it's almost as though, however, this entire problem could be avoided and could enable mutes and people without mics to play actual talking characters without having to deal with this awkwardness translating to their roleplay experience, making the problem unnoticable
just roleplay a socially awkward person trying to become less awkward around strangers. roleplay yourself if it helps you get over your fear of communicating with other people.
i've never done voice chat rp, but im willing to give it a shot with nebulous, especially on GTA RP where I can basically do what I spent entire summers doing on PERP roleplay, growing weed, hustling AKs and buying expensive cars.
also, nobody who is using voice chat is going to bother reading your IC messages so you'll get excluded anyways
