I wonder if it may have partly to do with the game in question...perhaps some games attract a more different crowd than others?

The gaming group I'm referring to in particular is based off of a computer sci-fi RPG called Mass Effect. Apparently due to storyline issues the group broke into two halves. The one where I RP'ed is/was for the most part quite fun, and most of the players very polite. Of course...that was the one half, or front page of the group.

Then I tried a crack at the more in-depth RP'ing on the forums of the group and...well, hardly five minutes passed before all the players appeared to just descend like attack dogs it seems. I don't know...I get it that the players want to play various sorts ranging from psychopathic mercs to drugrunners and slavers, pirates, etc....but looking at the responses, I wonder if maybe they're all getting into their role play a little too much. Even the "good guys" that were RP'ing had a less than enthusiastic response. I wonder if perhaps this was because technically I was considered the FNG over on this part of the group...I don't know.

Anyway, I'm playing this by ear for now. I may or may not walk away from the group in question, I guess we'll see but yeah...it's disappointing and other times disturbing when RP'ers A: Go off on their juvenile fantasies through their characters and insult everyone else, especially new players and B: appear to want to create their own personal fiefdoms along with a "No Dogs Allowed" policy sign hanging over the door.
