Quote:Is it ok to OOC tell people what they are doing doesn’t really mesh with the story that you are trying to tell?
Yes. A thousand times yes. Your story is yours. Your character is yours. The plot was between you and the other player. No one gets to arbitrarily decide to effectively end your plot just because their uninvolved character thinks they need to but in.
The RPer who arrested you should have asked in first and should respect your plot. I know a lot of RPers hate to interupt the flow of things but if things are getting out of hand or you feel that your plot is being snatched out from under you I would recommend calling for a freeze and an OOC discussion prior to continuing the RP. Invite people to party and hash it out.
People should respect the boundaries you have in mind for your plot and the general direction you want it to go.
I'll give you a for instance. Obsidian Hornet is VEHEMENTLY against slavery and exploitation, especially against miqo'te. There have been a number of times where I have been in /em range of RP that doesn't involve Hornet but that does involve slavery or exploitation. Do I have Hornet charge in to every scene I happen across? No. Because it's not my plot. And if I did want to get involved in a way that extended beyond finger-wagging and maybe doing a bit of yelling or snarky comments I would talk to the players oocly first.
