It seems to me the issue here is a disagreement about what roleplay actually entails. Is it, as some here seem to believe, simply following a script you wrote for yourself at char gen? Is the character sheet some sort of binding document that ought to be used to force the player to make the "right" choices for his/her character? Personally, although I do enjoy a bit of acting, I wouldn't want to play in a game like that. I believe rather that roleplay is an activity in which one assumes not only the abilities of the PC, but also its skills and resources, and makes decisions about what to do with them to the best of the player's, not the character's mind you but the player's abilities. Anything less is simply acting out a part, whether it was you or someone else that wrote that part for you.</blockquote>
