Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

what's your opinion on lying by omission?

if someone put you in a position where they asked you not to tell someone something, would you? would you lie if you were directly asked?

obviously this is going to be very subjective based on the situation but i'm curious about anons' opinions since advice/opinions i get here tend to feel more real than what i'd get on plurk if i even got anything

that depends on if it's personal business or not.

if it is and it's got nothing at all to do with the person asking, i feel no guilt keeping it from them. even if it's not and the person asking has no right to know because they're not involved in whatever the secret is or wouldn't need to know to make an informed decision about something important, i'd still keep it secret and lie if needed.

if it is important for them to know, though, i try to make it not my problem by telling the asker to talk to the original person who told me the secret so i'm not in the middle of a potential fight between friends/lovers/whatever.

i only consider it to be a problem if the omitted information really negatively impacts the party in question.

like not telling someone that their ex is going to be at a party when you knew ahead of time that they were going to be. don't do that. that's dickish.

so in rp terms

if you're keeping someone's identity from someone else when you know that that person specifically doesn't want to play with them, then you're a dick.

but if it's something like "yeah she said doesn't feel up for rping right now idk what to tell you" and the omitted information is "... because she's super depressed but doesn't want anyone to know." then w/e that's information that no one actually really needs to know. and in that situation if someone directly asks you if it's bc of her depression, that's when you as a friend go "idk it's not my business"

It is for the good of the universe and the fight against entropy.

It depends on who I'm closer to and how it will affect all involved parties. If I'm closer to the other person, I'm not going to throw the person who asked me to keep quiet under the bus just to earn brownie points, but if it's a clear loyalty issue where keeping the secret could hurt my friend, I'm telling my friend. Essentially, I think you have to weigh how your choices will affect all involved parties.
