I will stand around and tab out of game to watch my shows or just read the forums. Often I will miss people posting to me since well, if I stand there emoting to myself for about 30 minutes and no one bites I am going to find something else to do. Or I will often park myself and walk to my kitchen to make something to eat.(02-22-2015, 04:11 AM)Graeham Ridgefield Wrote: Then there's the ridiculous idea and commonly held belief that every last little detail needs to be discussed in advanced. In almost every thread you'll see people spew out the idea that 'OOC communication is important' and yet when push comes to shove many of those stating it don't respond to prompts IC or OOC from anyone who does approach them in-game.I think you misunderstood this
The advice was to whisper someone OOCly to see if RP was welcome, or if something was missed in chat scroll. This is not only reasonable, its also polite! Some people do like to have things plotted out, but the vast majority of casual RP (especially) is entirely spontaneous. People are just trying to offer useful advice for someone having trouble breaking into that sort of thing, and I do think its terrific advice! I'm sure I've missed a lot of things like this in the past.. chat scroll is a rough thing, and even if its moving slowly sometimes it difficult (or not really desirable) to read everything that's going by!
I never ignore anyone trying to interact with me intentionally, but I'm sure its happened :-X
The Afk tag isn't instant and half the time I forget to turn it on before I go so I have probably scared people away. I also have my LS in another window due to how spammy it can be and will tab to it and miss the normal chat.
