For the people that don't know, OOC stands for Out of Character. It looks a lot better as abbreviation in the title.
I feel we need an OOC thread. I already earlier spotted some banter in the posts and that's not a big problem, but it can disrupt the flow and the RPG itself is not the place for that. I guess nobody minds a line here or there, but nobody wants to see chat conversations or discussions in their RPG.
So in general if its out of character, post it here.

I'm not sure this should be in Main Campaign section, but then, where else would it fit?
I think this should get moved to New Games, and I would do it myself, but it's your choice.

I spotted someone who disagrees, and I didn't responded earlier cause I didn't feel starting a discussion, but I guess I need to defend my actions. I can't dance around it now, can I? Note: I did remove some of the quoted lines out of the RPG topic, mainly because they are distracting the RPG. We didn't had a place for offtopic talk, now we do, so I don't think those lines are needed in the RPG anymore. Just cleaning the place a bit up. all lines are here for reference purposes. ((IF RARITY IS PLAYING HERSELF CORRECTLY)) ((what resulted from that would have been [if characters were played to show counterparts] rarity running after Trixie, rarity getting her hair turned green, again, and rarity running off wailing. all night.)) Let me first off say, we are playing after the last episode, so the events to describe already happened earlier. That would mean Rarity would have learned from earlier dealings and will not risk entering a same risk situation again, ponies do learn. It's also reflected in he fact Trixie gets a lot less attention, everypony already knows her tricks and nobody believes her stories. Secondly, the whole Rarity whining is mostly played short, not entire nights. And most of the time she only does it when you directly assault her or when she fails at impressing the big names in fashion. Not for insults, she has handle those quite fine. and even if we had entered a whining scenario, it wouldn't have lasted longer then the time it takes for a friend to consort Rarity. (At the other side, wallowing in self pity is what Rarity can do for days, but that's not the whining you call wailing) Lastly, my weakest argument is the story progression. I post a lot slower then some of you others out there and Trixie had already moved on, there was no room for confrontation (although I had planned out options).

So this is like the main campaign but for our OOCs? I might need to explain it a bit better, but where I come from (DnDRPGs) every RPG thread had its own OOC thread. The idea was that in the RPG the only thing happened was RPGing, where in the OOC thread people could talk about the RPG, comment on things and discuss together without interrupting the RPG. I don't think we need it that strict, but to point to my earlier post here, I didn't want to be in the RPG, it would be really jarring to the story flow.

That's a really good idea, I understand now.
We should make it compulsory for all games in "Ongoing Games" to have an OOC thread. Ones in New Games wouldn't need it though, because they might not last long.

IMO, you should all listen to Trixie more. She's actually amazing. Lol If you ever see her fanfic backstory, you would see why I like her. It's on the MCForums one about 5-10 pages back.
