Question on PB etiquette.
This is possibly a sensitive subject, but we've been discussing this for a few months now and haven't really come up with a decisive opinion, so I was hoping it's okay to ask for people to weigh in here (if not, I'm terribly sorry).

How long do you figure it's respectful to wait after an actor, actress, musician, model, etc. passes away before it's acceptable to PB them? I know there are some people who still get upset at seeing Heath Ledger PBed in a game, so what would you recommend in an event like this? Similarly, what is the best course of action to take if someone you're currently using as a PB happens to pass away?

For both, I say it's best to ask. If you're already using them, post to the game OOC journal and ask if everyone's okay with it. If it's a new character, I'd say ask the mods if that's okay, then once you're accepted, let everyone in the game know in the OOC to make sure they're all okay with it.

There's no great answer on this, because some definitely won't be, but...if you're polite about it, people will be more inclined to let you, particularly if you've already been using it.

	That's what we've been doing so far and it's mostly seemed to work out well enough but it seems to be a topic that's coming up more and more. Yeah, with something like this it's definitely best to try to be as respectful of the other people involved as possible. (Reply to this) (Parent)
