Roleplay Tips4. Language during roleplay
- "Stfu, lol, omg, wtf, lmao" are all examples of non-roleplay language used during roleplay. It is not hard to change from this "Omg nice car man" to this "Dude nice car". Same as "Stfu man, you ain't doing yourself any favours." and replace it with "Shut it man, you ain't doing yourself any favours." Change your language and stop the nonsense.
I don't mean they'll say "O-M-G", it would be said in the full form.Touché, but I think it was just an example.
Simple because it is an abbreviation, I don't see that big problem with using it.
5. Bunny hopping
- I class this as a form of Metagaming, getting an advantage over other players, although anyone can use it, for instance look out of your window. Do you see any people hopping down the street? No, didn't think so. So please refrane from using 'Bunny hopping' and just tap the sprint button and you will still go pretty fast.
1. People pulling out guns from thin air.
- Dont pull M4's or Mic or any weapon from thin air. If your in a vehicle just use '/me loads a clip into his M4.' and then step out of the car with that weapon in your hand, or if your on foot and have a pistol use '/me takes out his pistol from his waistband.' something along those lines.
2. Dual Weapons
- Try retain yourself from using dual weapons like Sawn-off shotguns or Tec9 on foot, this just creates people running around in circles trying to take each others HP health down, doing this is provocation of Deathmatch. This is VERY unrealistic. You can use Dual weapons for passenger Drive-by's but that should be it.
3. Police driving random vehicles.
- Do not drive random vehicles thinking your undercover. If there are not enough police cruisers around, then take a ride from an Officer who does have one. Try not to use Cheetah's for chasing down suspects because that is very unrealistic.

6. GPS System
- If someone is running away from you on foot on in car and you lose them, cut off the roleplay right there. If you have used any of these lines before "Mate use /area ID to find him!" "Look on the map cops come lets go" you are just not roleplaying right. If you lose them on foot and they are hiding somewhere, just let the roleplay go and it will soon follow up.
7. OOC and IC confusion
- Some people I roleplay with ingame get confused with 'In Character' and 'Out Of Character' chat when they are using the "/l" command. All you need to do is put some (( brackets )) around your speech during roleplay. It is very easy and I hope most of you use this technique.
*/l (( I like roleplaying ))
*/l I like roleplaying
8. Random Roleplay
- I have seen people being stupid during roleplay. Like taking a granny skin and dancing in the middle of a gangsta ghetto hood and using things like '/me wants sex!!' and things like '/l C'mon lets have sexual intercourse!'... I mean c'mon, you could do this as OOC roleplaying but dont be stupid and act right and realistic during roleplay.
9. Attempt during roleplay
- Try using '/me attempts to grab John.' and not things like '/me grabs John punches him in the face and karate kicks him in the balls'. Sad to say it is just not realistic. Try giving each other a chance during roleplay by using the "attempt" method.
10. Eyes in the back of your head
- Someone is smoking weed around the corner as the police are driving by. The police cannot see the heroin taker but see the "[Rstar]Merc smokes some weed, getting high." in main chat. So they arrest the guy and that is that. This is almost metagaming and really the police should not see the weed smoker and should have just strolled past normally on patrol. (not offending any police officers or ARPD)
11. All cars are unlocked!
- Seriously c'mon. In real life all cars are not unlocked. Roleplay hotwiring a car with a screwdriver or something. I'm sick of suspects hopping into different cars when they explode. You should just try roleplay hotwiring it up, and if the police point guns at you, just give up.
12. Invincible
- Some players think they are superman, they have a gun pointed at there face and just hit the robber and run. Seriously act right! If you have a gun in your face, act scared!
I agree with Panda here, we are not all 1337 typers.11. All cars are unlocked!Again, as much as I'd like to hotwire cars, I can't type like the speed of light, and I'm not gonna die in a cop chase and be randomly jailed by new freecops for trying to swiftly type /me commands to hotwire the thing.

