@deadculture said in The limits of IC/OOC responsibility:

@darinelle I don't think giving people OOC grief is fun or fair in any way; naturally, people will talk about someone else behind their backs and there's nothing that can be done about it, but people should have the sense to at the very least not freak out at the PC two months after the fact unless they were directly affected and aren't given a chance to.

Grumble, talk into your drink, look away when she enters the room, sure, but you don't need to walk up and give her shit over a difficult decision after what's an eternity in MUSH terms.

But yeah, there's a point where 'Oh it's just my character giving hers shit' stops being that and starts being undeserved and unfair.

It's not just OOC.

There can be a multitude of valid IC reasons to dislike a character. That doesn't mean you have to demand to have a scene with them to just give them hate. Just - hate them. My character hates lots of people. LOTS OF PEOPLE. I am cold to them in group scenes or ignore them. And... I have yet to message any of them saying "hey, let's talk" and then turned that into "I hate you and here are all my valid reasons why."

That's what I mean when I say "have some consideration for the player, even if my character hates theirs for valid reasons."
