This is more of an aside, but I felt it was relevant.
I'm unfamiliar with the incident in dispute, however many times RPers will be - for whatever reason - enacting their combat/events in a place that is not actually where they are physically located. Â As we do not always have the luxury of RPing in a bubble, we have often stated that a particular out-of-the-way area is to be treated as a linkshell's private training base, to use an example from my own history.
I'm not assuming this was the case, but I just wanted to offer a possible explanation why one might be ignored if involving him-or-herself with RP in progress. Â A simple explanation that it was not open RP would probably have been more proper, if that was the case. Â Sometimes it's interesting to try and involve yourself with another group's ongoing RP scenario as it adds a feeling of realism and community to the thing. Â Other times events are treated as happening within a bubble for some reason or another.
To reiterate - because I know someone is going to be all, "zomg that's not what happened!!!" - I make no assumptions about how this transpired but only wanted to offer an alternative viewpoint. Â I don't really need nor wish to know the details since it seems like a bit of a sour subject anyway.
