hey RPC,
I have been thinking about this quite a lot in the last few weeks. What do people dictate themselves as 'public roleplay'?
From my witnessing of public scenes, I personally am of the belief that anything you say and do in public should be held accountable against your character. As, it is publicly witnessable by multiple sources. However this becomes an issue for people who don't want thier 'bubble' pupped. And, creates a further issue where punishment for illegal actions (like, actual illegal actions - stealing, murder, solicitation etc) becomes negligible to the point of comedy.
Is this situation acceptable?
Why, should all roleplay held in public forums, accessible to the majority of the public still be considered as 'private' roleplay? Does the integrity and validity of another roleplayer matter less than your own personal character or.. what? It's quite a shame, because some better examples of amazing roleplay happen when punishment and crime collide.
I'm just, a bit.. confused to why it is the norm to treat the Public air/places as still private despite it being public.
maybe people just say they want an immersive world.. but not actually want one.

Player B, C, D continue to have discussion about XYZ illegal deed in public that they did.
Player A: -Remembers said conversation, approaches to extort Gil for 'keeping quiet' money.-
