Dear Argonath players,This is you:
As ArgonathRPG is roleplay server, I decided to make "RP GUIDE" for you, to improve the roleplay situations. I know I ain't the best RPer in the world, but trying to help you out. Here will be few examples, which can make your RP situation look more professional, experienced. Use imaginationm that's the key.
/me looks on Renz0. - /me turns his gaze towards Renz0, raising his eyebrow questionally.
/me cuffs him - /me extends his right hand towards his utility belt, taking out his cuffs, cuffing Renz0's arms up, locking the cuffs.
/me shoots from the window - /me rolls his passenger seat down, grabs his [weapon name], leans out from the window, squeezing the trigger multiple times.
/me sits down - /me extends his hand, grabbing a chair and moving it towards him, while he sits down on it.
/me aims the weapon out of his window - /me rolls the window down, sticks his weapon out of it, taking an aim.
/me keeps him on gunpoint - /me places his index finger on the trigger, while still aiming at the guys' head.
Few examples, hope this helped you at least.
/me sits down - /me extends his hand, grabbing a chair and moving it towards him, while he sits down on it.LOOL OH BOY HERE WE GO

This isn't how to roleplay a all. You're setting a bad example.

This is how roleplay looks like.
No it is not. It is how a course in typing unnecessary things looks like.

No it is not. It is how a course in typing unnecessary things looks like.
/me Looks at Renz0 : changes the direction of the character so that is faces him
/me cuffs him : type the /cuff command (unless in case of roleplay outside of cop suspect)
/me shoots out of the window : type the command on keyboard
Your examples are unnecesary flooding of chat with things that can be seen.
/me is for actions you can not see, it is not to replace the visuals with text-based roleplay.
This is how roleplay looks like.
/me withdraws his deagle slowly as it scratches the leather gun holster which is strapped to his belt on the right side of his body then moves his arm upward slowly then moves his other arm up and cocks the gun as it goes *click clack* then lowers his arm again keeping the hand with the gun in still up in the air before he slowly puts his finger onto the trigger then gently pulls his finger backwards and the gun goes off killing Renz0 for showing bad RP skills.POWERGAME

Your role-play do not develop just because you write longer /me's. Harder English words do not make you a better player.That's the point where I wanted to went at.
Role-play is all about imagination and creativity, if you can involve a lot of both into role-play scenarios, whether what you're role-playing, then it should satisfy others.
Indeed, more detailed /me's is one part of creativity, but it is although not always necessary.

Absolute BS topic.
But yeah I can't stop laughing at the replies. :lol:
I dont give a f**k, proper RP looks like that.Proper role play, my ass. I know role play needs to be detailed and it contributes to proper role play as well but long /me's which include extending stuffs ranging from hands to penis isn't proper role play. That's just bull shit. What are you going to do when you are role playing having sex? /me extends his penis, prepares it to cum and slowly inserts it into the vagina?
But the replies are so f**king awesome.
I dont give a f**k, proper RP looks like that.Role-play is playing a role and developing that role until the role ends. What you think you're doing is adding soi-disant rich vocabulary to your /me, when in reality you look like a total douche with a pre-school English level who just found out about the verb "to extend" and the conjuction "as" and can't wait to prematurely ejaculate every time he uses the new words he learnt.
Proper role play, my ass.
This won't take this server far, cause it's full of people who's having this same attitude. You're even not trying to roleplay, which can be seen based on ingame so-called "roleplay".What Renz0 said isnt roleplay, it's just dragging /me on for aslong as possible and isn't RP! :lol:

You're even not trying to roleplay, which can be seen based on ingame so-called "roleplay".Yes, Argonath lacks role play now. But it doesn't mean that there's no role play at all. I still find some role players and just go on with them, if not I just accommodate according to the level of the other player. And about "Not even trying to role play", I doubt I have ever met you in game or role played with you.
You are Argonathians, what did I expect, as Jerome said.Yup you are an Argonath player, shows by your first post.

