This one person, who was in my example before, just said, "Who wants to do a mass murder? My character would never ask people IC but I want to do it OOC." That's a small, relatively sort of harmless thing, but it's an example of creating IC drama for OOC purposes. That is a huge red flag for me. It has always led to worse.
I mean, on some level you gotta push things along OOC and make things happen. The RP doesn't always flow in an exciting direction naturally. Everything we do in RP is for "OOC purposes," we're doing this for OOC entertainment and not to robotically carry out the lives of some pretend people. But I get what you mean it's annoying when things that make no sense IC are done for OOC shits and giggles. It's about keeping a balance between OOC enjoyment and IC believability.
Yep, I've got no problem with creating storylines, but this one person is actually a gossip and drama-causing Queen, so in her case, when she says stuff like above, it usually isn't for the benefit of the story.
