Communication is key! If you see Johnny Jimshanks sticking up some poor drunk Roegadyn bro and want your character to get in on stopping that action, send Johnny a tell, asking him if it would be alright if your character moved in to try to stop the robbery and attempt an arrest.Â
Depending on Johnny's response, you'll know whether or not jumping in there will be worth it or a waste of your time! If Johnny doesn't respond, try perhaps one more time and if there's nothing after that, it's perhaps best to leave it alone.Â
It really all depends on establishing where each roleplayer stands on where they want their narrative to go. If Johnny Jimshanks wants a successful robbery in his story, it's best to back off and let that happen. If Broegadyn Brahyolosyn wants to be robbed, cool! Â If either of them invite you to attempt to stop the proceedings, go in and play things off -- but don't expect to be successful in doing so!
Remember, calling for backup may be a touchy thing as well -- also communicate with the players involved if it would be okay for your character to be allowed backup; especially if they outnumber you!
This is just an example of a situation but as I like to emphasize: communication, communication, communication.
