A question. I have never heard the term " blocked out". What is it's exact definition?
A block out is when character is basically ignored during a roleplay, such as if there are five characters in the same area at the same time. There are four interacting with each other or three focusing on talking to one character as one character is completely disregarded to have ever existed or entered the scene. If there is a character that is disregarded for two pages of posts or more, this is a block out.
Block outs tend to occur when someone writes for a more passive character, the one that hangs in the background of things trying to avoid making friends. Since this character is not chomping at the bit to get to know everyone, everyone tends to skip over that character's post and keep talking with each other rather than figuring a way to torment the character that is trying to pretend they are not there.
I hope that cleared that up for you! ^_^
