I am going to have to agree with Killiet here, as this is sounding a lot more like "I am entitled to join in on all rp I see" and less about a polite and respectful way to approach things that might not always be open. In addition the responses in regards to private events run by fcs is increasingly disturbing as well. Based on everything I've read we should apparently be admonishing and ostracizing FCs that have grown to a size that makes the private channels completely unusable. Just like I said before sometimes there are times where it is impossible to keep the even secluded to these channels because of the sheer number of people attending.
Also in response to saying that people and FCs running these events shouldn't be rude to those trying to walk up, no one is saying that they should be or even advocating that so I don't know where this is coming from. Most FCs will politely tell people who happen upon their events and try to jump in that it is a private event but they are more than welcome to watch. I have done this countless times myself as a DM, and more often than not the people do stay and watch and enjoy doing so. The DM team I ran with received several compliments from randoms who stopped to just watch, or even new RPers who wished to sit and learn how these things go. If you get someone being rude about you trying to walk up, then yes they are indeed in the wrong. On the same token if you get told its a private affair then you should respectfully accept that. Not everything is about you shockingly enough, and this selfish attitude that EVERYTHING you see must be open to you is disturbing.

“Sparhawk grinned. "If Martel finds out that he's drinking again, he'll reach down his throat and pull his heart out."Â
"Can you actually do that to a man?"Â
"You can if your arm's long enough, and if you know what you're looking for.[...]â€Â
