This is something I am curious about since it lays into some of the insecurities I have about RPing. I'm always worried that I will step in too much of other peoples' own plots; will I derail it? Will it bother them even if it's semi-public? Or at least some place I frequent a lot (Most of Ul'dah Steps of Nald area)
I accept that there are consequences to RP actions and dialogue; however, it seems like forcing events upon you and your friend which I thought was a bit taboo to do without having the other person consent... (ie saying your character stabbed someone vs thrusting out your weapon in the attempt). Perhaps OOC it could be resolved in some way but if it doesn't pan out I don't see why you have to be forced into accepting someone else's actions into your plot.
Such as earlier in the night with the fight that just opened up in Quicksand that you saw. ICly and OOCly I didn't want to get too involved but since it was in the Quicksand I decided that Kage at this point in time wouldn't get involved personally out of fear and but would observe since weapons were drawn pretty much right on top of him. Also, it's the bar not some random alleyway.
I'd be interested in other viewpoints since I'm new to pretty much everything, but those are my thoughts and concerns.
