I think the staff is really in a no-win situation when it comes to this type of thing.  There are some players who won't get involved in anything unless they know it's `a real scenario', and others who feel that any attempt to get them involved in some small way is a 'scripting check.'

I usually tend to stay away from official RP events; I guess I'm better at soap operas than feature films. When I played ERCs in the past, it always bothered me that so many people would whisper to ask me if I was a `real character' before they decided how they wanted to respond.  My response was often that I had been told I was quite a character before, or I would basically just ignore the question.

I don't think that favorite players are chosen for RP events because they are `favorites,' I think it's more that the staff wants to get someone involved that they know will carry through. Often a less known person starts out with the ball, but rather than running with it, passes it to the star. The only time I really have a problem with that is if the stars in most events are alternate characters of staff members because they want to make sure things go as planned.
