Re: Re: [DL] Player's *not* using given knowledge...

i've had to marshall since ours left town, and the group i put together
never works together..richard, mister 'i piss on the maze spirits', came
back harrowed and tried to kill our characters..and he wasn't possessed!
luckily, though, our first doomsayer, draz, finally took him down.

from their respective leaders that were contrary to the 'group' goal.  I
never gave them any instructions that they had to keep the information
secret (though they knew there could be repercussions if they failed their
mission, and one of them did eventually go against orders), they decided to
keep their real goals secret.  They also kept information they'd learned
from their leaders secret from the group, lest it incriminate them.

completely out of control, however.  The posse has always managed to come
together when the chips are down.
