Re: What turns people from RP?

I know better than to respond to this, but:

I dislike online RP because the rules are arbitrary, inconsistent, and subject to interpretation to a much greater extent than I prefer. I enjoy figuring out complex but well defined systems and seeing what I can do within the bounds of those systems; RP in general is pretty much undefined and free form.

When I want RP, Ill head back to real life, where I can find any number of fully immersive RP scenarios that actually have strong rulesets.

There's a phrase I've heard frequently when reading about developing countries: A government with consistently enforced bad laws is better than a government with inconsistently enforced good laws. That seems appropriate here. I dig consistency.
