I'll explain it to you. This attention grabbing idea of yours seems like an annoyance to you. You decided to play your character like this then get on people who don't jump to your idea of the aftermath of in-game stuff. The GRP thing? Sure, it happened and was cool. My general feeling from it afterwards was you were bothered by it happening at all and it was a setback for you, not to mention it was a general nuisance.
And after saying that GRP can't even do anything to RP with you, even though it was -you- who decided to do this, I replied. Your character gets to stay in that cell. If you were to actually stay true to what you say, you'd go "Ok!" and let the character die off.

I seem to have dissapointed you, and Im not sure how, your complaint seems to stem from... you didnt like my attitude afterwards? Im not sure, have I been rude to you or something? Or maybe your annoyed and think that Im forcing you to RP with me, and you dont want to? Or you think Im angry with you for not RPing HOW I want you to? I'm not sure what you want from me or what I've done wrong, I left HOW you RPd, and wether you wanted to, totally up to you. If I seemed curt or annoyed ingame then Im sorry, it was (in that order) because it was past midnight and I needed to go to bed, and because I tend to spend a lot of time after fighting explaining to people about this, and I thought you would be another one. I was not annoyed by it happening at all.

So is this you saying you are annoyed with me wanting GRP to... act like GRP?

Thats what I assumed, I already deleted the char. Like I said; It's totally up to you, I dont metagame.

If you say so.

I'll keep RPing like I said I would for now, but if you truly dont care, and arnt just tired or something, I guess Ill escape and find someone who does care.
Just because you asked and I'm fool enough to respond.
Sometimes, very very rarely, someone on this server accidentally enters the realm of what I consider to be roleplaying. This is a holdover from earlier generations of gaming on my part and something I've long since set aside on this server. Discovery is an arcade game where an attitude of self important entitlement is allowed to foster and, in many ways, isn't to be discouraged.
You find yourself in a compromising situation. You hit respawn. Cool beans. Getting exploded by lag or broken aiming mechanics is a bitch and an unfortunate way to end a story.
My comment about impatience stems from your lack of desire to move away from the Discovery mindset of instant gratification and external validation when placed in a situation that you invited. A situation you invited under the guise of welcoming just such a compromising position, for good or ill, in the hopes of being able to craft something more meaningful than the undock ho ho respawn exchange.
When you got your wish it didn't turn out to be the crest of the attention wave you feel you richly deserve, which resulted in the above and everyone involved being rather annoyed with you. Invitations such as the one extended in the OP demand a certain ability to freely let go of your character. If you find yourself languishing in a cell it needs to be ok that he sit there for a few days, weeks or even months until the next step presents itself. Saying "well if no one is going to rub my back and tell me how cool I am for doing this then balls to you I'm escaping el oh el" is going to earn you nothing more than the ire you so richly deserve.
Frankly I'm surprised anyone is giving you the time of day, given that the first time you did this was to rip people off like a scumbag.
So. Yeah. Impatience. Stray away from it. Dude A is going to be eating bread and water for a bit. Or you can meta escape to see if someone else out there will hold your hand and tell you how brave what you're doing is. Or you can have another guy on the burner to play with until such a time comes that you can issue an appeal, or maybe the persons holding you have a moment to look away from what -they- are doing to entertain -themselves- to pay attention to you.
Afterall. You're pushing your system onto theirs. A modicum of patience is to be expected.

You insulted the GRP, my faction, because you want to push your system of playing on others as Dusty said. Your general attitude about it is poor and seems like a grab for attention. Most people want to blow up, see the Blue, and move on to the next task, not sit around and talk. It's a game and so far Disco is a kill and go system.
And Dusty, you are always cool and I will always rub your back.
Dusty, as impressive as your ability to talk long windidly about your subject is, I have to say this time your talking rubbish. You say I demanded people RP with me straight away? Not true! I dont want to force my RP on others, the grp specifically said:
' Wrote:do what you want. I don't care.
This is NOT the first time someone has said "whatever Im not interested" and Ive had to say "fair enough" and carry on as though nothing had happened. Precisely because I dont DEMAND that people do this RP with me. And when the GRP DID decide to do something, if you had actually read the thread you would have seen that rather than going "Im escaping" I said:
' Wrote:I already deleted the char. Like I said; It's totally up to you,
' Wrote:Is this you saying that after your char is jailed the playerbase needs to drop FL and start RPng out an entire Jailhouse TV series?
Nope, as I said they can do whatever they want, including saying they dont want to have anything to do with it, but apparently if I take them up on that, Im saying "el oh el I'm escaping".

I used to have RP like that before as well, but to be honest it always ended dramatic and the RPers were never happy in the end so that the RP got rejected again. It's up to you if you want to risk your chars death. But beware, that if you grant everyone on the server to kill your character after capturing him, it will be the same as I said already. Drama RP including character deaths is an case for its own.
If I would be you I would try to avoid such RP. And in the end you're not happy about the results of the RP you have done, except if you really badly want to get rid of the character. Think about it again before doing so and think of people, who simply could use this option "for the lulz" to kill off your character without much roleplay.
Just my thoughts. I wouldn't do it. But it's only me.
