I can't hang with deception, man. If his guild is superficial enough that they'd chuck the kid for being a kid, then imagine what happens when (because this stuff ALWAYS comes out) his modulation software is discovered?

As a more eloquent soul then I once put it: "Ohh yeah, $#*! just got real up in this $%^*#."

He may have to try harder to prove himself as a youngster, not particularly fair, but what is in life? But if he was found out to be a liar? At BEST he'd have a bunch of folks mad at him for deception. Worst he could get Gkicked so fast he'd bounce, or set himself up where that could be used against him less pleasant people who may figure it out before others do.

Turmoil, if you're reading this, I agree with the Mamas. (And as everyone knows, the opinion of the average schmoe on teh Intartubes Counts For Something, heh) Tell the GL in a controlled, private setting, apologise sincerely, succinctly, but *not excessively* if you encouraged a mis-understanding regarding your age, and face the results with your head held high. Apologise for NOTHING ELSE. You're the same person they've trusted up to now, all that's different is you've clarified any misconceptions.

Heck, if your GM is the kind of stand-up-guy I'd hope for, he'll make an announcement before your "on-air" debut, making note of your desire to clear the air and supporting you as the bang-up tank they all know.