I actually use some of these in real life, i think its not that non-rp.. :razz:
I actually use some of these in real life, i think its not that non-rp.. :razz:
Example: Lulz wtf u mean? I r not know wt u mean,
Reading comments and thinking... "typical..."That's exactly what I said.
Lets not make server cool and more RP
what less RP that cooler it is, congratz
That's exactly what I said.
Also, this is a different type of RP server, there are some servers (Though a couple just flat out blow...) that you'll get jailed for bunnyhopping for some time, and they're very very strict on all the stuff that Merc stated here.
And the abbreviations, lol, wtf, lulz, etc.
I can't see why people say "No Merc, your ideas suck, so go f**k off."
All he's doing is what I did and try and help the server with some more roleplay.
Add a few rules here & there and you can help curve the 'path'.

I was never for complicated RPG server on GTA... More rules - more rulebreakers - more moaners, more fight/arguing, etc... In the end - more and more rules... People and admins started asking in which situations what decision should be...
Lets see... Cops are driving civilian cars... You said - "None RP!"... Why you start think as real life in one direction?
What I mean? For one chase criminal can change 5 cars... It was done to prevent runners... As entering the new car and driving away takes 1-2 seconds... Real life? When the car damaged - criminal just runs to the Pay-n-Spray and car repaired on 100% in 5 seconds... Real life? No... Police cars cannot repair in the same way? So cops should drive with minimum damages - Impossible if they try to stop a criminal... They have to block the road, crash car from road, etc...
So before talking about RP, think...

Sorry, but since these "More RP" methods would ruin the fun - yes.I dont see how the TIPS can ruin the fun..
Seriously it looks like you don't like change for the better and if the state of roleplay doesn't change I am not waiting around for it. I'll be long gone.
Typical Argonath...
Less RP = more fun?
And Ron, that isn't always the case, yes sometimes it happens, but admins will have control over it.
Like the Bunnyhopping situation, if there was a rule (Which there was a while back)
that bunnyhopping isn't allowed, it only takes a few words to tell players to stop. Maybe a kick or two, but nobodys really gonna complain about it.
If the blips were off radar then any Rp could happen, you would get no people going to pay n spray in middle of a chase, and no cops searching for orange blips then shoot them down. I am dissapointed that so many disagree with my ideas.
Well its you that doesn't want to develop argonaths roleplay state, shame on you. Why do you call your self Argonath RPG and not Argonath Developing Roleplayers. Seriously it looks like you don't like change for the better and if the state of roleplay doesn't change I am not waiting around for it. I'll be long gone.
PART IIMTA VC has weapons all the time... They spawn with guns, they have weapons pickups... Health pickups as well...
They have no city wide or local chat... Still the Roleplay amount is higher then on SA server... And if guy takes an Ice Cream car - at least 3-5 guys will buy imaginary ice cream... and will pay money for "nothing"... But have fun and roleplay...
