RP is a collaborative effort out-of-character before it is in-character, and requires working with other players to entertain one another. First and foremost, the player in question, usually, is our friend, or soon will be, and we should make every effort to include them, to work with them, to meet them halfway if there is ever a character or roleplay-based storytelling issue. It is still an out-of-character issue that should first be addressed. I personally think that a solid OOC foundation makes for a much better RP experience.
This is written better than I could express it and it's just the way I look at RP and the OOC communication and trust factor involved. With this in mind, I like to communicate with the FC or FC leaders if I can and leave on good terms. If I try my best to communicate my intentions and come to an understanding then I have a clean conscience.
