Understanding Discovery Roleplay...

[Unseelie]

The key is, the vast majority of the players aren't competing with one another...Sure, the factions are, and our characters may hate each other, but if we know that guy from another faction, we are less likely to do anything horrible to them. Less faction loyaty, and more group loyalty. If you look at it as if disco is the clan, and not the faction, then it makes a lot more sense how we all play together well. We play together, and who I shoot toinght may have my back tomorrow morning, so I will respect them, and know they're good folks. Makes it much harder to countenance actually doing something foul to a group if that group is part of a lot of your other groups too.
