Most of the time when I attend events like Grindstone/Runestone, etc, a half dozen of us from the same FC/LS all go together and meet up with friends there who we've met up with before, so we might already have some 6-8 other RPers to pay attention to at the time. I know I've missed some outside messages directed at me, and had to go back and find them and reply to them. This isn't because I don't want to RP with anyone outside my circle, however, I just missed it.
To echo this... Kaiz and I are part of the same group and go to the Grindstone/Runestone weekly unless something comes up... So we're watching out for not just our groups chat if we're on the sideline, but we're also trying to watch the fights as they scroll by.
Seras will try to follow the person that beat her usually and cheer them on. It's part of friendly rivalry at the above mentioned events. She's even established a friendship among the person that beat her the first time she was there.
It boils down to the players at the keyboard, the characters, and how fast that chat is scrolling by. When we're watching fight prompts or looking for a friend's chat while with a group things can, and will, be missed. Sending a tell is always something I'd suggest doing if you feel like your stuff got ignored or missed. I've been known to send tells to people if I feel I missed something of their's and they'd repost for me.
The chat scroll is real... All too real...
