Also known as "Big Brothering".

If another character interacts with yours in a way that you don't like - such as attacking, insulting, or stealing - you may not log onto a different character of yours in order to retaliate. Your characters do not know each other. They cannot ever meet each other, as they cannot be played at the same time. This means that they can never tell each other about their problems or ask for help. Your character may, however, ask another player's character to retaliate on their behalf.

Players who violate this rule may face character deletion.

-This is more classically known as the "I'm going to get my big brother to beat you up" syndrome, when a player brings in a higher level character to handle a problem for a lower level character. You can try, as many have, to explain just how it was that Big Brother Billy knew that Little Brother Bobby was in trouble at that exact time, and how Little Brother Bobby conveniently disappeared while Big Billy came in and solved Little Bobby's problem. It will give us a laugh as we delete the offending characters. This includes sending Bobby out on a revenge-mission later. Bad idea.
