Subject:  @disguise and you.

@disguise is not a magic alteration spell. It is merely an OOC tool to convey that you are in fact
 disguised. It is perfectly alright for someone not to fall for your disguise if you fail to do any
 of these things.

1) Get rid of weapons and equipment that would normally identify you. (ie: Bubba always carrys
 around the Sword of Destruction +35. Only Bubba has that sword. Suddenly, someone new to town, who
 no one has ever met has the sword)
2) Get rid of the clothes you use everyday. If someone fails to even change their clothes it is
 often a sign that the person might be disguised.
3) Change their description. This is OOC stuff, but just because someone has (disguised as Tharnak
 Emperor of Darkness) tagged onto their name, it doesn't mean they actually -are- diusguised. Look
 at them, see if their description is the same.
4) If the act nearly the same as their normal self, it's a good sign that they are.

In conclusion, disguises are fun and a good spur for RP, but they're not some magical power to get
 you out of trouble.
However, if the disguise fits, and the person RP's it well, then please accept that it might be
 someone different, unless of course one of the signs above points otherwise.

I know, I'm rambling, but a few things I forgot. It's alot harder to fool someone who you see 24
 hours a day then it is someone you've just met. And also, be weary of 7ft 400lbs people with thick
 beards claiming to be little girls.
That's all for now!