Yup you are an Argonath player, shows by your first post.:lol:
Bad examples are you trolling this topic.I play where you play as well. But I don't think people are there limited to using the same words again and again, hell I have never seen people using the same old sentences again and again.
I was argonathian, but playing a lot somewhere where that kind of RP from ym first post is used, trust me.
Playing on Argonath doesn't mean you are heartful Argonathian.
I play where you play as well. But I don't think people are there limited to using the same words again and again, hell I have never seen people using the same old sentences again and again.
They are not limited, tha's how great RP gets created.Yup, you are right here that's why you will always find good role players there. AND that's why I wouldn't call your first post proper role play. :)
They are not limited, tha's how great RP gets created./me extends his arm then says, make a new guide!
They are not limited, tha's how great RP gets created.On the contrary. People there are limited to IC, where as we do not pose any liimits. That currently a new generation has to be trained is a direct result of us not imposing limits.
/me extends his arm then says, make a new guide!You're living in the 70's, it's old now.
You're living in the 70's, it's old now.I didn't say Renz0 can't behave, I just said his RP guide stinks... :roll:
Quit the provoking and behave "as THE Argonathian" you say Renz0 cannot behave as.
I didn't say Renz0 can't behave, I just said his RP guide stinks... :roll:Give the guy some slack, he has been playing on servers where that is considered quality RP.
Give the guy some slack, he has been playing on servers where that is considered quality RP.
Those who they talk about when thay say the RP is " better" :lol:
Gandalf was f**king roleplaying in vc times before all f**king moaners were created...
Hmmmm, sure. Was Gandalf on other RP server also to verify the rp, before all moaners were created?Yes and I was thoroughly bored.
Yes and I was thoroughly bored.
Let me give you an advice. Go to the "OTHER RP SERVER", and watch the roleplay there, then go back to this topic, to it's OP, and think if you found any differences. Seriously.Just because you mimic roleplay that is found there doesn't make it good. I've roleplayed there as well, and there is a tremendous amount of shit roleplayers who have no idea what they are doing.

Seriously.I have learned to roleplay at a time when there was no inventory, houses were not marked, and the main commands were /me and /send.
I have learned to roleplay at a time when there was no inventory, houses were not marked, and the main commands were /me and /send.So it was like the 60's and 70's compared to 2012?
In those times we played restaurant owners selling various foods, hotel owners renting rooms, hobo's begging for money, secret agents, illegal immigrants, chinese fireworks salemen and countless other things.
In between we were at parties, hunted criminals or were hunted by cops.
Flaming, even 'IC' was immediate warn or kick. Profane language, same. Try to come back arguing ? Tempban. Topic on forum ? Immediate removal and forum warning.
Do not even think that you can try to teach me anything about roleplay. I can play you away any time of the day.
Gandalf, you were never in any RP situation, therefore you cannot explain how ROLEPLAY looks like. You keeping beefing to something which ain't relevant to this. Take some time and visit other RP server. You will spot the RP LEVEL there, and you will be able to think what you just wrote. Meaning you are 1000+ years old, doesn't mean you ate every brain and you know how things look like. Right, IRL you are maybe 30+, you are more experienced than me, I agree. But what is connecting to SAMP roleplay and the roleplay level you don't know nothing about it. Seriously you all trollers, go visit other RP server and try to survive there 20 mins without RP, being not AFK. Try it. Eat my balls.
This whole thread in a nutshell::lol:
Holy shit someone's not rping the way people do at other servers!! HOLY SHIT HERETIC bad girlES DIE IN FIRE.
No, screw you bastard, our RP is the right one and you don't know how to RP because you invented your kind of RP which is wrong use xxx!!!
Guys, grow up.
I have learned to roleplay at a time when there was no inventory, houses were not marked, and the main commands were /me and /send.Oh well, guess he has already replied. :D

Seriously you all trollers, go visit other RP server and try to survive there 20 mins without RP, being not AFK.The funny part is that all the trollers you talk about are into good groups, and role-playing exceptionally on that side you adore so much.
First you disrespect him, saying he cannot role-play. Now you're whiping his ass with you tongue?
What a creativity, woah. I like it, tbh.

