It was really hard to get people to go along with us trying to ambush them on a road or whatever to steal their shit (which is funny, because it's not like we were gonna god mode or whatever - the times we did actually get to banditize someone, our characters were defeated miserably). So, I understand your conflict completely.
That said, don't give up. I know it can be kinda nerve wracking trying to initiate a scene like that with random strangers, but be persistent! If your first shout doesn't stop someone, try again, and this time elaborate a bit (they might not have understood what you were trying to do, or even not realized your shout had been directed at them). If they don't react well, don't worry. Just roll with the punches, so to speak, and move on to find your next potential victim.
But to answer your question more directly: RP like that is never bad.
It was very last moment though. I didn't have time to type anything elaborate so literally all I bellowed out was "HALT!" but there was enough time for them to respond albeit they weren't watching I guess so I assumed they were disinterested until they started showing signs of turning around but then I became intimidates -o- ;;
I'll keep trying though, haha.
In any case, a short while after that I encountered a more serious scene where people were consoling some woman who was in danger. I began eavesdropping and some really interesting character emoted in such a way that allowed a friend and himself to corner me. It was actually rather funny since I didn't even see the second person come around behind me in site of OOCly knowing it was coming >w<
It was a short scene but I enjoyed the interaction nonetheless >w< I'd also like to do something that you and Twin had done. Especially if you grabbed a few high level archers and used flame arrow to block the path of a large group of people or a caravan @@
Characters: Andre Winter (Hy'ur) / K'nahli Yohko (Miqo'te)
