P.S I'm here too, if you read the OOM building closely

I LOST 2 POINTS OF CONSTITUTION PERMANENTLY TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM THAT!!! And my main problem with Galadria's post is quite simply that she didnt Roleplay her way out of it. She reapeared, out of nowhere, and worst of all she cut off my Arm!!
An addition to the list of rules- You cant just suddenly do a heap of physical damage to someone. HitPoint loss, yes, but cutting someones arm off by creeping up behind someone else ?? THe other person body would interfere with your swing, especially considering that its a 2 handed sword. Even with a longsword, it would be realy difficult. And without the cover of a person, the victim would see it coming and dodge it!! Cutting someones arm off is definately not good roleplaying.

Elleshar emerges from his chambers, having healed a bit and rememorized his spells. He notices that the portal to the HADB castle is still open, and picks up the broken sruids staff he used to attack Neb with earlier. He quickly throws it into the portal, sealing it completely.

He then walks back into the throne room AGAIN, and notices that Galadria is back, somehow, he throws a chromatic orb at her, and at Talthyr, he then draws his longsword and looks around for who to swing it at...

OK, a couple of things to end off with. 1. A little shortcut to having to type OOC. Use a different colour for the OOC than for the IC. As you can erm.. C, I have been using the Steelblue for the OOC, and Red/Lightgreen for the IC.
and 2. The 3 actions per post rule- can we make it so that means only directly offensive/ defensive things, like swinging a sword, or casting a spell, rather than everything like... drawing a sword without swinging it in this post, or equipping a ring ?? It would be worth it from a RolePlaying perspective.
