Whats wrong with knowing somthing ic what if its ic to know example ''where do I find rocks for arrow heads?'' ''find out ic'' what if they should know that? sorry for my grammar and stuff but im frustrated...
If you feel your character should know, e-mail the Mud account, the staff is a better judge of when to hand out IC information, as opposed to players and helpers.
You could always ask someone IC. Pretend you can't remember or something...
One of the reasons I like to encourage people to find things out ICly is, it's -really- more fun. Anything you want to learn (I like to think/hope) can be learned by plodding back and forth across the mud questing for the answer. And plodding back and forth across the mud is remarkably fun.
finding some things out ic just means killing off several characters...;)
