1.) [LN] had ceasefires with both Order and A/)
2.) My character, a reserve admiral, wasn't in the mood to screw up ceasefires all willy-nilly just cause ships seemed ripe for the picking
3.) Then my character witnesses that A/) starts shooting at Order cause wtf why not, amiright?
4.) Then fellow [LN] and 5th| think about joining in attacking Order, admiral goes to say, "don't you dare shoot"; thankfully, they don't
5.) Seeing as how the A/) and Order are still shooting at themselves, the problem seems to be solving itself. Two birds with one stone, eh?
6.) Besides... Admiral's mainly there to nab herself some Nomad stuffz for her own research
7.) ::: 1 hour of intense Nomad Remains, Data, and Relic transfer and escort of Dunkirk carrying buttloads of scientific data later :::
8.) RP was success!
So yeah... I'd say my character got what she came for in that event. An RP event isn't just exclusive to the party location, but it's also ongoing when the party goers have dispersed, and have made their plans for the rest of the night.
Same as here. My RP didn't intend to stick around that long. I had other plans for tonight after the main party.
