Personally, if people are going to completely blindside others OOCly as much as they are doing it ICly over fears of "metagaming," then they run the risk of looking like douchebags.
Not to say Thaal IS one, but no one should be worried about anybody else metagaming for any reason whatsoever. If people are seriously fussing about that, someone somewhere has screwed up.
But even that doesn't really excuse the fact that NB, allegedly, was never informed of this attack. Which is BS no matter how its put, in my opinion, especially since the entire thing can decide the fate of the faction itself. The total lack of cooperation between two factions OOCly will, and probably already has, cause animosity between the faction participants and just create something people may look back on as something that should've been thought over and NOT something where everyone must treat each other as an enemy, which is what the kind of vibe I've been getting is.
To me, the main issue is the fact that NB and LAW are NOT cooperating OOCly whatsoever, or at least weren't from the beginning of the discussion. If THAT can be solved and touched upon and fixed, then I'm cool with the rest. So please do that.
Aside from that, there will always be the inherent danger of factions dying off because another faction dislikes it. That much is certain. But to repeat: Please friggin plan this shit out instead of trying to make it an actual "surprise" and completely screw up future plans and just cause arguments over the suddenness of it. Oh, and TRUST the other side, for god's sake. If someone is doing something ICly for OOC purposes, then the mods should be able to handle it and I trust them TO handle it. It really isn't that hard to understand.
