Not quite. It was the answer I was expecting. However I wanted to
bring that aspect to light.

Here I suspect you part company with the sotryu telling branch of RP.

I'd see this coming from a different principle: The RP'ers want to
address their game problems within the confines of the game. The
concept of dropping carrier doesn't really exist to them as the whole
concept of a carrier is unreal to their characters.
The GOPs however play the game as a part of their RL, so dropping
character is an obvious ploy in dealing with another player IRL.
