Check Mate

Did you check with the writer that plays The Rook to validate that this information would be accepted? I don't mind the idea about the Famous Five or whatever, but assigning titles to people involved in the search for The Rook should probably have been cleared through the characters it would effect first. For instance, only the writer of The Rook would know what name Henry gives to his victims (or if he gives one to them at all). If you passed this off as media speculation or hype, I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it.

Also, please note that the characters needed are characters you would like to have for your particular position within this roleplay, but are not necessary for the roleplay as a whole. It is a storyline you have created within the roleplay.

Thanks!

Okay, some 'minor' clarifications about my character.

For starters, The Rook does not mark his victims. He removes the fingers and slashes their throat. The media was not prone to the scare mongering present in todays society, and they would not assign a name to the victims. This is not a cartoon where the detectives would sound big and important with names related to the killers moniker. This is not true of real life. I know the RP does have a mild chess theme, but what the detectives call themselves may be for the GM's to decide. At least PM one of us to clear it before you post.

And now to the Rook. I have no problem with you inserting myself into your characters background, but... The Rook was not caught by some 'team' of detectives. He was caught by a local bobbie who chanced upon him disposing of various knives and such into the thames. Again, I don't mind detective characters, I just resent you trying to gather 5 of them, so you can 'win' the RP. Its not about winning, its about having fun.

And on that note, ladies and gentlemen, I am done.

Laters, Xav
