gotta agree with Wolf (a former PM btw) that the CTW PM's will definitely let us know if we've crossed a line.