LOL OMG OMFG ROFL was first usage in internet chat to prevent long logs... It was a smiles level...
Typing fast in game also in need... So why should not people use just "LOL" instead off "I was laughing out loud a lot dude!"
The rule of multiplayer community is one... This rule was made by Galadriel, though she does not know about it :
The server must be friendly to the new people
/me laughs.
/l (( LOL ))
Is it really that hard to make it. . . Roleplayable?
It is not about us moaning, it is about us trying to improve roleplay... I see you don't want that.
/me laughs.
/l (( LOL ))
Is it really that hard to make it. . . Roleplayable?
It is not about us moaning, it is about us trying to improve roleplay... I see you don't want that.
Now I know that many people are just not able to use their imagination and fantasy, and need to be guided by their Great Leader of Scripts in every step of the way.Using your imagination and fantasy isn't really realistic, you need to build it around your character. I am not asking for scripts in every sight, I am asking for things to be more realistic.
And yes - this is moaning... From "TIPS" you fall down to blaming server and even blackmailing "I will then leave"...
You do not understand one thing - roleplay is not in (()) you will use in phrase, roleplay is in your actions
... And thanks god we have more players who understand it...
Do not like it - make your own server with your own map without GTA features, and as Gandalf said - once died - leave server and do not come back for zomg realism...
I did not see any "boo boo he hurt my feelings"... People who do not like idea - tell their opinion as well... So, Abraham, stop turning topic to just flaming each other...Aragorn, I'm not attempting to turn the topic into flame, It just makes me mad how people just can't accept that some people roleplay in other ways. He gives a few tips on how to roleplay (his definition of roleplaying) and everyone goes "bad idea!!", it's not an idea, it's TIPS on how to increase your roleplay standards (his definition).
What the f**k is wrong with you people?Correct... so who will start RP a shopkeeper that is actually present in his business ?
Merc just wants this to be R-O-L-E P-L-A-Y server and you just start flaming on him...
Well as much as i know RP is not "Police man /su ID punching me, then /s surrender!!, then *boom* *boom* shoot the suspect "
Maybe the name should change to "Cops Vs Civilians"?
No Merc, I am not wrong... I know exactly how RPG started in GTA multiplayer, and was in the beginning of it, developing it, and leading it... So trust me - you have no idea whats RolePlay in GTA...
You have no idea whats roleplay if you think that people, who type in chat "OMG nice car!" are all "act like dicks when roleplaying"... That is absurd...
Absurd is demand from players to limit their original control panel options - jumping...
Absurd is to Set special objects to hide original objects...
Do not like it - make your own server with your own map without GTA features, and as Gandalf said - once died - leave server and do not come back for zomg realism...

