I think RP is definitely meant to be fun; otherwise why on earth are we doing it. Â Personally I feel fun is derived from learning to do something new, a different way or by pushing my boundaries a bit. Â RP loses its fun when I stop expanding and growing my characters. Â
I have been in certain groups where the fun fades because players are too serious all the time. Â I have met very few people in real life who are serious all the time, and the few I have met don't have many wishing to be near. Â Some of the most interesting characters I have interacted with are laughing in the toughest of situations.Â
Like others have said here disagreements within the community have more to do with style than anything else. Â Find players who play comedic and/or light hearted and I am sure you will have fun; just don't discourage those who enjoy the more serious tone (after all, that might be fun for them)
I for one am all about creating a cohesive, welcoming and fun community. Â Anything we can do to improve the community creates a better game and in the end we all win by having more fun.
