But perhaps insulting people who don't take your fancy is not the best act for a bartender? What, you expect a wizard who has known the actual owner of the tavern and who is fairly well known to be extremely powerful to just sit there while you call him names? That is highly unrealistic. I admit I may have made my mistakes, but you most certainly did as well. Frankly, you didn't want to back down, but in reality there are few people, even stubborn ones, who will not back down after being surrounded by a curtain of flames. Yes, Phinehas is powerful, that doesn't mean that playing anyone powerful is bad RP. However, if you aren't/can't RP a powerful person, then please don't act like you don't care a smidgin for threats. Perhaps the swirling fire was too much, but really, your bad RP led to it as much as, if not more than, mine. How realistic is it that your character would continue to insult someone who can control fire? I'm not saying that you would worship at his feet, but even a stubborn person would give him some grudging respect, even if they really hated his guts.
