I come from a roleplaying guild, the honored maidens. We take roleplaying very seriously and rarely speak to one another out of character, or make any kind of personal RL remarks.

Cell says his betrayal etc. is his way of roleplaying. I take issue with that. In THM, let's say one of the leaders wanted to take their character in a new direction and betray the guild as part of their storyline.

Rather than just doing it and letting the guild suffer due to their actions, a responsbile RPer would talk to one or two other leaders OOCly and say something like ((as part of my storyline, I want my character to go berserk and betray the guild and make a grand exit with guns flaring. How can we make this happen?))

Then, as a group, they would discuss a storyline and enact it in such a way that everyone in the guild is aware that it is a roleplaying event (even if the details are left as a surprise to most of the guild). That way, the roleplaying is less of a selfish act by one person, but an event that everyone can enjoy.

And, more importantly, no bridges are burned and there are no hard feelings or personal attacks - because everyone knows it's part of the "plot".

So, basically, I don't buy the explanation that you can betray other people and try to destroy a guild and then come back later saying it was "roleplaying". It's a selfish act, and that's not what true roleplaying is about.

Just my 2 credits.

Exactly. I like how you think

I agree, one thing that pains me from time to time is RP is used as a scapegoat to cover up inexcusable actions. I have had people personally speak to me via tells, saying that they use RP as an excuse to avoid CSR intervention. I'm not saying what you did goes against any rules, but such responsibility needs to be taken to be considered RP. RP has it's bounderies, like Xan said.

It does have it boundries. Look I am a MBH and trust me I love to kill every Jedi I see but I refuse to hunt Dark Jedi for the reason being of the guild. If it was up to me I Roleplay my BH to hunt any bounty he could collect but I enjoy being Imperial too
