@bono_bob:
Whatever your personal preferences may be, and I do respect your opinion there, if you are on a GM-managed quest and the GM requests that you speak in Party mode, then you need to speak in party mode. Saying "that's life" is not really a sufficient excuse to not use it because of what you may or may not want.
When not on a quest, party mode is completely optional.
And as a general response to the thread....
Regarding split-party quests...I have seen it both ways....where each group forms its own party and uses party chat so the GM can track both easily. I've seen the GM say "don't use party unless I absolutely need to hear it". Again, it depends on GM preference, and there is not really any "standard practice" for split party quests.
But in general, for GM-managed quests in Layonara, the standard practice is to speak in party mode, unless the GM says otherwise.
