[QUOTE="Tharivious_Meliamne, post: 2559420"] Fair enough, I intend to be fully mature about this, just so that you know. :) [B][/B] Not so. I am not saying that [u]all[/u] characters have to acknowledge [u]all[/u] other characters. I am saying that at least [u]some[/u] should, by sheer law of averages, some characters should at least notice such things. [B][/B] That's very true, I agree with this point. One cannot account for the OOC aspect of things, and one cannot expect it to be known upon entering a room who is and is not AFK unless you see them posting to the room. [B][/B] I agree with this point as well, and as I stated in the first post, characters in the ISRP area are equally likely to be hardened planeswalkers who have seen just about everything as they are to be a standard low to mid level character. And again, I'm not saying that anyone needs to be awestruck by a sight that walks into the place, or even that they need to show fear/ malice/ surprise/ etc... just that an [i]acknowledgement[/i] of the character would be something that might show that people are actually paying attention. [B][/B] Again, I agree completely. Every individual player has the right to decide how their character reacts to something, I have yet to say anything to the contrary. My point in the matter is that logically speaking, at least someone would notice something out of the ordinary, even if the masses did not. [B][/B] Again, I am not 'demanding' anything. I am not saying that [u]all[/u] characters have to acknowledge [u]all[/u] others. I am [u]suggesting[/u] that perhaps once in a while players at least give a glance at others, because it would make those who do not yet know anybody feel more welcome. This discussion was not posted out of any motivation for popularity, if that is what you were implying by that. Characters who become popular become so on their own, usually by approaching others and getting to know them. Likewise with players, and thereby posters on these boards. I am not saying anything about breaking the Freedom of Destiny that players have as far as how their characters interact with others, merely suggesting that by giving even a slight acknowledgement to another player can make this place more welcoming to others. It is the player's choice how their characters act, and it should be thier choice. However, that does not mean that the players should become exclusionists that don't notice others. My characters who stand off on their own and away from others might not be looking to make new friends, but think more along the lines of a new player who might be looking to make his first acquantaince in the chatrooms and isn't sure how to do so. Such a player might feel invisible if no one notices them, and if it continues, the entire community could easily lose a potentially good member. That is my point. And again, I repeat that I do not expect anyone to stand up and take notice. My point in that part of the example is that it was a slow night in the room, the screen was not scrolling at a fast pace, and there was logically plenty of time for someone to at least [u]glance[/u], but that no one did.
