Piracy check is yours, Iituem
E: And yeah. Actual scheming and planning should be done ICly. Discussing things is alright, stating your plans once they're set in stone barring drastic changes (Erik is going to melt down the Mirish crown regardless of what's said here, unless someone ICly presents a really awesome plan for it that he'd go for), asking for clarifications, and the like are alright. But try to avoid actual plotting anywhere but the IC thread.
Also, I just thought I'd let you all know that there's nothing that annoys me more than people pulling things out of their ass be they players or GMs. If you're concealing weapons, have a mount, happen to have brought ballistas with you on a nice country-side picnic, or anything else of the sort and you fail to mention it to the GMs in any way at all then, at least when I roll, starting now those benefits will not exist. So if you think you'll need a ballista or your full suit of platemail or something when you go out to picnic with your fiance, mention it or else you won't have it. Yeah?
For my part, I will do everything in my power to avoid accidentally doing the same to you unless narration dictates it. Obviously I'm not going to tell you that you're going to be ambushed right before you walk into one, but if it should have been obvious that Lord Billy had guards with him and I don't mention them until you attempt to assassinate him then you're free to call me out on it.
