Plain and simple. 90% of my RP as a criminal RPer is shady shit that I don't want unrelated parties having anything to do with.
Saves people the embarrassment of being told they're not allowed to RP with us, saves us the headache of trying to explain why it's private.
Ummm... That seems a bit overboard and a rather exclusivitist point of view on the matter.
Its one matter if you're RPing ICly in a non-public place, but otherwise it should be fair game for walk-up RP. Unless personal preference dictates that you simply don't want potential public engagement. But that is a whole 'nother thing.
In this case though, Natalie was encouraged walk-up RP, just not losing her agency in the matter.
It's a thin line to dance on, doing your own personal plots in the open. If we're going to talk about being exclusive in public, to ooc shame people in /say for RPing their characters, just be exclusive in the first place. Better to be safe than sorry. What's the point in RPing a lawman if you can't arrest people confessing illegal activity in public?
Like I said, if you're simply doing 'personal plot' stuff, in a public place that you don't want anyone to have the opportunity to get involved in, well... thats on you and in which case yes, you should keep it in /party, etc. I don't think its really a thin line at all, its
Apparently I wasn't clear on the RPing ICly in a non-public place bit. That should be done, ideally in party, to avoid confusion. Even if you are in /say, I really don't think its an ooc 'shame' to a walk-up RPer to say ((Hey, sorry we're just using this ____ as furniture. ICly, we're not in a place for walk-up RP, sorry :\ )).
