So, I take it no one has ever seen a wuxia film before or watched an action adventure movie? The grandiose behaviors discussed in the previous pages are all things taken directly from the "Action Hero Playbook" right down to staring death (or at least a vicious walloping) in the face while clad in little but your knickers and a very stylish hat.....

I should probably get dressed. Anywho!

While I have no desire to stand up for the rights of Joe McHugeMuscles, savior of the dumbkoft nebula or Danny Hotpants, able to stand up to burly battlers in plate mail at all your social functions; I am inclined to point everyone's attention to Berrod's post (and to a lesser extent, anyone else who said the same thing) specifically in respect to that we're all telling stories even when we're in someone else's story. Without character perspectives, it'd just be one person writing fanfiction to themselves in an empty wasteland of an MMO. Which is to say: Choose your own adventure. That's not what MMO RP is. So yes, that person was being a prat and not respecting the event coordinator's RP. So was the OP in disregarding that player's right to RP the way they want to RP when they want to RP because REASONS (I still don't fully understand the "right to RP" platform, frankly. But that's not the point).

While I disagree with Berrod's point of using discretion diametrically opposed to a character's personality, I do believe that one should think before one acts and prepare for a storm of stinky brown stuff if whizzing in the punch bowl wins the internal debate of proper social etiquette. However, if my character decided to do that.....he would do it. He probably wouldn't care what anyone thought of it IC or how those characters felt about it IC. OOC, It wouldn't change my outlook on anyone, myself included, save to maybe consider seeking treatment for my disassociative disorder. Maybe.

There's a subconscious need in us to exert control over things that we know we cannot, which is where these problems stem from. Let it go. LET IT GO. CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMOOOOOOO-AGHK Koff Wheeze....

My apologies. Still, relax. It's only a game.

This is not an excuse to be something stupid or abuse in RP. Â

No char can make choices. Â No char exists in a vacuum as an autonomous agent.

"My char did it you can't judge me for the actions sorry I shit in your punchbowl" is not a reason. Â It's an excuse for shitty action you have complete control over avoiding, and it should be avoided.

Don't be That Guy. Â Don't use your char as a disruptive and destructive force in a community. Â If you think your char would be like this? Rethink having that char. Â If you think your char would do something that would make the game unfun for others and yourself?

You have control over not doing it.

It's as simple as not pressing enter.

Are too many people "Fearless"?
