Person A likes to roleplay while wearing a three-metre-wide purple hat. He uses the name "SSJGOKUSSJJJJSJ123" and persists in asking other characters who they think will win American Idol. Is this bad roleplaying?
Ah! Don't answer just yet! First, ask yourself if
you've ever roleplayed while wearing a huge purple hat.

I do? As I recall, I've only talked about one: You.

No, that's just a matter of general gaming experience. I know what breaks up believability and irritates other people, because these things are common to all types of roleplaying. Wearing a hat or playing on Thursday doesn't change basic human psychology.

Where? You seem to be giving me a lot of imaginary assumptions. I've merely been talking about good roleplaying protocols, I haven't asserted that people tend to follow them.
