I gotta say, the whole "OMG YOU'RE FICTIONAL!" thing is kind of irritating. There's a good reason that kind of thing is against the rules of both MMFRPG and AGOG.

Pretend there's something clever written here.

It's just Konata, because she's a massive nerd and has no actual powers anyways. And I don't really see any problem with it. I think it's a pretty fun character trait.

So, does anybody want to make a new post. I wonder if Konata knows about Liberty City? She was talking to Chun-Li earlier.

I'm inclined to agree with Screw.

Um... wasn't the whole point of this RP characters meeting and interacting? And... Konata's a huge nerd who should know all these characters, I don't see a problem with it. It was even mentioned in her bio.

[up]Well, with Konata, it does make sense, given her otaku nature, but others like Dr. House seem too self-aware for the situation.

^^^ Nuju.

^^ Except that this kind of meta-gaming is annoying to deal with.

It's not meta-gaming, it's in-character knowledge. It's been shown that these shows/games/manga exist in the universe Konata comes from. It's IC for her to know this stuff.

It's not metagamin if it showed up in her series' canon.

It's not metagaming. Even if Konata knows who someone is, there's not an awful lot she can really do about it, after all.

Also... I'm pretty sure interaction was the whole point from the beginning. How is this derailing?

Well, can we stop arguing and start posting in the RP itself? I'm at the North Inn with Chun-Li and Franz Tornado if you're interested in interaction. My character is Toni Cipriani.

Invalidate character development, godmod, metagame...

But whatever, I'm not going to push this any further.

[up]Nothing really. Say, should Konata meet up with Toni and Chun-Li? She is a video gamer.

[up][up]I'm... honestly not sure how I could do any of that, especially given the character I'm using...

But dropping it.

[up]She doesn't know where they are, at the moment. She's a bit distracted.

The point is, it fucks with a lot of characters if they know they're fictional - 90% of characters are not designed with having 4th wall awareness in mind,

[up]I am, I just had to clear one last thing up. Seriously, I have no major problem with the characters pointing things out like that, especially if it's in their nature.

Can we just focus on the RP itself?

[up]Right. From now on, can we cease discussions of meta-gaming in this thread. If you have a problem, take it to PM.
