[QUOTE="D+1, post: 1997388, member: 13654"] I don't think he is representative of proper roleplaying. A proper roleplayer would never have NEEDED to start a meta-game beef. He'd have simply roleplayed his way through the situation after pointing out that is WAS a roleplaying issue. He'd have voiced his CHARACTER'S opinion on the matter and then handled it in-game if it didn't go his way - AFTER considering as a player, how an extreme reaction would be handled by the other PLAYERS at the table. Would it be worth it to REFUSE to compromise if someone DID have meta-game considerations they wanted to be taken into account? Wouldn't it be a BETTER display of roleplaying superiority to handle it entirely in-character when others are (in your opinion) meta-gaming the situation? Q.E.D. By insisting on own roleplaying superiority he's only showing that he hasn't roleplayed the situation at all, but is actually meta-gaming in order to accomodate his pre-concieved and "unalterable" roleplaying solution. And about explaining to characters that roleplaying in the context of a GAME like D&D means accomodating meta-game issues, or at least taking them into consideration. [/QUOTE]
