I am absolutely fine if you track us down once in awhile. I'm absolutely fine if you use it to track us down for the purposes of role play. I'm absolutely fine if you metagame with a reasonable excuse. As we were smuggling counterfeit software to Omega-47, a trip we rarely make, it would be nearly impossible to guess our destination, and your first guy camping in Kyushu never got a look at our cargo.
Did we know you were trying to head us off in California or Magellan? Yes. But we went there anyway. We could have turned off in Cortez to Manchester, but we didn't. Why? Because that's using information my character doesn't have. I personally pride myself on not using such information, but I realize that it's unreasonable to expect it from others. I'm okay with that, depending on intent.
I'm unimpressed not because we got bottled up as a result of it, I had the time of my life. I'm unimpressed because even with ample opportunity, only one of your crew took the opportunity to role play. As I said, kudos to him/her. The very fact that that person was able to easily interject their sense of humor and wit while six Rogues tried to drink themselves to death shows that it could be done.
It's not that you metagame, it's not that you get caught, it's the intent, and how the situation plays out. I had the time of my life, as I said, but my Rogues and I, with all the response we got from you, could have just as easily stayed home.
Hunt us down like we hunt down traders. Not using a playerlist to determine who the biggest fish is. But stopping everyone you can and see where you can get roleplay.
