es, the chat-log w/Sydney, Jazz, & Nick White shows that Nick was involved with this OOC. But therein lies the problem. Nick White is an IC character, and the person who plays/controls him from Cyan was acting OOC.
Personally, I think that's why Cate said Nick was "on probation from the DRC for a couple weeks". The person who plays/controls Nick got "too involved" with the explorers OOC.
Honestly, do you really think that could happen? It makes no sense that one of the actors could go rogue like that, and keep it up for almost two months with nobody catching on to it.
I have no doubt that the cast and writers at Cyan have regular story meetings, and regular group postmortem examinations of the logs from every interaction between one of their characters and the explorers. While the actors improv during their appearances, every appearance is likely scheduled and possible interactions discussed in advance. There must be a framework in place to keep the story within the overall arc that is planned.
So many people seem to be reading "messages from Cyan" into every action of their characters. When Cate took the DRC forums down back in February, a large number of people were sure that this was done for OOC reasons because those forums (especially the liaison forum) were getting too out of hand. So, we all sat around for a couple of days debating it on the forums instead of doing something about it down in the Cavern. But we were told back then that the actions of the characters are to be interpreted IC, not as Cyan's actions OOC, and that our response to them should be IC. It appears that many people have still not absorbed that lesson.
