Don't Step On My Game, Man
The highest form of roleplaying is found in the harmony between player skill and character expression.
Have you ever been playing a game and you have a plan to execute, when some motherfucker starts fucking with your business? Buddy, Ive already got this shit held down. It speaks to a certain inconsiderate attitude not to let another player succeed or fail on their own terms. I dont come into where you work and slap the dick out of your mouth!
If Jimmy “Slim” Salamenco wants to take the Palooka's stash and gamble it, putting it all on black, let the player explain himself: Slim is to do this surreptitiously but informs the other players, and Rosy “Cheeks” McCoy’s player agrees on the terms that when she finds out, Cheeks will attempt to beat Slim’s ass and break his arm. Everyone is fine with this and George “Chubby” Portnoy’s player notes that he has been sleeping at the hideout, so the referee determines that Slim must make a test for sneaking and on a 2-in-6 Chubby is awake and there will be a negative modifier applied to the roll. All players agree and no-one feels like an asshole.
Everyone is playing their own game, together. Our own games form a larger whole. We all have goals for how we want to play our characters or how we want to interact with the world. Sometimes there is an element of character fantasy. We should respect each other's space within the fiction to play out a scenario in a characterful way.
