An issue that has been brought to my attention in regards to how people are playing their characters and reacting to situations.
The simple fact is; in games like this and in real life, people don't always react the way you expect or think they should. It is the nature of individualism. Some people simply approach situations and stresses differently. Some people are cool underfire, some crack and act extremely.
Yes, you all woke up in a strange place with the implication you were seen naked at some point while you were unconscious. There is no such thing as a stock reaction to this kind of thing since it is not a common occurance. Each individual will react in whatever way they will best cope, or not cope, with the situation.
I want everyone to enjoy playing their characters, and part of that means allowing everyone to react however they feel is appropriate for their character. If they want to be cool on the exterier but freaking out internally, that's fine. If they want to make a show of an extreme reaction, that is also fine, even if everyone else sees it as an overreaction, that's how the player wants to run with it.
There is no real wrong way with things like this. If a reaction is truly disruptive to gameplay, then it can be addressed, but it should be done so respectfully.
