*Brain falls out thinking about it*
My high school art teacher was one of those teachers who didn't coddle. If you made a mistake, or something wasn't working, she'd tell us "You have a creative problem. So, find a creative solution for your creative problem." And then she'd just stare at you expectantly.
This is sort of the same vein. Sometimes, if things don't pan out or you don't want to be involved, you have to skim over it or, if you are so inclined, come up with something that has similar enough results so that ICly your characters don't have issues.
I mean, at the end of the day, to me it's not too big a deal. Back when I used to rp on MUDs we had admins who would retroactively stamp out our rp if they didn't like it. I'm talking 12 to 14 hours worth of grueling, down in the mud rp that an admin would say "nope, sorry, we're not doing that. " -- which would leave us in this weird lurch (and considering it was an IC attack on the admin's side in an ongoing conflict . . .welllll, you can imagine how well that went over. You want metagaming? I've got stories
) that we'd just have to sort of skim over. In the absolute worst events, we'd just quietly keep our rp within our clan and extended rp connections.So that sort of problem is, imo, a matter of sitting down and working out solutions to any conflicts of continuity, either as individuals or groups. I mean, I infinitely prefer to have everyone on the same page, but if that's not going to happen then I'd rather just figure out some sort of workable solution (because, at the heart of it, I don't believe that there are situations in rp that aren't in some way fixable) and get back in to that delicious rp.
