SnipLET ME TELL YOU A STORY. It's not like real ERP but...

So Ellion way back in FFXI roleplayed basically the same character, just a little younger and a little more naive. Ellion was pretty new to the Roleplaying scene and wanted to make a good impression, so he roleplayed often and hardly ever left character. He asked a lot of questions about how to rp properly and was really trying to make himself "worthy" in the eyes of the more veteran RPers in the ls.

In walks one of my more Veteran RPers - who was playing someone with a split personality. During one of our RP sessions in the warehouse in Bastok, her other personality suddenly decides to take over and jump Ellion, trying to strip him to have sex with him without his consent.

The rest of us were about 10 yards away and had no idea this was going on, but Ellion was highly, highly uncomfortable and didn't give her consent. He tried to tell her he wasn't comfortable, but she told him he would have to roll to see if he pushed her off. Thinking this was just what super serious roleplayers did, he rolled and... rolled a 7. She rolled in the high 80's. She starts stripping him of his pants DESPITE his confused protests OOC. It was about the third roll (Not kidding: He rolled three 7s in a row) that someone was finally in range and alerted me to what was going on (I wasn't his girlfriend at the time, just his guild leader) and we put a stop to it.

He had no idea he was allowed to say no OOCly. And TO THIS DAY he has a lot of issues about more sexual RP because of it. He said he felt oddly violated.

Now-a-days we make fun of it (THe NB has a "NEVER ROLL A 7 OR YOU LOSE YOUR PANTS" rule) but he was really uncomfortable for awhile.

This is a really good example of pressure applied as a weapon. Â And to be sure, in these kinds of communities, you have a LOT of people who have trouble saying no, don't understand how things work, and don't want to ruin what frail social ties they have/don't have the confidence to say no to someone with higher standing.

Don't abuse that. Don't Be That Guy/Gal.

Despite the scandal
