This is an open announcement that I am going to allow Edohvi to resume his role as a DM again.
Marcus Stuart was stripped of his DM privileges following a purported RL incident. I say "purported" because, in matter of fact, I have no idea what happened with him in RL and for the most part Talus does not either.
I am never going to condone action based on heresay, on e-mail correspondence, on Facebook entries; on anything that is not rooted in fact and pertinent to Talus. From my perspective, Marcus Stuart was punished in Talus for things that are beyond the Talus purview. I honestly have no idea what goes on in Marcus Stuart's life or any of yours. As it pertains to me, you may have an accurate picture of me or you may not. Any of you have to trust that I am who I say I am and that I do what I say I do, because you have no real way of knowing. The same applies for all of us.
It is not Talus' job to be the police. We are not the courts. We have no authority to address what anyone does in RL, whether or not something criminal has happened. This is not the first time that a personal situation has been brought to Talus, and it is patently unfair to bring personal situations to Talus. Players have a choice as to whether they want to be on the server when another player is on, and unless a given player has acted on the server in violation of server rules, that's the beginning and end of it.
From here on out, if anyone is to be rewarded or punished in Talus it will be based upon their actions in Talus. I will not acquiesce to the drum roll of personal agenda, gossip, or heresay in dealing with any player or DM's conduct in the World of Talus. How I deal with anyone in Talus will be solely based on their play or DMing in the World of Talus.
Marcus Stuart's actions in game have always been on the up and up. I know this from game logs, same as I know anyone's in-game actions and conversations. If there was a problem or if I expected that there would be a problem I would not take this action. It is not taken lightly and no one is to give Marcus Stuart or his characters flak for what you think may be the case OOC. The irony is that in doing so you have brought actions in game that will be under my purview. I will take appropriate steps for in game actions, positive or negative, as they relate to the World of Talus.
This thread is locked, and any concerns or questions are to be directed to me personally by way of PM.
