Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning

@Arkandel 1. I have an alt that swears and one that doesn't, really. I think it comes down to class and occupation and general nature. If you're hanging out with posh people, they probably don't drop profanity quite as often.
- On the clothes issue, I have an alt that's noble and ICly has a lot of clothes, but honestly, I can't be bothered. I'll often pose her in general sorts of things -- ie, she's in a "loosely-woven blue summer dress" -- if I'm not wearing coded clothes. I hate DB bloat and managing objects and if there's no code benefit to wearing it (ie, it's not armor) then it's basically just ornamentation. As long as I'm not sticking her in fancy seasilk and dawnstone outfits, I figure it's okay. Who honestly cares if she has fifteen different dresses? No one has time for that stuff.

Can nobles trade information/political moves based on quid pro quo favors? Is this legitimate RP?
Delete the Hog Pit. It'll be fun.
I really don't understand He-Man -
@Ghost Sure.
-
@surreality That's fine. I was posting more for Goldfish anyways.
@Noodle-McDoodle I am the same way. I only recently purchased a silk outfit for the first time in 8 months.

Squid pro crow is always valid.

BY THE WAY: Don't try to use quid pro quo to buy cheap wine at Trader Joe's.
It results in a thing called a "RESTRAINING ORDER", whatever the fuck that is
TRADER MY ASS.

I was looking for a funny image for this, but I found this instead. Close enough.

I learned it reading Ironwood by Bill Willingham. It is definitely NSFW.

In public scenes it's so easy to tell between those who're only farming votes and those who're also farming votes.
- He who takes offense when not intended is a fool. He who takes offense when intended is a greater fool.
-
@Arkandel Haha. I was not farming votes. I just didn't have much to respond too. Not many paid my bit much mind.
-
@Arkandel - I wasn't JUST farming votes! I SWARE.
-
Jokes aside I feel sorry for people who are having a meaningful scene in a public room before we all barge in like a hungry barbarian horde to grind @randomscenes.
One piece of cultural etiquette that's missing is potential newcomers asking for permission first, since bloating a 3-person roleplay into an 11-person monstrosity just isn't cool.Which I was guilty of today as well so I felt bad when people who were there before me started excusing themselves.

Make a duplicate of the room in a RP space.
Sheesh, geta room.
You own room.

@Arkandel - Regardless of game I always ask. Even if it's a public space. But if I need plot-specific development things to happen, I usually try to find a quiet, non-public place.

But that's not how many scenes work. It's not always (or even usually) that I go out and think "hey, I need to meet Bob to talk about the thing" because then yes, we have the option of meeting somewhere private or cloning a room.
A very sizable portion of my RP comes from simply walking into a room with a couple of other people and clicking with them about something. It's usually quite unplanned; in some cases we've never met before.
So it starts to happen, the poses quickly move out of the generic bar RP and into a thing then a forth person comes in. Cool, let's bring them over and...oh, a fifth person. Hey there, at least it'll flow faster now and... oh, a seventh and eighth. And now the topic is completely neutral again, everyone is resetting. And one of the initial people has to drop out because they can't keep up with the sudden influx of OOC spam (one of my biggest peeves, folks joining a scene and starting to chat OOC right in the room). Crud.
And then it's over, this is now a generic bar scene again.
-
Yep.
i've never had a scene, spontaneous or not, survive that many people. Ever.
So, there has to be another answer.
Mine is to allow a global +command that steals the desc, and moves to a RP room for those already in a scene. They are committed, and no longer need the random factor of "this is a place that many can come to".
Or just keep losing the scenes.

My usual method of dealing with the press one finds in a public place is to find refuge in Places. Tuck away in there, contain your roleplay to it, and use general poses to express anything noteworthy that may be noticed by those not in your Place.
It's generally worked pretty well so far.
-
Or do what you would do in reality. If your conversation in a public place has turned into something that really needs to be continued in private...go somewhere private. Stand up and make your goodbyes and go chat about your secret plot to overthrow the shadow government.

As is Skid Row Bro, bro.

I don't ask permission to join public scenes generally. I never understood the thinking of that with public rooms.