It is more creatinve as standing idle for payday and abusing /me for things that are visual, while team-DMing other factions.

You come here to rant and glorify a place that is way out of your league and get upset when people show how much of an idiot you are.
So it was like the 60's and 70's compared to 2012?
I wish RP was still like you explained Gandalf even though I never got to see it, maybe you should do 'back to old scripts week' where everyone can expierience what the old Argonath was like... :)
TBH I think you should show the owner of the server your playing on for free some more respect instead of bagging the roleplay he said the community used to do which is honestly the best kind of roleplay in my opinion..
What a creativity, woah. I like it, tbh.
Visit MTA VC, then you can experience old Argonath in the present day.

I have seen all sorts of ass lickers but this is just f**king ridiculous.
I don't find this topic to be a load of shit because someone posted "RP advices" or because people tell the OP his style of RP is shit because it is from another server.
I find it to be an utter load of shit because an amateur walks into Argonath, tells the owner and the rest of the community they do not know how to roleplay, glorifies a bunch of servers that are out of even his league, and then suddenly glorifies the very person he was shitting after one post, in addition to staying in a place he finds a load of shit anyway. If you think other RP server is cool and Argonath is shit, then it makes no f**king sense to stay here in the first place.
Renzo, if you will take a view on something, at least retain some dignity for yourself. I have banned moaners, trolls, shitters, and flamers who had even more self-respect than you.
Wow, I just gained some respect for JDC./me extends his hand to give JDC a thumbs up.
respect +++++.
I am serious. :)
:)Or you could just do:
You told Gandalf to try out the 'rp server', which technically means that you are comparing that server to Argonath. Which also means, Argonath has creativity that makes it unique from all other roleplaying servers. Argonath RPG is a world of it's own, that's what makes it unique. That line has been repeated many times, yet you can't understand. Not following your 'suggestion' doesn't mean that we do not want to 'improve' Argonath, it's just that the base of your idea/suggestion/advice doesn't benefit. There is a reason why there are more players who beg to differ than to support.
/me sits
or
/me grabs the chair then slowly takes a seat
What's the difference? In fact, you can just type the anim command /sit instead of typing /me.
Or you could just do:=/
/me extends his arm then grabs the chair and pulls it up to his legs before sitting down then extends his arms to rest onto the table. :D
If someone extends hand to me, then I:/me extends his arm to punch Elite. :D
/me extends hand to slap the person
What if I RP some desease, which is not real (therefore doesn't exist) which makes my wrists extremely wide? Then SAMP team will need to make a rope cuff animation :)(http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/18474832.jpg)

The rules on which this style of pure RPG is based originated from ab's RPG Rules.
You are Argonathians, what did I expect, as Jerome said.

Some of you call it getting that srs-rp to our own world.Your RP style is shit then. :neutral:
But I call it good roleplay style, highly upgraded.
Some of you may oppose, some of you may agree. More heads, more taste.
You forgot fingering goats....LOL, but what about sheep?
Btw, that takes an extended hand.
Your RP style is shit then. :neutral:
I was on one of srs rp serverz simply because I forgot how things were on those, I got carjacked and dmed within first 30 minutes of the game and couldn't do shit about it since it was classified to be 'rp', yet when I tried getting a weapon I didn't have any cash + there was 2 hour restriction on weapons for newbies..Biggest bullshit post in this topic.
Nothing special at all really. Very hard to take it serious anyways, due to all the spelling and grammar mistakes. If you're trying to add as much words as you can, just to look interesting, you should at least be able to properly talk/type in English. Stick to extending hands, man...

This is RP, not your f**king para-Roleplays.
It's all just prolonged sentences, instead of typing /me kneels down and ties up his legs he writes /me slowly kneels down and ties up both his legs.... Pathetic really, it's shit RP TBH...

