I don't think the route of losing on purpose is a nice one to actually RP with, because that invalidates the others' win. and this is why I don't really like action RP to begin with -- no matter what happens, I tend to end up unhappy OOC with it somehow, sighs. maybe it's a matter of perspective?
... I'm rambling again, wow. tl;dr I agree and if I do that when I am more able to, it will be as tastefully as possible and allow everyone to make their own IC/OOC stance on it.
When it gets down to it, you're the one who chooses who you RP with. Not them. And as for action RP, what tends to solve that is heavy OOC communication. I find I am much more satisfied with having my character get the shit kicked out of him if we discussed it and determined stuff like "no lethal blows".
Just, know this: You will never please everybody. But don't let that get you down. There are people out there itching for something new. Your roleplay could be very refreshing to them and those are the people you want to give the time of day.
I wish you all the luck in your endeavors. Both of my characters are listed in my signature. Send me a friend request if you like. I can get you in touch with some really nice people.
