            An ooooooold peeve that I was reminded of recently. I was once on a shitty zombie game that had rules about “thought-posing”. As in, your pose could not contain anything that other people couldn’t immediately respond to. Flavor meta had to be all things that were immediately observable and that’s it, and people would stop scenes if they saw the Forbidden Meta.

              I think this one depends though, like I’ve been in scenes where people have thought-posed disliking my character or “thinking they are really weird”. Which is just being passive aggressive without any IC consequences. Not like I can pose responding to it.

              Or on a MUD where people would “privately consider Lord Smith’s words” or “internally disagree with Lady Spencer” that leaves neither of those players unable to respond.

                I really don’t care for thought posing negging commentary about other pcs. I think it can be fun when it is used for humor or other things that revolve around the posing PC. But if it is that important to be projected publicly and specifically about another pc, I interpret it as also using body language and facial expressions, so it can be responded to. The people who aren’t using it to be passive aggressive or just aggressive aggressive usually love it, so everyone wins. If someone gets mad because my pc picks up that they are making their pc annoyed/mad/nervous bc they won’t quit with the specific naming and targeting their metaposing at me then too bad for them. Usually it makes them stop targeting me (not always but then at least they know I will respond) publicly. So regardless it is a win for me.

                  I had one where the guy was like “He thinks to himself about what a terrible blunder <character> has made and rushes in to save him”

                  And we’d talked before about him thought posing at me, so I started doing it back.

                  He went OOC and told me that I was offensive. 🙂

                    I can sometimes get caught up in a story and put commentary. However, I made my character one that you can just read their thoughts on their face, or in their eyes. That means, call me on it. Call the char on it. If I type it, you read it, you can react to it.

                      In game settings where telepathy exists, and on games where thought-posing is annoying me, I will make a telepath and those thoughts will get read for maximum effect.

                      You have been warned.

                        Thought posing in a one on one scene in order to provide context and a glimpse of an interior life of the character is great. Thought posing in bar RP to be a snarky jerk without getting the consequences of being a snarky jerk is annoying and puts those players on my To Be Avoided list.

                          @Herja At least it’s not first person perspective thought posing.

                                When someone gets super pissy because your character didn’t react/act the way they wanted them to.

                                This hasn’t happened to me for a bit so stop checking amongst yourselves, I just suddenly remembered how much it sucks.

                                  When a lonely, attention starved player creates so much drama and and strife in a game it gives you an actual migraine.

                                      @Twinkle On the flip side, I’ve also seen players and staff scapegoat a player they don’t like.

                                        @Pavel And/or my favourite, putting in their +finger that they’re definitely 100% OOCly okay with IC drama and it’s all IC.

                                        And then it’s followed by a post saying they need to take a break because they’re really stressed out OOCly about all the IC drama.

                                          I have pretty much never seen a note like that in someone’s +finger that didn’t eventually turn into them being huge drama mongers.

                                          I’m not sure how that’s a flipside to the original point? That seems like an entirely separate thing.

RESPOND TO IT and if they dare to call you out, say “I could read it in your character’s body language/expression” and if they still complain you get to say THEN DON’T THOUGHT POSE, YOU PIECE OF SHIT
