I've noticed that since i've been back there is a serious lack of roleplay , people just are not roleplaying , for example today i saw 1 cop dming other cop's , criminals randomly shooting people, you pull someone over and there like wtf you want , when your trying to roleplay
i arrested someone today who was like "LIKE I CARE, "LOL HAHHHWHAHW" DO I CARE IF I GO JAIL" , J

Ur point ?

And?

Is it not obvious what his point is? He is trying to tell everyone to roleplay with each other...and I for one agree with him fully

Go moan somewhere else imo.

You want me to rp on a non rp server?
Basicly that's whats going on here, people are not RP'ing and this is a RP server
Adn thank you David for agreeing , It's obvious the point , There is little RP and im sure this is a RP server yet most of you either cant be bothered, dont know how , or just dont want to , and in that case , learn how or just go to another 'rp server' and dont rp there.
-
I also agree but these topics will not change people. Stop making these topics. They do NOT work.

They may not work, but they certainly give players the message that they should roleplay more instead of being greedy with money etc
-
I agree 100%. The RP has gone downhill and I don't want strict RP, I just want normal RP. There is a serious lack of RP which is no ones fault directly. I can see your frustration however to counter the problem you should maybe try and teach it?
-
Try GS9 Area. And roleplay :).

I agree with you...

Well, I went there with a few members of my Triad, and I talked to a guy (Anthony_Tyler or something, great RPer) about weed, since I sold him some of it. We had to go away from there because there were people ruining the RP for us by suddenly running up on us doing /piss and shouting random stuff in caps; flooding the chat. Also now when I go there I usually see people shooting eachother or fighting, but it works to RP there sometimes though.
-
Lol... Sometimes GS9 turns in mass DM :D When criminals go there and cops.. And there is starting a shootout.. And suddenly someone blows the GS :D
-

GS9 is nothing more than bullshit shampkoo shopping store.
why not moving to GS15 or any other GS?
-
Urs... Only Alfred is selling this "shampkoo". There are others people that are standing for RP... Like Frank_Hawk and the new Inferno 9 (i9).
-
True,also DMers are becoming more and more....
Both lack of roleplay and DMing is making the server boring and annoying sometimes but never give up :D
And yes,I dont believe by making new topics,people will moved and sudenly become RP players.
-
Come visit us at the GS9, where we role-play, without abusing ;)
-
Not everyone will RP, and not everyone will RP well.. One of the main points of having a 'new player friendly' environment is to teach new players who are willing to learn how to. The key is to roleplay with the right people, whether it be new guys willing to learn, or veterans who are also looking to roleplay. Look at the amount of people who replied to this topic. That's more than enough to make a drug deal, actually RPed arrest, traffic stop, or plane ride. Topics like these should not be considered moaning, as they show more players who agree and can roleplay with each other, as they moan.
-
Most regulars aren't helping either. They tell you to gtfo with your stupid roleplay, or worst, they tell you to gtfo to your "ZOMG1337RP" server, when you clearly don't support them.
-
Agreed. For a roleplay server, people here suck at roleplaying at most. I don't get how some of them even pass CMB exam.
-

I prefer to just lol around in my buffalo.
I don't know if it ever occured to anybody, but I don't actually like roleplay very much. I love everything else, such as group mechanics and such - but I'm not a fan of anything IC/OOC and that concept has ruined roleplay for me.
-
One word, lol.
-
GS9 is nothing more than bullshit shampkoo shopping store.

Alfred is actually role playing unlike the most of people, selling items to people to earn money. Not only killing people with orange name or lol around in a buffalo.

Yea i love to Roleplay with people. Aslong as they dont flame etc. :) Call meh ig 487.

Yeah you're right. Me and a member of my Triad just went there for some role-play and we role-played with you i9 guys and Truth. It was great RP, I gotta say GS9 is a great place to RP with people when it's not a big crowded mess with explosions and shooting at every direction.

I agree to this one. It becomes more usual that players always tell people to f**k of with their "ZOMG" roleplay because of they're using brackets and such, which is completely not how it should be.

Actually, every place is a good place if the roleplay is good.
GS9 is obviously very crowded, which brings a lot of frustration while roleplaying there when there's like cars blowing up next to you and cops/criminals punching you for no particular reason.
But I give Inferno 9 a big applause for frankly roleplaying that good in a crowded area.
-

Yeah, of course. :)
-
I don't care when people get a group of friends, and apply strict hardcore RP rules, such as IC/OOC to them, or simply apply it to themselves. But when they moan because someone else does not follow their non official rules, crying "non rp", and just trying to enforce it on others.. THAT'S when they cross the line, and seriously need to deal with Argonath ways, or find a server with their rules.
-
There are different types of role players. When you find out how they play, it's much more fun.
-
I have to agree with new players... that old ones (well not all) forget what is RP for real, and the beauty of it.

