Re: Dealing with RP Attention Hogs

Agreed though I would add that an RP attention hog would not necessarily do everything they can to ruin or destroy an RP plotline if they can simply shift the center of attention to themselves. In other words, if the RP plotline can continue with them as the focal point instead of someone else, they won't necessarily destroy it so much as hijack it. If they can't shift the attention to themselves, then yes, they'll often times end up ruining or destroying it in their attempt.

Dealing with it is something that requires a case-by-case basis depending on the personality of the player. Sometimes talking to them can put a stop to it before it becomes too bad and sometimes you simply have to resort to harsher punishments.
