Your in a group rp and war has hit. Everyone is taking up arms an fighting right.  Nope, Mary is picking flowers making crowns while Gary an Marty play Pokemon go.  "Ahh I caught a pikachu."  and they are totally oblivious to what is actually happening in the roleplay.

Now you can say...
Hey liz ain't this the same as ignoring the action..
And maybe its similar.
But in this case you are all there. Shoot sometimes this person is ignoring it cause there ocs are making out.

Now perhaps its still ignoring the action, but if everyone else is at war and your trying to moonwalk on the beach in the middle of the field, don't be mad if your oc gets shot.

Pay attention. If your rp is at war or slinging food do not ignore what is happening. Especially in a group rp.  If your fellow rpers are under attack have their back

Instead of chasing after sparkly purply pokka dotted unicorns
