At the very least, you're leaving the door open for them to do so. I generally do all of my RP in /say and I'm always, always open for others to join in. That said, I'm not always the fastest typist, so please don't assume that the lack of an emote in 5 seconds or less is me ignoring you. Give me a moment and I'll respond to you, I promise!
To the larger topic (and not directed at anyone in this thread
), I'll take the OP's post and go one step further and more, well, fiery. If you RP in /say in a reasonably public location, then you are opening the door for other people to join in. If you don't want to do that, then your RP needs to be done in private -- a reasonably private location and preferably in /party, /ls, or something else. Anything else is rude to your fellow RPers and is bad RP. Furthermore, if you ever intentionally ignore another RPer who's trying to interact with you without an extremely compelling reason (i.e., they're harassing you OOC), you're a bad RPer. There is no situation where it's acceptable to outright ignore another player who's trying to RP with you, nor one where it's okay to run your private, pre-scripted scene where no one else is welcome in front of a "live studio audience." Doing either is arrogant, elitist, and harmful to the RP community as a whole.Sorry to rant, but RPers ignoring each other strikes a nerve with me.
