Re: Enforced lore, encouraged RP
I would say that the "nonsensical" rules in RP enforced games are in place in order to encourage immersion. The game's staff are providing an environment where players can go to become part of that world with as little distraction from the story as possible.
The expectation I am submitting for discussion is that newbies are to know and demonstrate knowledge of the game lore as part of their time as a newbie, and before they are accepted as non-newbie players and entitled to take roles set aside for veteran players. Players who are uninterested in the game lore are outsiders and do not enjoy all of the benefits that players demonstrating sufficient lore knowledge are eligible for. Meanwhile, RP integrity is not required.
