I admit I personally went a bit over the top with non-RP chat last night over the shell (at least by my standards), but that was boredom, coupled with the fact that I always get more talkative when I'm tired and I was getting a little more comfortable after being brought into conversations a little. Maybe it's good that I opened up with the community because normally, I never manage to do that so quickly (if at all, in some cases).
What concerns me most is that when I asked about RPing over the LS, I only really got 1 reply (unless I missed anyone else's) and the non-RP conversation going on didn't really pause, either. For that moment, it felt like I was talking over a general community that only a select few were roleplayers rather than a complete RP comminuty. As if some members of the LS weren't even interested. I'm probably reading too much into this, but at that point, it felt far more social-based than RP-based.
Thankfully, in the end I did get my RP (much thanks to Kass, Aly, and even Endricane, for his small part in the RP - or at least the part of the RP I was involved in, as he was still RPing when he took Kass on a date in the middle of the desert O.o ). And it was great fun, even if it was all sitting around XD.
Another thing I point out is that so far, other than talk about an event, I've really not heard anyone else try to organise an RP over the shell. Either not much RP goes on during the time when I'm awake (the sucky thing about GMT time is by the time I go to bed, it's still evening in the US, and thus still prime time for online gaming), or a lot of people are using other means to organise RP. If the latter case is correct, then I would really think about toning down the non-RP chat (in my personal opinion, anyway) to try and draw in those people who do want to use the shell for RP planning.