Maybe the name should change to "Cops Vs Civilians"?
And then you start exaggerating my ideas, for example leaving server when you die, I mean, my ideas are not that 'hardcore', end of this argument, I will not argue back now cause its going nowhere.
So that you know - police was the first role on GTA multiplayer... And the first server started Roleplaying - made right the police command... That was all... All server had - just wanted system - jail/kill awards... Server had the biggest community on GTA and was crowded 24/7... When they started making money feature and more "jobs" on requests from players - server turned to shit... Admins were sitting and kicking everyone who was "none-rp" from their point of view, players started moaning on each other... This did not last long... After the new scripts version with more so-called "rp"? like jobs paydays, robberies, server died totally... If you do not believe - I can give you the name of this community and its servers - all are empty...
Tips great, and if you want to follow them, no problem
Aragorn, I'm not attempting to turn the topic into flame, It just makes me mad how people just can't accept that some people roleplay in other ways. He gives a few tips on how to roleplay (his definition of roleplaying) and everyone goes "bad idea!!", it's not an idea, it's TIPS on how to increase your roleplay standards (his definition).
But thats not the whole story, Merc has tips for use all to increase RP and you can hate it, but i dont see why being so offensive like this... :eek:
Probably not such a strong community as Argonath...
old women follows a group of gangstas into their hood and starts going /me wants sex
double nicks with first and second names
It's much more RPer, normal names are good too, but double names are RPer... I think.
Like i said, Merc only wants to increase the Roleplay and therefor has some tips... But i can understand that when he sees these replies, you wont get happier... :neutral:
Isn't it suposed to be good?Perhaps we are getting old, but RP means that you choose a character (skin if you like) and try to play as you see its habits.
It's much more RPer, normal names are good too, but double names are RPer...
I think.
(...)One thing leads to another huh? :P
Golden_Roleplayer?
Names like that are stupid.
Names that are realistic like James_Crops or Jessica_Klays is RP, and its relistic.
Names like Golden_Roleplayer or Killer_Silver are stupid and unrealistic.
One thing leads to another huh? :P
You've just proved that you do not get the point... So for those who are far from thinking skills:Ok, i didnt really got that...
You can call yourself James_Crops, but if you suck as roleplayer - you will still suck and your nick cannot change you...
You are a f**king human, ffs, and not a number of letters...
Perhaps we are getting old, but RP means that you choose a character (skin if you like) and try to play as you see its habits.Normal Font - Maybe, but if it's an RP server, it would be good to put double names too, im not saying that everone should do that.
A nick is used to people know who you are in chat...and by keeping it the same no matter your role people will know who they play with.
A single name nick is more effective as it is easier to take clan names or tags on to it.
Also, if my rights got removed for 'trying to improve RP' or whatever, why didn't you say so in the first place?Not 'trying to improve RP', but 'making your own rules' was a part of it.
Hayden and others will make a topic - leave Bunnyhopping alone!Fine :( :P
No thanks...
No use...
Maybe, but if it's an RP server, it would be good to put double names too, im not saying that everone should do that.
We do not punish for double names... We are FREE... Wanna double names - use double names... But do not demand from others the same... They are free to choose any nick they want...Who the hell said that im demanding?!
All who like this TIPS idea can read it, if you don't like it then just leave it and carry on roleplaying as you are, said and done.
as I said before if you think this pisses you off then leave the topic.
Now everybody should say sorry to eachother, and everybody still friends.
And make this topic sticky...
1. People pulling out guns from thin air.
- Dont pull M4's or Mic or any weapon from thin air. If your in a vehicle just use '/me loads a clip into his M4.' and then step out of the car with that weapon in your hand, or if your on foot and have a pistol use '/me takes out his pistol from his waistband.' something along those lines.
2. Dual Weapons
- Try retain yourself from using dual weapons like Sawn-off shotguns or Tec9 on foot, this just creates people running around in circles trying to take each others HP health down, doing this is provocation of Deathmatch. This is VERY unrealistic. You can use Dual weapons for passenger Drive-by's but that should be it.
3. Police driving random vehicles.
- Do not drive random vehicles thinking your undercover. If there are not enough police cruisers around, then take a ride from an Officer who does have one. Try not to use Cheetah's for chasing down suspects because that is very unrealistic.
4. Language during roleplay
- "Stfu, lol, omg, wtf, lmao" are all examples of non-roleplay language used during roleplay. It is not hard to change from this "Omg nice car man" to this "Dude nice car". Same as "Stfu man, you ain't doing yourself any favours." and replace it with "Shut it man, you ain't doing yourself any favours." Change your language and stop the nonsense.
5. Bunny hopping
- I class this as a form of powergaming, getting an advantage over other players, although anyone can use it, for instance look out of your window. Do you see any people hopping down the street? No, didn't think so. So please refrane from using 'Bunny hopping' and just tap the sprint button and you will still go pretty fast.
6. GPS System
- If someone is running away from you on foot on in car and you lose them, cut off the roleplay right there. If you have used any of these lines before "Mate use /area ID to find him!" "Look on the map cops come lets go" you are just not roleplaying right. If you lose them on foot and they are hiding somewhere, just let the roleplay go and it will soon follow up.
7. OOC and IC confusion
- Some people I roleplay with ingame get confused with 'In Character' and 'Out Of Character' chat when they are using the "/l" command. All you need to do is put some (( brackets )) around your speech during roleplay. It is very easy and I hope most of you use this technique.

