@Gashlycrumb No, my PC stabs Larry Leader in the face. And when staff goes ‘no this is not allowed’ go ‘I dunno, it sure looks like I got enough successes to kill Larry and take the throne’ and then when I get PK’d other people will maybe quit due to staff cheating fuckery. Or not. But whatevs.
y’all. go outside. for…like…a while.
being in this headspace is just Not Good, for anyone involved.

Larry Leader tells your PC, “Fuck you, you useless fuck. Now lick my asshole for a few hours every week if you want me to give you the chance to do something that will benefit me and almost certainly harm you. I will not pay you for it. I won’t even let it improve your reputation if I can prevent that, and I can.”
So your PC does it 'cause that’s good RP?
No. Your character’s IC response to being asked is normally where the good RP happens. Though perhaps in some cases the response leads to the same request and repetition is the definition of insanity.

Bold to assume that Larry Leader was asking. As if it was a normal RPG story where Lord Larry Leader fills the narrative role of plot-hook-distributor and says, “You peasants, bring me the head of Fred the Foe or I’ll set these puppies on fire!” Yeah, that’s fun, and my IC response is where the fun tends to happen.
But no, that’s not the situation I am describing. Larry’s not asking. There are no negative consequences to Larry if he waits forever to make a move on that head, so he can do it himself when he feels like it, or give it to his bestie, or forget about it. Any loot or interesting information picked up from going to get the head will be his.

Just picture the prat in your tabletop group who whines “but it’s what my character would do” becomes your supervisor at work. That’s the level of shitfuckery we’re talking about here—I don’t have the exact same experience as Gashly but it’s been going on in WoD (at least) for the past coughcoughcough decades that we all know the dance steps.

Oh yeah! I remember that, I think we were there at the same time, but I can’t seem to remember the name of the woman you were with. What was her full, unmarried name again?
