I have a question but I'm not sure how to ask it without giving too much away.
Basically I'm trying to get an idea of everyone's current stance on whether they are more likely to play along with (sell) something IC, versus who is more likely to cut down and dismiss something IC.
A couple random examples...
Let's say your character gets absolutely bludgeoned on a show by a sneak attack. To the point where anyone would expect to see hospital time after. Are you the type of writer who sells and plays off of that attack, even though you DIDN'T know it was coming and didn't pre-plan it with someone? Or, are you the type to act like it didn't happen, and perhaps even reply right in the results thread with an IC post as if you're completely unaffected?
Lets say you're booked against someone who has a gimmick like the original Kane or Undertaker. Obviously you never saw people making fun of them, but rather trying to overcome their power and overcome the fear and mystery they present in their gimmick. If a 1990's Undertaker type character was your opponent this week, would your RP be all about what a shitty gimmick he has and just make fun of it? Or would you know how to play along with such a story and feed off of the fear your character would IC be experiencing and trying to find ways to overcome in your RPs?
Hmmm... another variation. Let's say someone makes a character with a gimmick of an MMA fighter who came out of UFC (or wherever) but is obviously made up. Are you the type to go and post things from UFC and try to use "real life" against them, proving their character doesn't even exist at all? Or are you the type to play along and have your character who probably does NOT have the same MMA background, actually take the proper steps to prepare and sell the whole idea of this guy being a beast elsewhere and likely a very unique challenge here?
I hope I made that confusing enough to not give away what I'm not trying to give away. lol I would like the story tellers vs the story killers?(for lack of a better term) to officially make their stance known, so others with similar stances know who to stick with and possibly who to avoid, etc...
Anyone that doesn't answer will probably be assumed to be a story killer instead of story teller, I'm guessing. (I'm not the only person wondering this stuff and looking forward to the replies)
