[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8173318, member: 6801228"] I agree, good thing I'm not doing that. Again, the point is not judging how you RP. The point is that people who cannot separate their character from themselves often end up taking extreme offense when bad things happen to their character. I am not judging how you RP. I am not talking about Stances. I am not doing any of that. If I was, I wouldn't tell you in every single post that I am not doing that. To repeat it again, I am not doing that. If they think they are really going on a date with a fictional person in their head, that is not what I would consider rolepaying. If they aren't thinking it is a real date, then they are considering it as though the character were perhaps some sort of puppet or avatar that they control. What do you think a puppeteer is doing when they use their puppets to act our a scenario? Maybe... crafting a story? If I take two slices of bread and a slice of cheese and put them together, I am crafting a sandwich I may not be considering the fact that I am crafting a sandwich, but I am taking those actions with intent of an outcome, likely to eat said sandwich. When the characters begin moving in the scene (oh hey, there is a novel/theater/movie term we use to describe a specific chunk of the DnD game) they are acting with an intent of accomplishing actions that will affect the narrative (oh hey, there is another novel/theater/movie term) They do have that intent, because otherwise they wouldn't act. No consideration to the story? So, they aren't following clues? Seeking Treasure? Maybe out for vengeance against a foe? There is no monster they were sent to hunt? No inciting incident or crisis they need to resolve? I think you are too hung up on picturing someone sitting down with the explicit statement "I want to make a story" and ignoring that the moment you sit down and consider your next move because of something an NPC did to change the situation, you are making decisions with consideration towards a story.
