|p=Some folks have expressed concern about {{PRel|DragonRealms Policy#Consent|consent policy}} and {{PRel|Prediction|prediction}}s. The official policy is that predictions ARE consent for [[PvP]]. Because predictions have the potential to endanger another character as well as drastically affect their ability to do, well, just about anything, you have to expect folks to get upset if you're tossing off predictions at them when they don't want them. Intent is a non-issue. Whether or not you're trying to curse them or just trying to be helpful, the target has no way to know that. Just as someone being {{com|AIM}}ed, {{com|ADVANCE}}ed or {{com|TARGET}}ed has no way to know your intent. Simply put, consent is an in character consideration. If your character goes around predicting on people without their okay, it's entirely reasonable that the target would get mad. As such, you're basically saying, "I understand you may get mad, and my character will accept the consequences of how I choose to play."
