I do not believe that a player should have the right to make ooc decisions for somebody else's PC.
I understand what you're saying. And, for the most part, I agree. But this statement -- this one -- really grabs my tits and twists them.
Situation: I make a ghoul for a PC, on the PC Player's request. And then, after a couple of weeks of good play, PC Player suddenly decides to tell my PC not to leave the house, and goes off to RP with other folks. Attempts to resolve the situation fail; OOCly, there's a stone-wall to my pages, my @mails, my impassioned on-channel pleas.
Suppose all of this is true, above.
The PC Player that asked me to make the ghoul? Has made an OOC decision that has screwed my PC. That decision is: (1) to avoid me; (2) to ignore me; and (3) to pretend I don't exist. And yet, I have to be the one that takes steps with staff to correct the injustice.
Horseshit.
But, I get it. In real life, it's really not appropriate to key your ex-lover's car when he decides to cheat -- fuck you, Carrie Underwood. You don't get the choice to fuck someone else over just because they did it to you. You should knuckle up, and do what is necessary.
But if I were staff and asked to make a decision on how to handle the situation, it would be to disintegrate that player's PC utterly, and then ban them. Because fuck you for making me step into this domestic-relations shit. If you can't be bothered to talk to people that you've fucked over, I'm not particularly interested in being "fair" to you. Eat in pari delicto and unclean hands and shit.
