When roleplayers get frustrated with others due to other roleplayers pulling ooc feelings/drama or such things I give them this advice.

Rather then take all those ooc feelings/drama and routines of an another roleplayer into consideration, talking to them in IM . coddling and coaching them through it...blah blah.
Drop them. With a silent thud. And a courteous polite notice of "No problem, I'll leave you out of this roleplay completely". And walk away.

Leave them in the dust.

Calloused? Cold? No. it's a way to inform those ooc emotional players that this is roleplaying and if you can't handle it, or don't want what is happening,you get your way. It ends. No more discussion IM talking, discussion or anything like that.
Guess what? over time you will find you will find more and more roleplayers who DO do that freedom of roleplaying out everything from that dangerous, on edge roleplay to making a simple drink at a table be a roleplay that immersed you into the game and made you feel like you were *there and living it*.
The rest of them are .in the dust. *winks* they don't call it Cities of Dust for nothing

I so agree.. it gets tiring with people making rp so ooc related and then start trying to give silly IC abuse over ooc feelings.. I usually try to avoid rp with people like that or find it hard to be Lina around them.. Cuz Lina is not nice IC well not to everyone .. but in no way am I like that ooc. It makes it really hard when people get offended, take things to heart and cause drama for others.. that to me is not right.. Its rp and I understand sometimes things may get heated.. but if you start to really have issues with it I suggest walking off from it rather than pressing on the story and trying to create more rp that is ooc releated. I just find it rediculous the extremes some would go to making the IC hard for everyone especially when its done out of an ooc spite. I can only say I felt uncomfortable in rp around people I can just feel the tension between and I wasnt part of but it really affects others too.. It makes it hard to enjoy rp when you know others are having ooc problems with it.. And yet, still continue it.. That I dont get. Walk away from it.. avoid it.. dont add fuel to fire.. that way we can all have a more fun rp and not watch drama unfold over an ooc spite.
