You sound fat

Rundown: [community profile] 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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

I mean, in that example I'd guess the other player just unconsciously felt that their character receiving the teacup was implied and forgot to think about it at all, but I do see your point in general.

Also I realize you'd probably be more worried about the introspection in that example, actually. But, then, I personally enjoy keeping introspection quiet sometimes, so I very well might tease out the question of what she saw last night. I'd make it more clear that I was doing it on purpose, though.

On the other hand, see the previous thread about too much stuff happening in tags. If yours meanders across a bunch of topics, yeah, I'll choose the most important ones that I can condense into a single coherent reply and discard the things that won't fit into the flow.

Honestly, I don't mind if introspection gets ignored. That's mostly there for flavor; unless I'm threading with a psychic I don't expect them to directly respond to my introspection.

In that example I'd probably let my character's paranoia ramp up as the other character responds all obliviously and cheerfully while he's freaking out.

Physical objects going missing, or actions that don't make any sense in response to my character's actions, are what really break me out of the flow of the scene. I've sometimes actually PMed people to fix it. (I try not to be that anal if I can avoid it but there are times.) Likely in a situation like my example I'd just avoid mentioning the teacup myself in my next tag and hope that they said something about her holding it or drinking tea in their next one.
