[QUOTE="Fenmarel, post: 2558606"] I just dropped by to say something after my gf pointed this one out to me. Jax and Jardel, From what I have seen in this thread I have to say that I feel the same way as you two do as well on this issue. As Lorna pointed out much bad can come about when dealing with the characters who are dying or the players behind the scenes. Nugan, Maybe you didn't want to make it look as if you were demanding attention, but that is how it was perceived. As Jardel pointed out how about using other methods to get interaction? Speaking for myself only, I play more the dark brooding anti hero types. They aren't quick to help someone UNLESS that person is a friend or has helped them in the past. I play those characters the same way on table top and I am not going to compromise that because someone is getting ignored and dying. That would be totally out of character for the majority of my characters. Since I am the one that usually brings up the issue of cliques and my intent is usually misunderstood I would like to clarify what I mean. I don't have a problem with players of like mind joining together for a pleasant rping experience. Couldn't a IRL gaming group be looked at like they were a clique? I am talking about the ones that band together to make everyone else's life a living hell. The ones that belittle every little thing that a player tries to come up with. The ones that will run to their friends and anyone else that will listen and bad mouth people till they get no interaction at all when they come to the ISRP areas. We all know the type that I am talking about here, we have at one point or another rped with them or actually talked to them on IM's or the many other forms of communication out there. Now I know that usually on this site when someone mentions a clique they are refering to the group of characters that interact with both Jax and Jardel. I am NOT doing that, I repeat I am not doing that. I have had MANY characters approach that group and have had a pleasant rping experience with that group, and I don't talk to a single one of them on any IM so someone can't use the excuse "well he is friends with them".
