Ok, so a few days ago, my thief character robbed a shop, and in accordance with dice rolls, left some incriminating evidence. It took me a few days of constant OOC nagging, which is normal as RL is a bitch, but I finally managed today to get an IG available to RP the capturing, and again in accordance with rolls, she was sentenced to 3 days in the slave poles at the inn.
All fun and games, right? Three days of uninterrupted rape fun, right?
Wrong! Within 5 minutes there was already a character in the inn talking to her and offering to free her, without any prior communication to see if that is what I, as a player, wanted. I had to have my character totally ignore that and pretend not to hear the question, because to do anything else would completely break immersion, as ICly, my character would of course ask to be freed, but OOCly I did not want that!
Sometime later a second character entered the inn and simply jumps in and, even worse than the first, outright tries to free my character. Just like that, without any OOC communication again! And when I whined about it, the justification was simply,
Well I figured you'd be bored just sitting there on poles all day,
In the meantime, I was in PM discussing a rape scene with another player, who at this moment steps in ICly and prevents the freeing, then procceeds to abuse my character, like we had just been discussing in PM. While this scene is being played, that player suddenly gets the dreaded "Ping Timeout", and while I'm sitting there in the chat with the paused rape scene waiting to see if the player comes back, that second character, together with a third (not counting the rapist) again go and try to free my character, totally ignoring the fact that she was currently on the process of being raped in a scene I was waiting to continue! And again, no OOC communication from either to see if that is what I, as a player, wanted!
This is NOT okay! Since some people appear to have trouble understanding the game rules, let me make it clear:
If a character is currently being abused, or even simply tied up somewhere waiting for abuse, the player has consented to that scene (either openly, or by the implied consent rules). The player has agreed to that scene and wants it to happen, and very very VERY likely does not wish to be freed unless OOCly is asking for it. They want to experience having their character bound helpless and subject to mistreatment, because it is something that they, as players, enjoy.
Is is NOT okay to simply go and free that character, much less interfere with a rape scene in progress, without first talking OOCly with the victim's player to see if that is truly what they want for their character. Do not "figure". Do not "assume". Simply ask!
