I really, really wish there were an easy way to tell when it's okay to inject myself into people's RP and when it's considered intrusive. Personally I LOVE when outsiders acknowledge an RP that I'm having in public, because it makes the world feel more real to me. And I'd love to contribute to that also for people who feel the same way I do.
One of my favourite early memories of RP was when me and a few of my FC-mates were doing an IC Stone Vigil run, and when we approached the place, someone who was standing nearby warned us about the horrors inside and pleaded with us to reconsider going off to certain death. That was just so perfect and it set the tone wonderfully.Â
But, I also know there're people who feel that randoms involving themselves in their RP is generally unwelcome.
I've gotten into an RP only to back out and then get a /tell saying "I wish you hadn't left, that was fun." And I've never had the opposite experience really, of people saying my getting involved was unwelcome, but I'm sure people are just not going to say anything if it was. So hard to tell.
Currently my rule is to engage for a little bit, and then based on the interaction, try to get a sense for whether I'm unwelcome and then gracefully dip out. It's easy enough to "walk away" after you "walk up" after all.
RP etiquette is impossible sometimes... ho hum.
