Them demins is srs bizness

[summertimesongs]

I play in a WoW guild whose plot centers around killing all these unbound disguised demons who have recently infested my server and for some reason have found myself on the pointy end of the general Sharpened Broom Handle 'o Server Hatred. I mean in the sort of way where I am now a bad person in real life because we killed your half-demon,

Except if they had their character deliberately avoid speaking in Demonic where it would be otherwise appropriate because your character is present it would be A) Metagaming and possibly B) Require clairvoyance, unless you put it in your RSP in which case C) you're doing it wrong in more ways than one.

I know that lots of WoW RP is really trite but when you're in a guild that's basically dedicated to griefing people whose RP is sort of lame? Yeah, THEY'RE not the bad RPers for not responding when you spontaneously try to murder them after a business-as-usual demon summoning in a silvermoon tavern.

We don't mind the people who are actually keeping it secret, except we've run across only one of them. All the other ones are wandering around with horns/wings/hooves/whatnot saying "I'm the child of a demon!" and talking in demonic. Those are the ones we focus our characters on. Not the ones who only have it mentioned in their RSP.

Besides, we're not griefing them. My character hates demons for good reasons, so she's fighting them. I always let the person I'm RPing with decide whether or not they want the character to die. I allow for godmoding in situations where unless they godmoded they would die. I don't have a problem with these people OOCly and often try to keep up friendly conversations with them OOC. Unfortunately most of the time we're greeted with hostility because...I don't know.

... Because you're deliberately singling out a group of players that already gets a bunch of shit from all the people running pregnancy plots and pretending they are ~so much better than that~?

I'm not quite sure what the issue is. They can RP a demon, but I can't RP a character who hates demons and would want to kill them? If they do that in character then they should expect and in character reaction, and not take it out on my OOCly. I can understand if they're new to RP and we often try to talk this out to them OOCly trying to help them, but most of the time we get ignored for whatever reason.

[paperclipchains]

No, you can totally RP a demon who hates demons and wants to kill them. It just isn't very pragmatic approach to manifest that as "I KILL U."

[summertimesongs]

Even though that's what pretty much any lore character that wasn't allied with them would do upon finding out that they were an unbound demon wandering around their city...?

[paperclipchains]

Yes, despite that. You know you are enabling them by acknowledging their nonsensical half-demon characters, right?

The issue is your reason for playing a character that wants to kill demon PCs. If a given type of character really annoys you, the best way to limit your exposure to those characters is, surprisingly, not to make your own character totally focused on the subject of your ire.

If you'd rather not roleplay with demon PCs you really shouldn't make your own character's main goal in life centered on demon PCs.

I don't not want to RP with demon PCs. In WoW lore demons are evil and pretty much screwed up my character's world. I generally enjoy RPing with them until it breaks the OOC barrier.

[mongoose_bite]

By the looks of things, demon RPers don't enjoy RPing with you, however.

[summertimesongs]

Then they don't have to. When they respond to what I say in RP to them willingly then they shouldn't complain when my character tries to kill them because it makes sense for her to. I'm not forcing people to RP with me and I'm not godmoding over them, so they shouldn't act like whiny children. Whatever.
