Oh, definitely not saying to be forced to include people. But I do think people should show consideration when choosing to RP in certain spots of high density like the Quicksand. If you want an inclusive event, do it in party at that point and disable your nearby text, or do it on the forums/in skype. But if you're gonna do an RP and have things drawing attention to yourself, what's the point of doing it there? It just feels inconsiderate at that point.Â

I do love when people clearly are trying to involve those around them - that's a great RP'er in my book.Â

Yeah, I'd tend to agree to a certain point there in that, if they really don't want outside involvement, to take it to a private channel (partially so they're chat isn't clogging up the channel for others, too.) I suppose I can't speak much to what others have in mind there because, like I said, I really like doing plot things in public spaces if it's appropriate to whatever's going on... Specifically to involve other people. If it isn't realistic to the situation or to the choices of my character though, I'll do it somewhere else.

Even from the perspective of 'random person walks up and starts involving themselves in a group's conversation'-- seen as a favorable tendency or not, that *does* happen in bars all the time and is part of the organic nature of the place. Of course, if a character does that (interjecting themselves into a scene), it is good to keep in mind that those they're walking up to might not, ICly, receive them well, just like in RL.

Personally, I only really label the RPers themselves as "rude" at that point if they just straight up ignoreÂ the person trying to get involved and don't bother to respond to them. If the *character* is rude and brushes me off, then that's one thing, because I can't fault them if that's IC for them. If they straight up don't respond to me though, that's another story, and is clearly the choice of the RPer. (Or otherwise a case of them just not noticing my post, of course!)

Finding RP outside the Quciksands, or with more people in g eneral?
