RP is 100% cooperation, comprised of equal parts from each participant. End of story.

Yeah pretty much :7 One is an unpowered BS/Will scrapper with Aegis slotted soley because of it RP value. She survives against superpowered things on sheer willpower, she doesn't really like most people to start with and is a tactician, of course she's going to have some good mental defense out of sheer stubbornness. The other is a shaolin trained claws/will scrapper who, aside from all the mental discipline has been taught specific anti-telepathic techniques, I RP them when I fight Lost with her even.

Rumor has it, all kinds of awesome RP exists outside the D. No psychic barrier warning labels necessary.
The moral of this thread is: those who Mary Sue should just be given a gentle pat on the head - and then you can return to regularly scheduled programming.
Now if you get Count Logan'd, then my advice is find a thesaurus and beat him at his own game. If you construct a decent sentence using the words alacrity, vociferous and "in situ", he'll generally leave you alone.
Don't sweat him calling you soppy apeth, he does that to everyone, even those clearly worth more than a half penny.

"Psychics would sense that she has a mind. People who watch lots of TV would have seen her heroing! People with x-ray vision can see that she's made of metal. People with an acute sense of smell would smell that she's made of metal. People who would allergic to aspartame would note that she does not contain aspartame. Diving enthusiasts would note that her pocketwatch has the logo of a popular snorkel manufacturer on it. Diabetics would note that her dietary exchange is 1 1/2 carbohydrate. Take two doses before bedtime; inform a doctor if you have dizziness, trouble sleeping, or itchy wrists."
(however, the people who put aura colors in their bios still make me go 'buh?')
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

If you're fluent in a foreign langugag,e that's not a bad method either. It's happened to me once to ym conspiracy theorist char. As it happens, he was speakign french to someone at the time...so all his thoughts came through in french. Well...french versions what is below:
My response tends to be along the lines of the 'My Humps' strategy earlier. Except it's Bananaphone instead.
If they pry deeper, they'll get grocery lists, thoughts of if he remembered to set his recorder to tape 24, if it's garbage day, whose turn it is to make dinner, etc. the best defense against observation after all, is sheer mundanity.
If he keeps prying even FURTHER....he gets Rickrolled.

I'm sure I've got a rock power left on some of my alts. This might be a good use for it.

Technicalities!
The D is such a poor place to go to find quality RP, I feel that RP shouldn't be judged by the type found there. I mean, that's like going to an X-Rated movie theater and deciding most moviegoers are sleezy and most movies have dumb plots.
I'll admit I'm blessed with good folks who do high quality RP, so I don't need to frequent the D.
From my own self, I have one "psychic" of sorts, but I never bring up that he actually reads anyone. I leave that up to people I RP with to decide whether Ali senses anything or not.

I've RPed a telepath for the better part of the last year, and only attempted mind-tricks on PCs 3 times.
One time was unsuccessful.
Another time, it was pre-planned that everyone else involved for a gathering agreed to be mindwiped of my telepaths presence at a gathering. Granted my conditions for showing up where that I would only show if everyone agreed to be mindwiped of the memories of my character being there, but still.
And the last time was a little thing to get toon A to ask toon B to step out of earshot for all of 2 minutes.
All I ever really use telepathy for is to contact people psychically, pretty much. And even at that, I -always- send a tell checking mental defenses first. Run into too many ninjas and 10 year olds who could beat gods in a battle of wills in this game. Part of why I tweaked my one blind and mute character who "sees" psychically so that if someone is so uber fortified to any matters telepathic, they'll be invisible to her to the point that she'll ignore them.
Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.