8. Random Roleplay
- I have seen people being stupid during roleplay. Like taking a granny skin and dancing in the middle of a gangsta ghetto hood and using things like '/me wants sex!!' and things like '/l C'mon lets have sexual intercourse!'... I mean c'mon, you could do this as OOC roleplaying but dont be stupid and act right and realistic during roleplay.

(not offending any police officers or ARPD)
11. All cars are unlocked!
- Seriously c'mon. In real life all cars are not unlocked. Roleplay hotwiring a car with a screwdriver or something. I'm sick of suspects hopping into different cars when they explode. You should just try roleplay hotwiring it up, and if the police point guns at you, just give up.
12. Invincible
- Some players think they are superman, they have a gun pointed at there face and just hit the robber and run. Seriously act right! If you have a gun in your face, act scared!
"Here are some tips from a good roleplayer, read if you want."
A man is getting along on the road to wisdom when he begins to realize that his opinion is just an opinion.
“Opinion has caused more trouble on this little earth than plagues or earthquakesâ€ÂÂ
Also aragorn, I understand your point that he shouldn't call his tips "rp tips" as it is his view of RP and not something that is set in stone. I have agreed with what you have said, especially the blackmail part, but you maybe got too much on the defencive too. I know you just want your points to be known as you want to defend your creation and I totally agree with that, but to me, the language seemed a bit too strong.
I can understand your position...
We had such discussions before... Always were telling our positions... And now it came already as a TIPs recommendations... its like developers position is totally ignored...
I was watching topic and treated to it as to "ideas"... While I did not see that in topic discussion actually were touched Argonath itself and our (developers) vision...
I counted the words "Why you call yourselves Argonath RPG and not Argonath developing roleplayers" as personal attack against us and offense... As it was said by regular veteran and admin - double offense...
This needs stickied, and to be mandatory to be read by all players.I don't think it should. And i don't think it's completely useless, i just disagree with most of the points.
12. Invincible
- Some players think they are superman, they have a gun pointed at there face and just hit the robber and run. Seriously act right! If you have a gun in your face, act scared!
It's actually funny to run around sometimes and do: /me farts and laughs silent: Hihihi and stuffs...But I never mix RP to OOC.
Less RP enforcement = more freedom in my opinion :neutral:
That's why I disagree with most points because if those tips one day become rules someday, I'd be forced to stay out of the server tbh, because I find it extremely boring to follow such strict guidelines, but that's just me. I rarely agree with Aragorn, but this time I do. More realistic RP would cause people to argue all the time, because some people think their roleplay way is better than the other's (no offense directed to anyone).
because some people think their roleplay way is better than the other's (no offense directed to anyone).No its not about that, Its about how much want to roleplay or how much you want to f*ck around thats basically it, not that anyone is better than anyone in roleplaying, cause anyone can roleplay, so thats just bullshÃÂÂt. If you like to f**k around you'll probably highly disagree but if you want to roleplay realistically like in real life and not fantasy like lord of the rings or random hyper zombie grannys attacking people, then you'll probably agree with this.

Keep on argue, it will increase the RP.
Keep on argue, it will increase the RP.
More freedom = More idiots who don't give a shit about proper roleplay, more fools who ruin well made up roleplay situations.
Sure, it is easier to go on the server, make up shit in the main chat & chose the way without rules.
/me farts, lolwut, lmao looool!!!1111one
/me iz driva lolcake
if you want to roleplay realistically like in real life
The meaning of roleplaying is very extensive, and one way isn't better than another, like I said.
What's the problem with people f**king around?Me & all the other people who try to support realistic roleplay don't care if someone prefers to fuck around instead of roleplaying properly.
Me & all the other people who try to support realistic roleplay don't care if someone prefers to f**k around instead of roleplaying properly.
The problem starts when those people, who f**k around on the server, start to ruin the roleplay for those guys who would like to play properly.
If you already cannot behave why you need to destroy the fun for other people at the same time? In my eyes it is simpy arrogant, immature & stupid.
Those people have attention problems or what's wrong?
It's called proving a point, if you don't understand you can always use www.google.com"Touch me, feel the anger."
Uhhh, you're a little angry aren't you? :( So bad to hear..Stop provoking and get out of the topic if you don't have anything to contribute.
Stop provoking and get out of the topic if you don't have anything to contribute.Well all I see that you have with you is in my opinion bad things to contribute with. Provoking...

