While that's true, Blues, that's also just society as a whole; people form their own little communities among themselves because not everyone gets along. Friendships and all that. If somehow, one friend attacked another, like maybe if they were drunk or just really, REALLY having a bad month and the other was just making it worse, the odds of that crime being reported are far lower than among strangers and/or people with animosity towards one another.

So, doing so in RP (sticking to your cliques, I mean) makes infinitely more sense than "RP WIF ME, RANDOM STRANGER!" Let's face it, random people accosting you for conversations IRL often just come across as creepy and unwanted. A friendly exchange with a cashier is one thing, but some random strnger coming to your table at a restaurant, sitting down, and trying to chat you up would likely be met with a threat to call the police if they refuse to leave. (I mention this exact example since it's happened to me IRL AND in-game, and was equally as uncomfortable both times - except the one time it ever happened IRL, the person actually left when asked, while in-game it happens repeatredly, and once in particular was a guard insisting they weren't doing anything wrong and had every right to sit down at someone else's table and interrupt personal discussions for their own interactive desires, what the actual fuck.)

Basically, what I'm saying is it's actually good roleplay to stick to your circles. So it's not like we can fault that.

EDIT: Fixed some typos. I REALLY need a new laptop since my keyboard is shot and it's not registering my USB ones anymore. I need to Ctr + V every h I post because my h is broken, so I often hit shift instead, and some keys are occasionally accidentally pressed alongside nearby keys due to damage, like the N hooking on the B to make "Inbteractive." And sometimes my L doesn't work on the first press. It's a very old laptop and it really shows. Sorry if I missed any of these. >_
