I think this is the differentiation, yeah. I mean... I find this fear that if I start bringing up heavy plot points in ""bar RP"" (walk-up RP with strangers), they'll think I'm attention-grabby, annoying, or selfish.
Which is complete nonsense, of course. I think most people, most of the time, are EAGER to hear about whatever the person they're chatting to has got going on.
But... I guess there's still that hesitation that unless the person is asking specifically for plot stuff, that bringing it up will be unwanted or irritating.
I don't have "LF storyline" in my search info (no room, lol). But if I did, it would be a call to notify people that really, no, honestly, it's ok to bring that stuff up! Do it! It's fun! Show me what you're doing! Don't feel restricted to "so how about that weather lately eh"!
Just that extra push and reassurance for people on the same wavelength.
