I'm tired

[Dab]

I'm going to give an example.. The RP story Questioning Loyalties was written by myself, Zapp, and Dieter together. Before making this story, I first went over the details of the character, what she was going to do, why, and what Zapp and Dieter should do. As the story went on, we continued to discuss important things via Skype and PM -before- they were posted, to avoid any powergaming. Things that directly affected other characters for example. Those of you who read it may remember how Evyn kidnapped Admiral Nelles' mistress and pretended to be here in order to try and kill him.. That whole scene was discussed in private before being written and posted. That's how cooperative RP should be handled.

In the past we didn't do that and we had some powergaming on all sides, but it didn't get hugely out-of-hand, and if someone did step over the line, someone would tell them and they would fix it. The current enviroment here on Disco isn't as kind anymore, as people are loath to do what others tell them to, and the majority of people here are opposed to any kind of criticism that isn't in their favor. Several posts in this thread are great examples of that.

So in order to avoid that and to make the story as fun and entertaining to everyone else as it is to you, discuss major events in private before-hand.
