I have not readily encountered this issue here on the Guild, per say - all of those I have had involvement with here paid due attention for the most part to everyone - but I am well aware it exists. It more or less damages the flow of any coherent and cohesive narrative of a roleplay, which is fairly crippling by itself; huge gaps of important information just get lost or dropped. A majority of it seems to stem from pure laziness more than ego from what I have witnessed in the past, the sort of mentality along the lines of [i]"Oh, your post is too long and detailed. Let me skim for the parts I think I want to care about."[/i]

But... I have also heard, as well as seen in topics of which I was not involved, places where personal ego eclipsed both characters and story. There's at times a line between heavily lore laden posts where a person works on character development and their finer niches of personality and where someone flat out treats another participant, not even the character, as if they fail to matter at all and or are outright inferior.

I admit I play favorites, but I will still read the posts of people and characters I might not like or feel connected to. They do not deserve exclusion on those grounds, and to my fortune I have yet to have that sort of reaction to anyone on the Guild.
