It's a shame that RP is viewed the way it is. I was hoping things were a bit more free and fluid.Â
I guess when I start and try out roleplaying I will just need to prepare myself for a more casual experience and see how I get on.Â
I can't help feeling that anyone wanting to be a little below the law, even if it's just brief, would immediately get swamped and given the ultimatum of 'jail forever, or execution'. There seems to be a lack of empathy to anyone wanting to have a little fun and give protagonists something interesting to deal with.Â
On WoW if you wanted to play a criminal, then when you inevitably get caught (which makes for interesting RP anyway) you'll go to jail. Log off and come back in a day or so. And if you didn't take the piss and actually behaved for a bit that was more or less it. this is an example of course for theft or assault. Actual murder or along those lines is more frowned upon I'll agree.
But the way you guys have talked about it, any punishment is supposed to replicate real life, or at least real life in medieval times. Aka life in prison or death. I don't see much empathy for someone wanting to add a little spice to life.
My advice is to get to know people and set up stuff privately if you wanna avoid the grab-bag that can be public opinion. There's always someone willing!
