As in real life, you don't simply know who a stranger is the moment you walk up to them. You have to observe them to figure out what is going on.(07-23-2015, 01:33 PM)Flickering Ember Wrote: Conversely, I almost never look at search info. I always forget but there's only so many ways "Walk ups, welcome" can be worded anyway. It would be kind of nice if people put a brief tidbit about their character instead of "walk ups welcome." I'm probably not going to start random RP without finding a character hook of some sort first.
Been an advocate of this for a long time. I can't exactly read a character's mind, you know?
The same holds true in RP. Watch what a character is doing, and approach after you have your hook. Find out the rest (read:the stuff you would have to be a mind reader to learn) through actual RP.
