And some clever player comes along and balances that out by posting something from a random lowly city guard

No, it's far better that PC's don't speak for NPC's, that's the DM's job after all. As far as rumors, I don't know if that's a DM or not personaly. But it's proably safe to assume that anything posted from a NPC is coming from a DM, if it isn't we'll delete the post.

Well.. Rumors are just.. Rumors.. you need not to "control" an NPC to "spread" Rumors... just imagine to go in an Inn.. buy some Drinks.. and tell some storys.. some "Rumors".. and they may wander in a nother Inn.. spread by NPC-Commoners..
Every Player can do that.. and as far is I know, i never have said that Rumors are True..(Commoner have heard that from another commoner that have heard that in an Inn).. they are RUMORS after all.... a bit of truth.. abit of lie.. a bit of misunderstanding.

Dont be so single-minded.. good rumors are spread not only by ONE commoner.. do you really think its enough to go in ONE tavern and talk to ONE commoner to spread rumors?
Well.. maybe 1 third of commonoers ignore the rumors.. another third say that luniatic thing... but there is ALWAYS a third who believe what they have heard
(especaly if some KNOWN facts where in the rumor included)
And there are MANY Inns and Taverns in Mikona.. one just has to disguise himself as Commoner and talk about a thing long enough and then it becomes a Rumor.
BUT.. if you dont like it (course YOU cant control it)
.. if you say.. "Mikona Citiecen dont spread rumors.. the dont believe ANYTHING the heard in Inns... the are a breed FAR better then most commoners in the known world.. stop your Rumors, Rumor.. Mikona Commoners are not susceptible to Rumor spreading"
THEN i will stop... even if i think its nonsense to believe that a Character cant spread rumors amongst mere commoners...![]()
Hopefully you will have then your hands FULL with ereasing ALL the posts where someone NonDM let a NPC something say

Its only "Rumors"

I don't care what your reasons are, or what your explanation or reasoning is, this is the policy and any post made by a non-DM under the persona of an NPC will be deleted.
Rumors wrote:Well.. fine.. citizen... Guy at the Bar... Man/woman on the street... Fellow at the Table... there are MANY names that are NOT used by NPCs... i can alway choose one of this if someone feels i steal the "Copyright" name (persona) of "commoner"
btw.. i have an Char called " Commoner".... he getting payed to spread Rumors. heheheheh
Cuxn wrote:Ok. I have a legit question...I would like to spread some rumors BUT Cuxn is for all intence and purposes...dead, he can not spread any rumors or anthing, So how can I spread any?
Can I contact a Dm through PM and have him post the rumor for me?
