( I've been reading some of the threads insise "in-game roleplay events" and I'm seeing a bit of chaos here and there. The events are meant to be things that happened (or are going to happen) in game, and that are IC.
While I can see that, ic, a group decides to have some fun, and invites other people to a game of hide and seek to share the fun and all... yes, that can be IC. But then it comes the scenario, when the crowd moves to the Death Realm to keep playing the game. In my opinion, there the IC basement is broken. Just imagine you're playing the hide and seek and you look around and say... well... I'm really tired of this landscape, why not try something different? While lots would agree, certainly the destination of choice wouldn't be the Death Realm.
My suggestion would be to remove that placement from the hide and seek game, if it really is meant to be an IC event.
Mind you, I would have no problems in it being an OOC event, just for the players fun of exploring areas, and having a good time trying to guess where other people has hided their chars. It sounds like fun, and I probably would have some fun with it too. But then, either a new forum has to be created to hold events made by players but really just for the fun of it, and not for any IC basement, or in the rules of the hide and seek itself it should be clarified that is all OOC and for the fun of the players, that are experimenting another approach to the game.
I do hope noone gets offended by this, as I'm not attacking the concept, nor the intentions of having fun of the players that had this initiative, I merely try to point out that, certain things cannot be stated as IC. Death Realm isn't precisely the place you go to play hide and seek.
Regards, and keep the fun going. )
