Someone on Newbie channel today said that allowing someone to wrap up a scene when they used the ‘GTG’ command to indicate that they needed to leave was breaking Rule 2: “You cannot use Out of Character (OOC) information IC nor should you take IC issues OOC. You also should not base IC interactions on OOC ones. Any information acquired outside of the game is OOC.”
This strikes me as a pretty unreasonable interpretation, but just to be clear:
Is it within the rules to find an IC reason to wrap up a scene when another person uses GTG (or AFK, or whatever) to indicate that they need to go?
