> Good RPing rubs off on those around you. Couldn't agree with you more. While it may not be an instant cure, it will definitely nudge things to a more "acceptable" level. A few random smites from the heavens for poor roleplay to "encourage" what we'd like to see wouldn't be refused either. One other method I thought about is to refuse to group with someone until you accept their level of roleplay. While they may find another group and we get another hero that doesn't know where Ofcol is (Quite a stretch, but it's happened), it makes it a little more difficult for marginal roleplay to permeate the higher ranks. I've got a few responses ready for the people who ask "want 2 grp?", "be a 3rd?", "what path?", etc. etc. It's not a surefire way to change their roleplay habits, but more often than not, they'll eventually put a little more effort into it, at least for the moment.
