Re: that distinction... I don't want to use that term (I hate saying "combat RP") but I find that it is important to have because it distinguishes between the more passive and the more active play-styles/writing-styles/what-have-you.
As a matter of personal preference, for example, I can't abide characters who do nothing but talk, talk, talk. I don't care if your character is going to free some slaves through coin or through a long and grueling legal process, or spend their days jotting down notes and writing new texts on Arcanum, or fight off an undead army of zombies with a holy sword, or run down some footpad who just stole some old lady's purse, or trip and fall because some dubious peddler left his goods lying about in the middle of the street: a character has to live and breathe, IMO, and you can't have that by just standing around and talking all the time. It's why I can't stand tavern RP in anything more than small doses.
So the distinction has some purpose; it's not entirely unnecessary.
Also, what Liadan and the others have said. Keep names out of it, if for no other reason than because a mod/admin will come down hard on this thread if you don't.
