I hate the concept of having to choose... it is totally possible to see the whole thing as roleplay and declaring roleplay as being a separate thing from gameplay is not only wrong, but confusing. Roleplay with gameplay is good, it gives framework, keeps realism. Gameplay should improve your RP experience, and RP should improve your gameplay experience.
I still think simply having a "In-Character" section would be far more sensible, less confusing, and less of this roleplay snobbery.
What 'roleplay snobbery'? Where have you seen it? A lot of gameplayers, like Crazy Girl and Ballotonia, don't want RP's in Gameplay, and RP'ers don't want gameplay threads in II or NS. If people want to keep these two functions separate, that's their right.
Of course it is, but under the current system, Crazy Girl can expect to have 100% In-Character threads in here aslong as they somehow impact the game, such as an IC-president taking the delegate position. Whereas if there was just an "In Character" section it would solve the problem, keep everyone happy, and it would actually make sense, so there would be less need to keep moving threads and enforcing rules, which i'm sure isnt fun.
