you can all do whatever you want ha.

one first side, yeah, when you're having a conversation, and irrelevant stuff (for you) pops up, you're not gonna like it. but imagine it's a different conversation.
e.x if you're discussing how tasty cakes are and  some people start discussion how fluffy bears are, you're not gonna tell them to shut it and go away, are you?

secondly, some people wanna RP in certain areas. e.x I wanna RP near waterfall not in the god damn desert, doesnt mean I should go away..

and thirdly, use ignore button? I dont use that button at all, so im not quite sure if it blocks peoples messages in general chat, but afaik it does. so use it whenever someone starts RPing. and boom problem's gone.

I don't see it as an argument, really. Just a matter of balancing personal preference with public courtesy, and that's easier said than done. Just to reiterate Sharpey's point because I share the same opinion:

Quote:I have no issue with public RP until it gets in the way. If people are trying to have a chat in public, it's common courtesy to let them do that. If there are people around but nobody's talking, fuck it, knock yourself out, but in the event of a conversation breaking out nearby, don't get angry if you're asked to go somewhere more private. Personally I'll never do anything more than kiss and fondle in public, but that's simply my preference.

Mutual consent is important - and the problem with a lot of public RP is including other people into a scene that they might not necessarily want to be a part of. Whether it's a matter of sexual preference or not, it breaks the immersion for other people who are having their own conversations. I'd say it's much easier to put a conversation about fluffy cakes and bears on the back burner than, I don't know, being made to be a voyeur (especially to something that might turn me off)   

You did bring up a good point about location though, Bor. I think this public/private thing is more of an issue in places where lots of different people gather (Wild West, Alley, Lagoon). I wonder if it'd be easier to designate new areas in the future to be "themed" (BDSM, public RP, etc.) - unofficially, maybe, to keep it inclusive and fun to explore.

(Edit: Oh, and correct me if I'm wrong. Does ignoring someone only apply privately? I thought I still saw someone I ignored talk in the general chat, but I'm not sure.)
