[quote=@Odin]What are you asking me here?[/quote]
What I was asking (partially playing devil’s advocate for the sake of discussion) was doesn’t it set a bad precedent to go into a collaborative project with the perspective of “not giving a fuck about” your peers characters and as a byproduct their posts and prose? This isn’t to suggest you are going to [i]tell[/i] them such a thing, but rather the speculation of negatively framing your peers and having an apathetic outlook being largely unproductive and against the whole point your collaborating in the first place.



[quote=@Odin]I think there are times when not reading posts is excusable, but it is still preferable you read all posts regardless. But, and I will continue to use this example (and it should be noted that those that have agreed with me were either part of the same roleplay I was talking about when I mentioned 15+ people, or were in the same group of people that partook in such RP's) in an RP with 15+ people, where there are different teams of people ([u]you're a Naruto roleplayer, Gowi, you should know that when you have 6 teams in different villages that there's no reasonable reason to read these posts if they're doing missions on the other side of the world for example[/u]) that the only reason to read posts is common courtesy towards other RPers.[/quote]
Yeah, and I don’t completely disagree with you. We’ve been in those Naruto sandboxes and I understand it can be a chore to read through everything. Now this may be just me, but even when I’m not a GM (whom, in my honest opinion, has an obligation and responsibility to read those posts) I still read every post in an IC even if it may not make sense per your purview to read them. I view it as an expected respect for those I am writing with whether I am in their ‘group’ or not within the framing of an IC. I feel it’s important to do that. I do see where you are coming from on this, though. Am I [i]obligated[/i] to read those posts? Beyond GM expectations, I’m probably not required to, no.
