We decide what our characters do, no one else. We are not playing a part that someone else has written, we are responding to what is happening in a scene and then translating that to actions of a character.
So while there may be separation of context, there is no separation of responsibility.Â
Now we are all flawed and have different norms, so friction will occur. If that is spoiling the enjoyment and can't be resolved IC, you need to talk OOC. Though even then, just because it is OOC does not mean things will be nice and smooth.Â
People sometimes get along and sometimes they don't... that's just Life.
I am having trouble understanding what you mean by this. Are you saying there is not really an IC because all of our decisions are made OOC and thus all IC actions have the same weight and responsibility as OOC actions? Because if so - I STRONGLY disagree and would honestly be really, really unsettled by this line of thinking. That is like saying all villainous characters should bear the same kind of OOC weight as if they were committing a real crime. Or that people in an IC relationship should be just as dedicated to their IC lover as their OOC lover.
There MUST be a separation or you are doing harm.
