You mean the things were "in character", on both sides, right? Out of character means that we would've been going on at each other on a personal level rather than as leaders of nashuns that are at odds.

And you DO have an excellent point there! I never thought of it that way (the drain and denseness thing). It's kinda funny how I *constantly* use IC (short for in character lawl) rhetoric and then fail to realize when others do the same sometimes. Pretty fun way to play 'em, I must say. Well, not so fun for ME when the things started happening, because it lead to a heap of trouble and some frustration, but in retrospect, it's been a fun lil "debate".
