[H(/N?)-RP] A Roaming Hub - Session Three - Durotar's Heat! 🏜️

And, for what last night seems to show, when someone doesn’t know what the other plans to do, it brings about scenes where one party attacks the other at midnight and the early hours of the morning for most people

It was at around 9:30pm - 10pm with many people online on both sides - with the attack being telegraphed by a much smaller group of rogues unsuccessfully attacking first (to act as a kind of OOC warning)

To paint it as some 3am OOC move isn’t really true to the reality

@Kelduril-argent-dawn

Against Quilboar and centaurs, sure.

If you look up (for example) wanted quests on wowhead, you can find that the Horde puts bounties on a little more than quilboar

They even kill thieves without trial for stealing bread in Orgrimmar as per the cooking dailies

Weird argument

@Yasmyr-argent-dawn

Not what I’m saying, thanks for inferring. As per my original post, it’s not the idea of Consequences people are objecting to, it’s the lack of communication and collaboration around the imposition of said consequences.

Once Rogmasha made the OOC choice to allow the capture (which once again I will say I expected to end in failure on an OOC level, purely because we play in a setting where you can teleport across the world in ten seconds via portals if you choose to do that) we obviously spoke to them about what they’d be OK with for their character (and as far as I know told them they could just escape if they really wanted that)

This is absolutely not the case with this particular piece of roleplay because Rogmasha was an angel OOC and I hope I can be as tasteful OOC when their character inevitably throws mine in a jail cell during SoO mk. 2 but I have seen this weird stance emerge where characters initiate a conflict (without any OOC communication), have the fact that a group is after them IC telegraphed to them (sometimes even with OOC whispers) and then are surprised or even angry (complete with weird OOC emotes) when what they were told was being roleplayed comes to fruitition

On our part the actual consequence part (ie. what happens to the character in question at the end) is more or less left to the person behind the character (if only because that is the only way it works in WoW roleplay, you can’t make someone emote something they don’t want to). What they choose may not be to my personal taste but that honestly doesn’t matter because the choice is theirs

@Yasmyr-argent-dawn

You’re not working together to craft a compelling story, you’re running a steamroller through the middle of it then complaining when people go ‘hey, I don’t like being run over, could you not?’

I think that is pretty disingenuous for you to post considering the amount of communication you and I had during a similar incident =(

@Rogmasha-argent-dawn

Can you imagine needing to expend all your community flags in one day because people decided to have an entirely unrelated and more than a decade old argument in your thread.

Can we move this somewhere else, kindly?

It wasn’t me this time, honest

@Kaytlinne-argent-dawn

I’m pretty darn certain I recall a refusal to acknowledge combat that wasn’t PVP/Duels, correct me if I’m wrong? That might have been a while ago.

That was specifically in relation to 1v1 duels with people you don’t trust to emote fight

Even though Rogmasha’s OOC forum posts make my head spin we have roleplayed in some form since I was like 14 so I trust them quite a bit
