Grow some balls and tell people to fuck off IC if you don't want them to be there IC. That's roleplay for you.

It's really just Balmung who has this retarded culture. Man, I can't imagine how sad my D&D group would be if I would need to like kiss people's asses and ask for permission 24/7 to say or do something IC. |

My own personal snark aside, the point I'm making is that you're dealing with a gathering of a people who - by nature - tend to be shy, reserved, and afraid of stepping on toes. Sure, not everyone in the culture is like that, but it's a known thing. Also, someone's personal nature - especially considering something like stepping into the unknown or approach to potential conflict - is not something they can easily turn off. Some can, many can't. It's probably why the whole wallflowering thing has been/was/is an issue. So you can yell at them all you want (or yell at them by proxy by making angry posts on a forum)... but that's not going to fix things. Heck, with some, it might just make them draw further into their shells or dig in their heels and get indignant. |

It happens in *gasp* real life as well. That's immersion shattering stuff broheim. Sure, I'm glad to go "Oh they have x in their hand, or you can see x" if they step into the scene, but I'm sure that can be emoted out as well. I try to be ridiculously polite, but I actually agree with this. It's WAY more immersion breaking to send a tell asking if I can talk to these people who are talking in public. IRL if people are discussing something relevant to my interests, I'll just go "Excuse me, but did you say X?" I get the feeling that a lot of y'all start off assuming that Ser Random Walkup will wreck your scene, and that's just really sad. ETA: I /also/ don't take it personal if Ser Public RPer blows me off. It's IN CHARACTER, not OOC. |

It's goddamn roleplay, not running into their irl marriage and shitting on their table. |

And on Balmung, is just so fucking easy to see.

Once more, grow a spine and get over yourselves that everyone is going to be mad at you for daring to join in their public roleplay. |
