       Regarding the Caging of Liam

       Hello all.
       I have logged and read through the incident on Sunday, where
       Liam, a slave of Tharna, was caged while observing in the House
       of Lycus.
       While I commend the speed with which Thorgeir and Claudia
       responded to a fox in our henhouse (so to speak), the fact of
       the matter is that he did have ~o~ in his name and did not
       interact with anyone until he was spoken to.
       This, to me, represents a good faith attempt to observe under
       the site rules, even if he was not using the official OOC or
       observing pulldown. Not all rooms have this feature and one
       likely wouldn't notice it if they were honestly watching things
       rather than taking part.
       That being said, I have spoken with Liam, and he is (as Claudia
       noted) in a largely inactive city. And he may be looking for a
       new home.
       I have consulted with the wise and lovely Chimera and confirmed
       that the general rule of thumb on Portal of Dreams is that if a
       slave does not hear from their Master in two weeks, they can be
       considered abandoned and seek a new home. (By the same token, a
       slave who does not report to their Master for two weeks can be
       declared a runaway.)
       For now, Liam is welcome to observe in the House of Lycus so
       long as he uses the ~o~ tag.  I have freed him from his cage and
       intend to inform him of my decision when I next see him.
       You may get your pretty thrall yet, Claudia, but we must do this
       by the book. *grins*
