Else roleplay in party, keep RP tag off, or even better, shoo off to a place no one can run into you.and to that guy since he was there fishing he was ic and just assumed that your characters were ignoring him.
Like man, I don't get this dumb roleplay 'culture' on Balmung that you cannot interact with people, because else it would be impolite. If there's one thing I miss, it is that I could just walk up to whatever damn group I found, and people would RP back at me.
At least they would shoo my character off IC if they couldn't be arsed with them at that point at time. But here on Balmung you get OOC snark for being 'rude' in whispers. Because you dared to interrupt the flow of their apparent private chatbox in /s and /em.
HOWEVER. I hate people going IC when it is convenient for them. I legit had someone just fly up next to me and a group of people. Started fishing. Didn't say a thing IC, until we we're about to leave. THEY SUDDENLY STOPPED FISHING, and got IC. Like dude, woman, whatever, don't do that???? You even clearly saw we were wrapping up, and now you decide, after an hour or lurking, to just chip in. THAT isn't cool to me.
But at the end of the day. Do what floats your boat. I'm just not going to be the biggest fan of people who treat /s and /em as their personal chat for roleplay.
You just never know. Thank the numerous rp communities on the internet for having different interpretations of what makes good rp, and people bringing those interpretations with them a full decade later.
then we all argue.
