Re: RPI, RPE, and Roleplay
I'm afraid this is quite a futile topic as the muds that claim to be Roleplay Enforced don't enforce roleplay at all anyway. RPI's don't even really enforce roleplay. I've seen plenty of players on all muds that don't really roleplay at all. They are the same player every time you see them. The term roleplay is also contested to mean many different things to many different people.
To some roleplay simply means an 'escape from reality'. To me it means something much more. Much like acting, taking on a role, and staying in-character while you're roleplaying. Others prefer global OOC channels so they can break character constantly and talk about IC things and laugh about it.
