I've Done The Unthinkable.

Personally I can distinguish between what I know and what my character knows, but I understand what you're saying. I suppose I do it somewhat, along with a lot of people I've roleplayed with, because I think of the whole roleplay as a story. Just like any book written in the third person, you'd be able to know what every character is thinking. You'd just have to be able to make sure you're not being influenced into having your character be a mindreader, which isn't really that hard.

Heh, I actually prefer it when the author doesn't let you know what everyone is thinking. Especially the antagonist.

That's good sometimes too. Lets the reader actually do some thinking. Like in one of my favorite books, The Virgin Suicides, it's all about the sisters, but at the same time, it never tells you what the sisters are thinking or what they're doing behind closed doors. They're a mystery throughout the whole thing. Some people might find that annoying, I found it intriguing.

>.> I joined a X-Men RP, hoping it would be a good story. It just turned out to be a gilded high school drama. I'd made a truly beautiful character and wasted it on that RP. Obviously I quit and haven't gone back to casual since.

I knew it was a good idea not to join that. ;D
