On the topic of continuity since although I posted my 2p earlier in the thread, I didn't touch on it for some reason:
I recently "bubbled" a pretty significant and heavily attended RP event I went to. The event portrayed the finale of the 4.0 MSQ. I really enjoyed my attendance there and what happened to my character, and it fits in neatly with what I had in mind for him to do after the MSQ was concluded.
So it will be canon to my character's progression...
...but not yet?
I still have RP I want to do with people who are RPing, quite fairly so, that the 4.0 MSQ is still progressing and that the finale has not yet been reached. Some of it is even MSQ relevant, meaning the RP I want to do is necessarily set before that event I already attended. There's literally about 3 or 4 groups with a little (but not a whole lot) of overlap that I want to be doing this kind of RP with, too, all at different paces - so it's not even a case of "next week", I'm looking more at "4.1 release" for when I will finally canonise the bubbled session.
The thing I'm not feeling confident about is... there are some characters that mine met and bonded with during that bubbled session. What is the etiquette for communicating my situation to them? If they approach me at a public RP event and act as though they know my character, obviously I'll roll with it, but... it wouldn't be offensive, right, if I downplayed the event they met during as simply being "part of the war effort" and not the actual MSQ finale until I'm ready to canonise the thing? What's the least confusing way to communicate that it's an OOC fudge that I'm making and not for once an IC lie?
