I talk to the other person OOC, opening a dialogue. I ask them what they want out of the encounter, and what kind of story they want to tell. This is how I met a good friend of mine in TOR. Luckily, he was more interested in telling a story, and entertaining everyone watching, more than either of us were showing off.Â
Whenever there is going to be a confrontation, I'm aware of what other people are viewing, and I'm much more interested in whether they are going to be entertained or disinterested. I keep it short, sweet, and to the point. If the other person is uncommunicative, or uninterested in a cooperative effort that works for us both, then I just dismiss the whole thing and go about my business.Â
Posturing, chest-beating or unnecessarily throwing ones weight around is my number one turnoff in roleplay. If that's all someone is interested in, then I'm just gonna leave them to do their thing.