If you are angry, turn off the computer.. get a drink and a cigar(if you smoke).. lay on the sofa.. and relax.
Razor.
I could sit back, turn off the comp, and not make any change and just walk away like a coward, but when people wanna make change, they put things into it, try move forward, if you think im angry im not angry, I just wanna try make people think the way I do. Think of it as an Malcolm X point of view, you should look him up.Why keep talking with me when I quited?...it's just pathetic.
Why keep 'fighting' me when I quited?...it's just pathetic.
I don't give a shit if you left, freedom of speech, your momma never told you?Scroll up and see what Woodyl said, seen any last posts except these 2 ones after his words?

By the way, don't ever talk about my mum.
Dont ever call me pathetic then.Did I call you pathetic? I said IT'S pathetic.
That's a matter of opinion.And what exactly they do to ruin roleplay ?

A proper roleplay involved creativity and reacting on everything that happens arount you.
It needs using your brains, and improvisation.
They attempt to carkill you, stalk you, attack you without a proper reason, even if they're not involved, disturb the roleplay with pointless crap like:What's wrong with /me farts?...it's natural and is counted as roleplay. If a farmer walks around in the city and does/me farts
/me farts /me pushes him & he dies
Don't tell me it has something to do with creativity. Those people clearly don't have a proper working brain, they try to be funny / cool in front of their friends but ruin the roleplay situation at the same time for another group.

It's traditional for farmers damn.
That's just stupid.No. What about stomachproblems?
Then roleplay it, don't use mainchat as your /ME.Argonath is special :P But that's what makes it so awesome! It's a comfortable community,
I'm not talking only talking about you Marcus.
Everyone's taking it to a so immature level as it goes.
That's my reason why i quit. It's SO hard to RP these days on argo because no one's taking it seriously.
It's like Quiz and Mainchat are those 2 alternatives you have.
When it's 60 online, it's 10-20 who's rping. The rest are enjoying themselves on mainchat or Quiz like i said.
Argonath is special :P But that's what makes it so awesome! It's a comfortable community,
many cares about you. /me is the best command made ever in my opinion, so that's why it should be used a lot.
Also, you mentioned was about to quit/already quited, good bye. It's no proper reason if you ask me.
This is not like some stupid Valhalla where they doesn't even let you run. It just leads to a ban if you do it again after a kick.

