It’s really easy to just want to limit romantic RP to people you already know and trust. On the other hand, I’ve MADE some really good friends through taking chances on new RP partners. So it’s hard!!! Why are people people.

@farfalla I do think there are many people out there. A lot of the time the OOC expectations of IC exclusivity read to me like just a way to try to curtail the worry about dealing with another person’s weirdos, or wanting a certain level of knowing that they’ll be the priority if they need a +1, ect. Which I do totally understand. It’s hard to express that I think without worry about seeming controlling. And having those discussion with someone you don’t know can sometimes be kind of difficult. And while some folks are great about being able to work through that without OOC discussion, until you know that about someone–I mean I can understand why people maybe just want to do generalities.
My own current situation is that while my PC would like nothing better than to raise children, ect–he also is, well I guess not quite WORTHLESS as a political match, but ain’t no one going to be breaking down that door either. Add in the OOC issue of what happens to houses when active people marry out and like–I’m not sure Arx in particular (while having an awesome AWESOME IC cultural setup for it!) is very easy to be totally IC about such things just because of those other issues that aren’t anyone’s fault. So there’s that level too, that really has nothing to do with someone’s willingness or not to take on risk and the like! I am grateful that culturally it’s set up so that I can engage in the RP I like regardless, where there might be tension/longing at times but there’s also happiness that can be found outside of the Happily Ever After /married/ pathway.

This is why I almost exclusively ship with friends. The risk is high with strangers.
That’s exactly why I do this. I don’t trust the rest of you(general you). Also, the fact that I don’t do a lot of TS these days in romance(still do it, just not nearly as much as in the past)seems to be a non-starter. Which is fine, just something I’ve noted.
-
I don’t do romantic RP of any kind these days. I was all about it in another era but I’m very happily married these days and I just don’t desire to access that side of my personality for anyone other than my partner.
I would RP the shit out of a completely non-romantic political marriage tho. Like straight up do whatever you want with whoever you want but if it results in any drama that impacts our Household don’t be surprised if your lover ghosts you I mean a literal ghost I’ll have them killed.

POLITICAL MARRIAGES AREN’T ARX-SPECIFIC IT COULD BE ANY GAME INVOLVING LORDS AND LADIES
-
@Roz When all you have is an image that says DON’T ARX, everything looks like ARX.
-
@Roz How many lords and ladies games are actually active besides Arx? Not that you’re wrong, but y’know.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

people could be talking about past game experiences!!!

@Roz now we’re talking about arx though so

I had quite a bit of fun (and dramaz) around political marriage play on Fading Suns games. And one other original theme place that I can’t remember the name of. Also on WoD once too, around generational oaths. So the opportunites have been out there, but the same sort of worries/problems seem to crop up!
-
@mietze I think I would enjoy the hell out of a (GENERIC MUSH) political marriage that started off ambivalent or even antagonistic and slowly morphed over time into respect and friendship or even romance or didn’t morph at all.
-
@mietze I’m just saying I have some great references.

Someone write up an Ace Lord roster I’d be that hubby.
