[Resolved] Ethics Of Pre-Planning

[Uniquename111 52]

Just a quick question, is it ethical if I were to pre-plan RP on the server (and is it okay for others to do this)? For example, if I really wanted to get kidnapped for some reason, could I ask a kidnapper OOC to kidnap me? Or, another scenario, if I know someone IRL and for some reason we decided our characters should marry, is that okay? Also, is it ethical and alright for people to start wars on their own through OOC (just wondering, not naming names)? Please respond with an answer, preferably if it is alright and in what scenarios/situations.

It's perfectly fine to do that. I mean, this server is about fun RP, and if you are dissatisfied with the RP you currently have, or just think the __ RP will be better, go for it. The only thing I would say is, even if you make a plan, RP as if you hadn't. If someone tried to kidnap you, resist. I mean, you don't have to resist and get away, maybe your character is fatigue from training or something, things happen, and you lose. And now you are enslaved or whatever.

Some of my best RP comes from previous OOC planning. Not scripting, but planning. Remember that they are different, and often, scripted RP isn't nearly as fun a general-idea-planned RP is.

Alright, thought so, though are there any situations where general pre-planned RP is wrong?

Ehhh, I'm sure there are a few. Like, say you are competing with someone in RP, that is out of the loop, for lets say, a girl. If you and they girl have already decided that you two should get married, even though the other guy is a better pick for the girl by the girl's RP standard, it would be wrong and unRP for her to pick you, in RP.

Not sure how much sense that made, buttt okay.

Okay, got it.

Okay, got it.

If this is completed, you can mark the answer I gave as 'helpful' or something like that, near its bottom right. Soooo, the guide's will know when it's complete.
