Bullseye. One problem, though. Recognizing that these ooc bases for favors exist means that something should be done to stop it, instead you suggest the ostrich syndrome of burying your head in the sand. Yes, perhaps leaving one of the ooc fora would make the game more enjoyable for you, for a brief few days, but pandora's box is open and you can't put the genie back in, to mix metaphors. Even if you left all ooc means of communication and just played the game, you'd know that these things were going on, these ooc methods of favoritism, and it would bother you. Instead of leaving the other places, I would suggest we urge the Immortals to do more to stop it from their end, and perhaps think of ways we can prevent regular players from doing it as well. Other than that, I agreed with virtually everything you said.