Read my words "I have to agree with new players..."... Did you seen Deathmatcher crying about lack of roleplay?

No, because they don't know how to RP...

Yes it is... and then they are flooded with tons of usules rules.

That's your vision. From what I've seen and witnessed, no one EVER told them : "Start using brackets or we will not take you seriously", "Learn to type or we will kill you", etc.
Maybe the fact that most of the veterans exclude them from their role-play, makes you think that.

Can you explain it a bit more...

For these who are lazy... here are our rules, do you see here anythin about brackets or other shit? Do you see here any "strict RP"... On these rules "Argonath" is based on, and its not only "my" vision.
-
I believe I misunderstood you.
-

Okay, here's my opinion. A helpful player should be respected either he uses brackets or not :). There's people who are ain't doing nothing and they're like 'OMG NEWBIE, LEAAAVE'. What I meant with happykiller was that I think it's important to give someone credit for even helping these new players instead of just tell them to f**k off. Even though he might use (( )), he does not force them to use it.
I don't know how, but the funny part is that more that 60% of the server uses brackets. Even when I started to play, people teached me to use them, now it's even more who uses it.
-

Oh really?
Did you do a statistical survey?
You are in the minority.

Thats called personal culture... i supose we all come here to have fun. If someone is stressed/angry, leave game/computer... take somethin to drink and relax, go to walk. We all start play from zero, i belive someone told you or others what to do. What is all about, how, where etc... Give chance to others!
About brackets... if you/your friends wana use brackets, go ahed... but dont leaern it new ones its NOT an RP rule, atleast not on Argonath.

You're a wise speaker, Legolas. I prefer using it, but If people are wondering why I use brackets, I gotta tell them the truth, for example.

Na, but approximately. It is basically a huge amount of players who is using it.
People I've never met before comes to me talking with brackets.
Happens like a few times a day, so if you multiply that with how long I've been playing and you'll get the result.

Que is correct on the bracket thing honestly. I don't think Ive seen many people who don't use them.
-
As Gandalf said in another topic (which my sig has a link to), you do not need to use brackets.
A really good RPer would get the difference between RP-Related things and other things, even if they are all said in /l.
Brackets equals more RP? Forget it. They are only for people who lack the mental capacity to differentiate things of different caliber said in /l, /w, /s, and /m.
As for the lack of RP, this is not a strict RP Server, but it is not a no-RP Server as well. Even I sell pancakes on FBI Duty, for a change. Seeing a new player become happy when I hand him his pancakes (even though they only exist in /me and /em) is priceless.

"New players are DMing us when we grow weed..."
"New players are DMing our mafia when we are meeting..."
"New players are DMing our mafia when we are escaping from cops..."
People need to learn how to defend themselves instead of crying in /report like "defenseless babies"... Especially mafia roleplayers. Those people certainly walk around atleast with a melee weapon most of the time, so I don't see why are they so unable to defend themselves. Or maybe they can't be arsed to roleplay? So why some of those are moaning around? I don't understand.
New players who do such thing are simply attempting to roleplay - think of the small time guys being tough and messing around with the powerful ones - that's the thing new players imagine as a background for roleplaying in cases like this...
Think of the "good citizens"... That's what new players have in mind... Vice City's 50$ reward system? Vigilante missions? They take such stuff in mind.

Break the rules with them do you ?
Point is, Although not a strict-RP server it's nice for people to actually RP, Like yesterday evening , in SF , I was interviewing a criminal (forgot his name) and we were having a good time RP'ing an interview , etc etc , and in between wwe were pming each other, "your RP is good" , "not everyone RP's , but you do", it was great fun , then we RPed him going to jail etc , Great fun , only if everything was like that....

If you tell them the truth, you will tell them that you are using them because otherwise people with low IQ and no skills will not know when you are serious ?
-

Yes, basically.
New: Okay, but why are you using (( )) all the time?
Me: That's because you should see when I'm talking to you in character or out of character, like private.
New: Okay, why?
Me: Because that can be sort of confusing sometimes, I've been told to play with the brackets since I came to Argonath, and I still do.
Me: But there's no rule about it, but I usually prefer using it.
But really, Gandalf. When you've played with (( )) for like two-three years, it's hard to quit. That's like in real life when you get drunk every weekend and then stop with it. It's not so easy, and it's probably more difficult without it than with it.
:roll:
-
Why do these topick usaly have so many post ,but no effect?
All i can say is what other people say : :cry: Please, RolePlay! :cry:
-
If people doesn't roleplay, hang out with the kind of people that is up for roleplay, try to avoid the people that does not roleplay, make something good of it.

