Why is it an issue at all? I mean my character will not be telling all the long and boring details about how the used magic to clean his house or how I used air to blow up Elle Mae's skirt.
The RP is for interesting communication and action taking place... The rest of the time I could be cheating at marbles for all its worth... does not change that I have a certain amount of energy to use just like everyone else.
IMO if we use our energy and not put it in an RP then we are continuing our practice in the background of the stories.
Some one will try to mini/max his character I am sure. But that sort of attitude will be seen in the writing and can be dealt with there.
