crazy that something which (from reading it being a characters hatred for aliens) is IC is being complained about OOC and for this long lol

just deal with it in character as you're supposed to - i didn't stop playing red dead redemption 2 and complain to rockstar because i didn't like Arthur getting tuberculosis

the aim is both, complaining ooc (it's a CCC not a CC thread after all) and doing something ic about it

you should've, i miss him...
Realest post in this thread

But if you're going to do something about it IC and solve it there.... why complain at all about an In Character action on an OOC management thread?

Make it make sense, you know?

When you let it get into your head, the distinction between OOC and IC is destroyed. At that point it's no longer a game.

Yeah like, this was clearly IC through and through - if there was OOC intent behind any of the actions you would've been told by an admin/management of the faction directly through a pm, steam message or on the forums

You could have taken it entirely IC (as you should have) and skipped this entire (pointless) argument?

it feels nice to complain, gets it off your chest effectively

the process goes like this: thing annoys me/pisses me off, i consider talking about it, thread appears with that designated intent in mind, i post, discourse, resolution is found.

it's like godwin's law but for finding solutions

thing is i was told OOC about a sense of "rebels arent going to like you because of this" when aligning with the NG predominantly, if it really was all 100% IC then it'd be fine but it just sort of made me think there's an OOC element to it, knowing already that vorts werent really wanted for the faction

dw, you're not gonna be blocked from any avenues of roleplay, Lewis isn't anti-roleplay, he's just playing a grumpy Sarge who doesn't like Vorts - most of the Guardsmen like your Vort at the end of the day

Oh yeah like, don't get me wrong I fully understand how voicing being unhappy about something can be a big help - but that necessitates what you're complaining about being a genuine OOC problem

The guy's character just hates aliens, and he's RP'ing that - its not OOC

thing is i was told OOC about a sense of "rebels arent going to like you because of this", if it really was all 100% IC then it'd be fine but it just sort of made me think there's an OOC element to it, knowing already that vorts werent really wanted for the faction
Well I mean yeah that's pretty obvious? Like? If I tell a rebel that cops won't like him for shotcopping on an OOC level is that an issue?

that part's what's keeping me happy with all of it, since i know it's a predominantly IC issue

theres just the sucky element of "this guy rapidly appears and gets promoted to sarge, then screws me out of that nice consistent RP i've been having" that it feels like happened. its a fault on mine since i havent really been on too much this last week (bg3 got me down) so I haven't had much chance to see @Lewis! character at all

more one where just seemed bit "this will happen to you" and didn't feel outright needed for it to be mentioned on that kind of level to me. like i get they won't be a big fan, but i'd rather that only come from that one guy who happened to baseline that entire thing to me IC than both him and an OOC mention about it beforehand

i mean i know im a bit paranoid and suspicious but seeing that OOC stuff, and then seeing (through genuine coincidence in fairness) someone IC repeat a very similar set of points as what was said, including the same thing of "you shot in and hurt/killed people" (which i know isn't true as although i shot in, i only shot in once and never hurt anyone), it just feels a bit pushy in a sense
