Once thing I've noticed(and hate) is that sometimes, people simply WILL NOT react to anything other posters' characters do. They're just off in their own world, leaving other characters to scratch their heads in confusion. It's hard to build character relationships if a character outright ignores everyone else. Almost as bad as the posters who write characters that don't actually do anything(fucking "loner" characters...).

Hmm. I don't think I've ever encountered this personally. I have been in certain situations where characters ignore specific things, sometimes for fair reasons, but I've never found anyone that was so bizarre as to just pretend everyone else just isn't there. That would actually be something to see.

Now, loner characters, yes, I've seen plenty of them. It's not all bad if they understand the reality of the situation they've put themselves in, but you often get the ones that complain and complain about how they can't do anything when they won't go out and do it themselves. Again, I do understand that would be out of character, but they do need to recognise that they've dug themselves into a pit.

Ironically, I've had to deal with someone that wouldn't react to almost anything said towards them out of character recently. A GM no less that saw fit to bitch about someone not posting when just about everyone in the thread repeatedly told them they had already posted and had done so a while ago.
