NO, serious role-play, is simply giving out most of the effort in role-play, and not dicking around.I'm putting this in big letters on my signature
Also, you're not superman/batman/who-ever-the-fk, your character doesn't have super powers, therefore you need to stay somehow in the line of realism.
Success/fail - Bad example of role-playing.
This success fail is like the oldest method and it's an excuse to powergame and not get punished. Imagine a situation where a player uses success/fail.
* Player1 punches Player2 in the face.
* S/F ((Player1)).
* F ((Player2)).
* Why fail? ((Player1)).
* because fail ((Player2)).
Success/fail is for players here who think they are superior, "wow i learnt 2 s/f im god rp lol ^_^" - no you're not, S/F is the most stupid method of role-playing ever because ANY action done on you, you can always resist it with a /me, or play along with it. Good role-play:
* Player1 swiftly swings his fist to Player2's cheek area.
* Player2 quickly ducks before the punch was completed.
And by the way JayL, you are clearly here to get the piss out of me since you act like you don't know the obvious, no, I never said you get banned for powergaming.
There's a reason why Argonath is a world of its own: Being able to roleplay whoever they want to be within the server rules.
We had a big Zombie Outbreak a week ago, with evolutions of them from walking with /drunk to driving vehicles :lol: Tell me that's not fun.

Yet when I kill a zombie with no warning whatsoever they start moaning. People only play a role as long as it benefits them.
JayL is trying to be a troll, be he's failing so hard.
This is what I don't like from you. You even told me you don't mind roleplaying something that's unusual when we had a talk, and now you say this? There's a reason why Argonath is a world of its own: Being able to roleplay whoever they want to be within the server rules.Yes, I mentioned I don't mind people roleplaying something that is unusual, but I don't expect people to have powers which are over the limit if they are role-playing an everyday thing.

Useless role-play
I would consider a few things as useless and not contributing to anything, things such as this:
* Player gets out of the car. X
Come on! It's obvious you're getting out of the car, we're not blind and that /me is completely useless.
What would be useful to this situation, is when you do another action while getting out of the car...
* Player slowly rolls his head after getting out of the car, quickly searching his right pocket. √
Even this example is not usually needed, unless you have some sort of reason for "rolling" your head.
Also I'd like to add, a lot of people here are stereotypical to the "serious RP", and they think serious roleplay is this:
* Player opens door.
* Player puts first leg out.
* Player puts second leg out.
* Player jumps out.
* Player closes door.
NO, serious role-play, is simply giving out most of the effort in role-play, and not dicking around.

The /me slowly rolls his head after getting out of the car, searching for his right pocket. Is not "useless"The /me you just mentioned was actually good role-play, but I said useless roleplay is "/me gets out of the car." with nothing actually.
It adds depth to your character, and makes him slightly different from everyone else. It's part of realistic roleplay as well, because people have things that they do, body language that they express, etc. Some people just try to capture that in RP to make their character seem more alive.
S/F can only be used when both people are fair roleplayers, since one party has to look at the odds in the event to decide wether the action was a success or failure, sure the other player can just say F every time, but I have been on a server where this works very well, all the time.

I play as a Batmanish superhero sometimes or an alien, so f**k off with your no superhero rp thingieLearn to read please, I never said you can't RP something unusual, I just said you have to role-play so it would be fair to everyone who are around you.
I play as a Batmanish superhero sometimes or an alien, so f**k off with your no superhero rp thingieMr. Moderator of SA:MP Argonath please do not tell other players to fuck off :). Some people find that offensive thank you
I play as a Batmanish superhero sometimes or an alien, so f**k off with your no superhero rp thingieBatman didn't have superpowers.
Also to the guy who says '' Batman didn't have superpowers '' i know it but jingle put his name on the topic and there are more than one type of aliens like vulcans can do vulcan nerve pinch and make people stun or daleks can shoot lasers from their robot-arm-things etcI'm sorry, but those are abilities, not superpowers.

And when a cop shoots you in the face when you run away going "/me is a super mutant and can't be killed", you will soon see the result. :D

Erm, how can you be level 1 and meet a super mutant?
Your story, sir, is flawed.

The S/F is not needed.
/me attempts to insert the nightstick.
Player1* moves a little and evades the nightstick.
Or
/me attempts to insert the nightstick.
/em Did you move or anything, which could make "Name" fail with the attempt?
Player1 * /em No.
Trobby, when people use S/F, they expect to get S or F, not a /me. That's why S/F is dumb and unneeded.
Your examples are all right though.
^ That's exactly what I mean, but the whole S/F thing is unneeded and reactions to anything can go with a /me.
Does anyone know *something*_Jefferson's forum name? (Michael_Jefferson or something)
In case he's browsing this thread: You're a disgrace to all roleplayers.
+10000000000000000000000 THOMAS ARE YOU GETTING THIS, S/F IS FOR NOOBSAre you randomly meaning me with this?

Stanley Jefferson? He's MrFuture.
Future is a solid RPer. He uses S/F as other players. I don't see that as a disgrace.Void is right...

because when I just joined this server I got taught by some great Roleplayers, and they learned me to use the S/F feature, even in 58th Street Conecta was everyone using it. :redface:
Yeah when I first joined someone and I was rping in LSPD. I remember a stracci member or someone said "No you noob you are powergaming, you have to type "attempt" in the rp and use s/f"
I look back now and I know it was stupid as hell
by calling me noob? :trust:
As for me: less you use /me - much nicer roleplay... For you it sounds weird I suppose...
As for me: less you use /me - much nicer roleplay...I don't see much sense in this sentence. Actually, I see none.
I don't see much sense in this sentence. Actually, I see none.
I suppose by less you mean not over exaggerating. Using /me for every step you make is sick. That's not RP.
Aragorn seems afraid of the word role-play, has he failed doing that with his wife? :roll:
Attempt to troll failed.
Attempt to lick ass failed.
Attempt to shit community failed.
Aragorn seems afraid of the word role-play, has he failed doing that with his wife? :roll:Cya.
Oh, look, some intelligence is still on forums... You got correct my words... Actually, by general, it means removing from using /me command that zomg status of "God of Roleplay"...
1. Less abuse of this command (or overuse how here some declared)
2. Less making a shitty rules on its usage
3. Less disturbing other players with demands...
aragorn go ahead and put a dot at the end of your sentence, it wont hurt j00
junaid go ahead and use one forum account, it wont hurt j00
immatureWriting in an all-serious words does not make you mature. This is the INTERNET.
I don't see a reason not to listen to people's ideasIdeas are not listened to, ideas are thought thorough and denied if they aren't good enough. Just because YOU like the idea, doesn't mean it's a good one.
Amusing to see how you attempt to insult Aragorn and think that you won't get route blocked off here. Hahahadun feed trols
Player1 attempts to murder Player2 with a knifeJust to point this out; Player 1 would ask for s / f because he doesn't want to kill player 2 and hearthis right after: 'WTF WHY DID YOU KILL ME! I HAD 10k OF GUNS! THOUGHT WE WAS GONNA RP!''
Player1 : S/F?
Player2 is busy trying to buy his can of sprunk and doesn't notice Player1
Player1 : S/F?
Player2 is busy trying to buy his can of sprunk and doesn't notice Player1
