esperanza-hernandozsaidThe most courteous of RPers are those that communicate effectively. Not saying go reveal all your surprises, please don't! Hathianites love surprises.... But due to some reoccuring issues involving multiple players, both new and old, I'd like to start a discussion about roleplay and courtesy. Not so much the rules... or what is right or what is wrong. Just the basics of some things and really a way to gauge the current players thoughts because quite frankly I have been feeling how I was taught to go about this sim is dated in that everyone else just seems to think that their roleplay does not have wider effects. So I'll list what I learned to be true... and you guys just comment away and share your views. be respectful. remember there is no right way or wrong way (to a point :p) and everyone's experiences are different. To me it can all be boiled down to courtesy. If you have to suddenly leave.. try and say something or say something when you come back. If you have a on going storyline whether its long or short - be sure to communicate if things will be changing. I won't really name any examples - I am sure we can easily come up with instances where suddenly details changed and we had to scramble with how to adjust our character to it. Most times its not that big a deal... but sometimes it can be.... and a lot of times it leads to a form of unintentional powergaming and metagaming. Ever since I first got into gang RP i have seen these forms of the aforementioned and from issues being brought to me and my own encounters I feel it has been getting worse. 1) Taking advantage of OOC limits - Metagaming 2) NPCing - Powergaming 3) Talking things out 4) Rage Quit! I could write so much more, but I'm sure I have made your eyes bleed enough! Have more examples of how people could be more courteous? feel free to add to it. Hopefully, this leads to a healthy discussion that will bring the unintentional repercussions our RP actions may have on others to for all of us. In the end I think we all need to make a bigger effort to talk to each other and be sure to not assume others are on the same page (myself included!). |