I didn't made it up, if you really want, I'll give you the IP and you'll see how it is yourselfYou can't put every server under the same comb just because you joined a random one. Obviously, that server you were on was nothing more than one big failure.
naturally it doesn't portray every other RP server as bad, but considering it had more players than us online, ...
Personally, I use a lot of descriptive words in my /me's, anything that would allow the other person to more accurately picture what my character is doing is great.So do I, but it doesn't make a player using less words, yet having a lot of creativiy (role-play setups, scenarios etc) a worse role-player.

Well, when I started reading this topic I was actually glad that somebody gives a f**k about roleplay.
But then, when I saw the comments...very sad.Anyways, good job Renz0 trying to improve the roleplay but yeah...the rest continue to troll and moan, stick to your "excellent" RP, you're on the right way...
Then go RP with your other RP server friends then, why are you still wasting time here trying to look popular and awesome when everyone is already pointing out how much of an idiot you have been?This

Adn who the hell are you to determine if a thread can be locked ?I asked, I didn't demand. Don't go passively aggressive on me.
In this community we do not lock threads because someone feels butthurt.Not a single inch, you're the one who's actually dealing with the messes. To start with, I didn't even participate in any conversations here, why do you blindly believe I'm butthurt in the first place?
Better for you to leave Argonath instead of staying here and shitting on our community.
Why aren't you leaving? Are you afraid the people on other RP server will not accept you either?

Sorry, I'm not going to school. I already finished it.It doesn't matter you'd still have to extend your hands anyway... :fly:
Thanks for trying to help people out with a few 'tips, Renz0.Good advices, Paulo. Ten plus.
I get your point and also believe people need to use more animations and /me to explain and express themselves better, but not actually the way you did on your first post.
Like people mentioned here before, /me is for situations where animations can't express your actions, or when they simply don't work.
A huge problem that I experienced is that SA:MP makes people think it's all about drugs, wars, gangsters & thug life. (Like in the main story of SA)
With that being said, most (very new) players restrict their roleplay to cops & robbers and similar.
It's a matter of personal taste, however, don't restrict yourself to one role if you're trying to improve your roleplaying skills.
I personally enjoy versatile roleplay, different skins, different locations, different people to RP with and that.
Just when it comes to family roleplay like in Sims, I just don't feed into it because it's riduculous to me and I feel too old for that kind of RP.
My advices would be:
Improve your english skills so you're actually able to express yourself properly. That's the most important thing.
Learn all the animations and try to combine them with simple and short /me's to make situations look more unique.
Most of times it's still better to say something than just doing another /me.
(Rather say 'Where is the next public toilet, dude' than '/me needs to shit real bad.')
Get in contact with different types of people, so you get yourself into more versatile roleplay situations.
Hanging out with gangsters all day is cool, but that's not making you fantastic roleplayer.
Use your imagination, don't think too much of being a thug once you have a black skin, or don't be too strict once you feel like being a business man.
Think of funny (not trolling) stuff, try to make situations more uniquely, be smart, witty and original.
Try to drop bossy, swanky & immature attitudes, and keep your guns in your pockets.
You're not a pro if you kill someone because you shot him down while he's typing.
Hope this helps, too.
Cheers,

Improve your english skills so you're actually able to express yourself properly. That's the most important thing.
Learn all the animations and try to combine them with simple and short /me's to make situations look more unique.
Most of times it's still better to say something than just doing another /me.
(Rather say 'Where is the next public toilet, dude' than '/me needs to shit real bad.')
Get in contact with different types of people, so you get yourself into more versatile roleplay situations.
Hanging out with gangsters all day is cool, but that's not making you fantastic roleplayer.
Use your imagination, don't think too much of being a thug once you have a black skin, or don't be too strict once you feel like being a business man.
Think of funny (not trolling) stuff, try to make situations more uniquely, be smart, witty and original.
Try to drop bossy, swanky & immature attitudes, and keep your guns in your pockets.
You're not a pro if you kill someone because you shot him down while he's typing.
Hope this helps, too.
Cheers,