Also, you mentioned was about to quit/already quited, good bye. It's no proper reason if you ask me.
This is not like some stupid Valhalla where they doesn't even let you run. It just leads to a ban if you do it again after a kick.
Valhalla isnt stupid...they actually care of the RP.Well, I don't like it. My point was that I think Argonath pwns Valhalla.
Guys 1 day i kindnaped someone outside it was like 10 Fbi-20 cops then the hostage freaked out and he diceded to non-rp and he started to running out then the Fbi came in and killed me,Then when i discussed it on Main chat admins blamed me....Then i asked Argonath where based on?None answerd then i said argonath should based on metagaming and powergaming then they started /banana me guys please give me a clear question "Where argonath based on" i think argonath based on policy to cheaters nothing more they dont care about Metagaming,Powergaming,Rp
No no, you're sentence was quite right; Argonath IS based on Meta- and powergaming, you shouldn't get a banana for that, as those are non-forbidden things (meta- and powergaming.) here.Alright chance,If i "/report "1 guy for metagaming what gonna happend?You ever show on argo "Id 20 kicked for metagaming"? Metagaming or Powergaming should have a punishment like Warn's or Kick's also about bunny jumping kinda of Jailing :)
If i "/report "1 guy for metagaming what gonna happend?
No no, you're sentence was quite right; Argonath IS based on Meta- and powergaming, you shouldn't get a banana for that, as those are non-forbidden things (meta- and powergaming.) here.It's not really like you said. Metagaming and powergaming are terms that didn't exist on Argonath for a long time (mainly when Argonath had only the MTA:VC server). But the SAMP server was launched, new players brought them from other RP servers, along with some other quite conflict-making habits. To me, it looks like a sign of laziness or something, that new players don't like to learn all the rules from the start, so they play by the other servers' rules and adapt to the Argonath ones if differences occur.
Metagaming should be not allowed on the server.. it suckIt's like saying playing as a granny with guns shouldn't be allowed, it sucks and it's non-realistic. If you want to, you can handicap your playing style with not using meta-gaming and power-gaming. But you can't really force other players to play by your personal rules.
Well, what is so unrealistic about a granny with a gun? Its not meta- nor powergaming, you should get the definition straight here Grzesiek.And what is so sucky in metagaming? You need it in some situations (eg. when as cop, to check who is wanted).
Anyways, people, who meta- and powergame can absolutelty NOT RP with people, who don't use it. Its inacceptable.I don't restrict myself from metagaming (mainly the ic/ooc chat thing - I use common sense instead), though I have played with you a couple of times. And I didn't see you complaining about that ;)
So my conclusion here: Don't play with Meta- and Powergamers.
Because it's hell useful! Let's... Read... This Topic!
Stop moaning, and read this topic!Traser, have you read the original post? If you suppor the original post of this topic, you also support somethings that Argonath has tried to weed out a long long time.
It's still very usefull!
Traser, have you read the original post? If you suppor the original post of this topic, you also support somethings that Argonath has tried to weed out a long long time.Well, if you have read the main post, and the topics name... All he is doing is giving some tips, its not like you HAVE to do it.
Stop moaning, and read this topic!Nice job bumping year old topic.
It's still very usefull!
Well, if you have read the main post, and the topics name... All he is doing is giving some tips, its not like you HAVE to do it.Which are not directly role-play tips, but more like self-induced realism handicaps that in the long end only cause moaning about others not applying the same to them, even though they don't have to.
Which are not directly role-play tips, but more like self-induced realism handicaps that in the long end only cause moaning about others not applying the same to them, even though they don't have to.The main point still exists, which is that he is just giving out some tips.
So in your viewpoint it is normal and and ethical to give bad advice to new players?Some people prefer this type of role-play. I can't see it as bad, unless you try to avoid the role-play with other players' individualistically style. It should be your style, not anyone else, as we are all different.
So in your viewpoint it is normal and and ethical to give bad advice to new players?Does the topic say in the heading, 'Roleplaying tips for New Comers' ?
styleNo. A set of rules/handicaps.
I can't see it as bad, unless you try to avoid the role-play with other players' individualistically style.Avoiding role-play as in not playing with someone by not visiting their usual activity area I do not see as bad. Bad is if player1 moans about player2 not following player1's own rules - which is essentially what happens most of the time when playing with people following these tips.
Does the topic say in the heading, 'Roleplaying tips for New Comers' ?It's still bad advice even to regulars.
Stop moaning, and read this topic!
It's still very usefull!

In the past, we asked ourselves whether judo fighters would win against boxers and whether ninjitsu would beat karate fighters. All sides argued their pieces stating their advantages and disadvantages but ultimately the conclusion was that the best style is to have no style. Like Bruce Lee said - 'Empty your mind, be formless. shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend'English: You're not stuck to just doing one thing. You can use your own style (Grz, if you say anything about rules or whatever, you're going to fucking set me off) and you should be able to do so freely.
It is because you're playing San Andreas with human beings, not World of Warcraft with creatures.I disagree, for the same fact that we are playing San Andreas and not dealing with real-life. If you would want reality then you would leave the server forever after getting killed once now would you? If people like reality they go and play Sims.
Woeps.. I am sorry if i try to break the vision, i am only trying to get more people to RP, nothing more, nothing less.
And here we go again...:pop: :pop: :pop: :pop: :pop: :pop: :pop: :pop: :pop: :pop: :pop: :pop: :pop: :pop: :pop: :pop:
