Right now RP seems to be a bit well....Roxbury. What do I mean by the Roxbury RP Analogy..well I'll narrate using this video listing certain time intervals to express my impression of current RP scenarios that I feel are going on at the moment for me anyways. RP is like a dance, it has to flow, there's timing and rhythm leading to cadence. Of course there are those uncomfortable tangents that get thrown into the mix....1017 for example...
Ya sometimes I feel like I'm one of these guys when observing RP.....
(NOTE: this does not reflect my personal RP etiquette, so if you get that impression...well that can't be helped.)

(REPLACE DANCING WITH RP)
1. 0:00-0:18s  Alright going to a Heavy RP event
2. 0:18s-0:31s   Wow RP everywhere, everyone's having a good time...where can I somehow insert myself and jump in
3: 0:33-1:02:Â Send Tell: ((Wanna RP? No? *tries again* ((No? *again* Ok finally some action..
Starts RP....then 2 other people come in already while you try to establish a foundation...@(&#@#!
4.1:02-1:26 OK moving on to next venue, chastising my social awkward approach & delivery
5.1:26-1:35Â Different event, somewhat more light to medium RP
6. 1:37-2:09 Â Â Let's try this again. /em Uses some emotes to facilitate an introduction and ease into it but unfortunately misunderstandings to who it's directed to ensue. Other RPers in vicinity confused and intercept but finally a response! No wait...those two are already RP'ing, you know what F it, I'm just going to interrupt
Damn, just feels like I'm with the same 3 people the whole time- Uh oh kicked out of Host LS moderator.
6. 2:14-2:26 Basically how I feel about IC LS channel RP when everyone is all over Eorzea. It's like texting, only....not really immersive.
7. 2:30-      Interrupting an *ahem* intimate RP moment between two people. Gives it a shot anyways. Gets OOC bashed and ostracized.
8. 3:04-3:09 ERROR 90000
"What the hell is going on?" Log back in crossing fingers. No 1017 no 1017. QUE! 3:10 YES. All is well.
9. 3:13Â Â Â Â Â Duty Finder dungeon RP attempts with non-RP people. Spoon feeding them insight into the multidimensional layered onion that is RP, but they look at you like you're crazy.......3:32 well don't know if I just settled or if I converted a non-RP person who might now want to dabble. SCORE!
I think.
3:39 Ooh I actually got a need on loot.
