But if they are novices, a standard model for how to learn anything is the three stage model: (1) start by copying what skilled people are doing (2) understand how to modify the rules when it makes sense (3) invent new rules. So yeah, my advice to a new player would indeed not to try and be a paragon of roleplaying, but instead be a team player and conform rather than annoy.Once you get skilled and no longer just want to do the easiest thing, you can learn how to role-play or game the way you like within the constraint of not being annoying. And then you get to GM and have the burden and joy of leading the groupthink.</blockquote>
