In my opinion. Â If your public, outside of a house and saying something in the public.. assume everything you have said CAN and WILL be used against you in the future.
No need to consent to it, you consented to it already by speaking publicly. Â However that is my personal opinion of it. Â If you need to ask consent for everything in role-play its no longer role-play.
I notice, that some people have issues with this. Â However, the problem with that is as soon as you ask they 'go quiet' and stop talking about such sensitive things that could affect their character.
I've even had it where "Hey, can I listen to you?" "Sure." IC: "I think we should go someplace a bit more quiet."
lol.. its like: "Why even roleplay?"
Although Open Roleplay seems rather .. quiet lately i'm afraid. Â =/
Well the issue with that is (not that I agree with this response) that not every RP session that happens is considered 'open' and that some people are happy to use locations in the game as private spaces just as a type of 'setting placeholder'. For example, the Pearl Lane is really the only area in the game (among one or two others) that fit the 'shady alley' setting. I personally know people who have used it as such without it actually being the Pearl Lane. I mean, I think that's pretty fair? Some people really like to have a visual setting to stoke their RP creativity. If they didn't, we wouldn't need to RP in the game at all, really.
The point is, you never know the circumstances of an RP session unless you ask and talk to the RPers. That's the challenge with playing any sort of subterfugal character. You're always going to need OOC permission, but you also have to keep it interesting. Outside of that, you'll have to rely on OOC trust that the other person wants the same things out of the experience so you can do what you trying to do, and that's in very short supply when it comes to walkups or RPing with strangers.
