Based on previous experiences, you'll get people claiming OOCly white-knighting when really ICly, people are upset someone's picking a fight/harassing their friend. You also get people OOCly claiming people are overstepping their "grounds"/"rank".
If you pick a fight, I know some hate this cause it goes against just having the story write itself, but I completely believe that some OOC communication is needed? Why? Because any type of confrontation I have been in turns into (AND I'LL SAY IT) a clusterfuck. Some of them in massive proportions.
Re: Kiht's scene: ICly Natalie had a linkshell of friends of whom she'd met through her duties or just other things. She calls over the linkshell when confronted. A bunch of them show up.
_____ in said LS gets attacked. People scramble all over the place trying to find THAT ONE FUCKING HEALER who can heal someone from a mauling or a backstabbing.
Kage gets KIDNAPPED from the Quicksand. Kage's friends notice something is up and OOCly as well as ICly I just tried to let things run its course. This actually became one of the most clusterfuck things I have ever seen happen. It was hectic and fun, but ohmyfuckinggod >.> The linkshell was still ICly used and most of these friends were made from meeting people in the Quicksand. You could say it was in its name >.> OOCly I said nothing. ICly, Kage tried to not get people involved because he had a big ass cray femroe willing to shank him. Kage's friends contact each over through the LS and a bunch of them start to confront this femroe. Queue running. Queue kidnapper being tackled while said shiv is still to Kage's back. Kage is shanked and some try to save him while EVEN MORE PEOPLE start to follow and try to track down this femroe.
Femroe is tracked down* and is confronted by like 15 people. It'd be a Mexican standoff because OTHER PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE CURRENT SCENE was looking for Femroe for something else.
Then someone brings the injured Kage to the scene of manymany people and Kage gets taken by another femroe. Who puts an axe to his neck. And people still want to take this new femroe down trying to bluff around Kage's life.
.... Yeah it was a clusterfuck. >.>;
tl;dr: I sincerely believe that if you don't want a scene of 5 people to become a scene of 30 people.... OOC communication!!!!! Especially in a place around or inside the Quicksand.
*At the time I know some people thought the tracking was done.... not quite kosher. Whatever. I don't know anymore.
