A member of another clan sneezed on one of our clan memebers? the rest of the ring would be saying "ask for a cow in compensation" "ignore it" "write a satirical poem about it," she'd be "We must raid them! Their insults have gone unavenged for too long, and must be paid for in oceans of blood!" It amused me far beyond the call of reason (something about trying to implement ISO9001 all day that makes the strangest things seem funny!). It also worried me that she might be a secret chaos worshipper, but the Uroxi were insistent that it was the much more highly talented and sedate Ernaldan sitting next to her who was the brain-sucking horror.
Which is all to say that I'm glad the ring members don't always have predictable or stereotypical personalities. I think A-Sharp did a really superb job of making the personalities and comments appropriately lifelike--mostly predicatble, occasionally surprising, and once in a while quite amusing.
Actually, this also leads me to a question....has anyone ever ignored the Uroxi accusations of one of your ring members being a chaos worshipper, and later found out that the Uroxi were right? In the case above I ignored the accusation, then sent the accused on a heroquest, figuring if she were a chaos worshipper her odds of success weren't high....she succeeded so I assumed she was innocent, but I'm still not so sure.....is there any way to ever know for sure?