Wrong discussion.

You: That's because you should see when I'm talking to you in character or out of character, like private.
New: What is in character ?
You: in character is the person you RP, so if I say 'f*ck you' then you know it is for RP.
New: Ok
New (to admin in RP): f*ck you!!!
Admin: /warn New flaming
New: but they told if I do not use (()) it is allowed
Admin: Argonath does not have IC/OOC
New: ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Thanks for helping....

Oh sweet, You guys are going to start moaning again after one year of silence?
Listen up, Roleplay stands for fun, if you can't handle that part of roleplay and prefer everyone to use brackets, tell them that they can't do this or that, you should re-read the rules of Argonath.
There is no SUCH rule that dis-allows you to roleplay in your own way, even if that's driving around in a car.. What is wrong with that? Stop moaning and if you really think the server has lack of roleplay, try to imrpove it in your own way.
Why do these topick usaly have so many post ,but no effect?

Open your eyes.. Roleplay is all around you.

I'll just go ahead an agree on this. I was taught and told to use brackets by regulars here a long time ago. I started using them because I thought that it was the correct way to roleplay. I know better now but I still use brackets, but only because I am to used to them. I use them automatiacally now. I do not encourage people to use them like I was encouraged and told, and I believe no one else should either.

I think we got teached at the same time, basically.
If gandalf is wrong on that ,tell me how it is then.
Na, no need for that.
Those who actually have something against brackets and so on should maybe realize that it's teached here at argo, even when I started two-three years ago, it was here.
Now it has expand a lot, I seriously feel kinda odd when someone is not using it, as it is that usual.
I don't even know why people are bothering so much about it. Everyone is different.

today i was 3 times abused i lost 3k bcouse of a newb cop... ppl roleplay!

Teach him how to roleplay then. They wont learn until you show them.
-
If you don't want to roleplay that means you are bored...so why not leave the server and let others enjoy the game ?
I will give an example based on my statement.If you dont know my job is to rob players.I call them,setup a meeting place and then i will get into action.I always carry a shotgun with me.So...few days ago i was ingame looking for someone to rob.I see an advertise like : Selling name of the car price 200 k.Phone:xxxxxx.
I call the guy i tell him i want to buy his car with 200k,he is happy about that,we setup a meeting place(usually at Lighthouse,Los Santos) and then he comes with his car.Then after a little chat i tell him there's a minor problem then he asks what's the problem then i tell him like that THIS IS A ROBBERY THAT's THE PROBLEM GIVE ME YA MONEY NOW OR I SHOOT pointing my shotgun at him.Then the player enters his car and leaves,or it tells me that he doesnt want to roleplay,others tell me im DM(LOL).Usually 9 out of 10 happens like that because there is only ONE reason : PEOPLE ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY THEY FORGOT ABOUT FRIENDS AND ROLEPLAY.And for me that is time loose and I dont want to loose time with someone unable to roleplay.Now I am sure you will come and say : But you rob people for money.Yeah I rob people for money but I get like few hundred dollars.Once I got 7000 $ and some time ago I got 25 $.And i use those money to buy weapons to rob again.I keep the spirit of roleplay alive.I don't own a car or a house.Atm i have only 2 k in the bank.
So people....Don't want to ROLEPLAY ? then GTFO
PS:It's not about new players...It's about pretty old players !
-
There is no need to teach others to use brackets.
If someone asks you, then tell it is something that is not needed, just you are used to it. The guys who were trying to enforce the use are long gone...

When people aim a gun at you, you are suppose to act scared lol, not run around in sircles and take our your tec9 and shoot.
-
I use brackets, i was learned to use them here, i learn my new members what is it, and teach them to use it in Gvardia roleplay.
Why? Cause we prefer that kind of role play, although its not even close to the word "strict role play", which i personally dislike. If they do not like the way we role play, no one gonna force them to, and if they cant stand it, they are free people, who can chose alone, which group or way of role play they prefer.
People moaning about no role play on server all the time, and they just dont realize all they got to do is this :
If people doesn't roleplay, hang out with the kind of people that is up for roleplay, try to avoid the people that does not roleplay, make something good of it.
I would edit this and say: If people does not wanna be part of your kind of role play, find people who got similar taste, and you will have more then enough fun on server.

I've noticed that since i've been back there is a serious lack of roleplay , people just are not roleplaying , for example today i saw 1 cop dming other cop's , criminals randomly shooting people, you pull someone over and there like wtf you want , when your trying to roleplay
i arrested someone today who was like "LIKE I CARE, "LOL HAHHHWHAHW" DO I CARE IF I GO JAIL" , J
Yeah, lack of roleplay cos everyone is busy with moan....
Locked.