Passively agressive is giving a negative opinion about a topic and asking it to be closed.Okay boss, next time something goes out of hand don't say you didn't expect this.
With 15 posts here you got a lot to learn, one thing is that we usually do not close topics. Once a topic has ran its course, it just drops down to oblivience.
Okay boss, next time something goes out of hand don't say you didn't expect this.No problem... just expect here a more loose policy as on most forums, regardless of the topic...
I can ensure you Argonathian standards are far better thanYou made my day :rofl:

This is RP, not your f**king para-Roleplays.
Couldn't agree more with what Paolo said. ;) And Renz0 I wanna hang out with you more to set my imagination on wings again. :devroll:You want to learn to extend your arms?
You want to learn to extend your arms?Who is extending arms? :D

Hanging out with people like Renz0 whose goal is to monopolize roleplay limits your imagination, not free them.Haha I never agreed to learn to RP from him, but whether good or bad, being with different people time to time mostly helps your imagination. When the strategy is to learn and adapt in most cases.
It'll be like sawing off your wings instead of being taught to fly them.
People trying to bring in styles like these are the reason the overall quality of player imagination in SA:MP has paled compared to that of the MTA:VC era.lol Had a cake in breakfast JDC? :roll:
RP is like a cake, and all the pretty scripts we get to make things we look good are like those things you add to the cake to make it taste better. However, some RP "styles" and ideas (such as the one the topic author is supporting) do not go well with Argonath's cake, as it would be like trying to make a chocolate cake taste better by using salt instead of sugar.

Are you seriously trying to make people follow the ''hand extension'' example? :D
proper RP- because, let's be honest, it's not.
Your role-play do not develop just because you write longer /me's. Harder English words do not make you a better player.
Role-play is all about imagination and creativity, if you can involve a lot of both into role-play scenarios, whether what you're role-playing, then it should satisfy others.
Indeed, more detailed /me's is one part of creativity, but it is although not always necessary.
>ahold
>ain't that a bits
>an baby
Not to mention that typing long sentences is boring, especially when the other players will also have a delay in responding. More than half of the shit you all said was useless, anyway. It can all be displayed by doing simple character movements. That would help move the entire scenario faster. The entire thing was so boring. It's not creative. It's stereotypical "hurr durr gangsta" shÑ–t. If this is what roleplay is to you, I feel sorry for you.
The best "RP advices [sic]" is to ignore all given RP advices [sic] unless they're:
A. Be original.
B. Be entertaining.
C. Be adaptive and play with what you have.
Thanks for trying to help people out with a few 'tips, Renz0.
I get your point and also believe people need to use more animations and /me to explain and express themselves better, but not actually the way you did on your first post.
Like people mentioned here before, /me is for situations where animations can't express your actions, or when they simply don't work.
A huge problem that I experienced is that SA:MP makes people think it's all about drugs, wars, gangsters & thug life. (Like in the main story of SA)
With that being said, most (very new) players restrict their roleplay to cops & robbers and similar.
It's a matter of personal taste, however, don't restrict yourself to one role if you're trying to improve your roleplaying skills.
I personally enjoy versatile roleplay, different skins, different locations, different people to RP with and that.
Just when it comes to family roleplay like in Sims, I just don't feed into it because it's riduculous to me and I feel too old for that kind of RP.
My advices would be:
Improve your english skills so you're actually able to express yourself properly. That's the most important thing.

At-least he supports, demostraights and makes creative Roleplay within the server which is in the boundaries of the Argonath Vision.It was sarcastic, I actually think alot of roleplay Jcs does it just epic and fun, Argonaths needs more people like him. :D
His advices for the Community as a whole gave a good idea to those fellow players on how to act on a Roleplay scene.
Even if your post was sarcasm, read the above in case you do not understand.
But mainly Jcstoods is an alcoholic, yes. :lol:
Couldn't find any other productive and constructive posts besides from Que and Link.Free speech FTW, but yeah this topic turned from a 1 post guide on bad roleplay into an 11 page lesson on trolling. :lol:
The remaining posts mainly consist of disrespectful, profiling and provocative comments.
I actually expected more, especially from our beloved 'conservative' ones :-)
Cheers and bump,

I'm writing this on Gavino's behalf. He is forum banned, as usual...Ok Gavino, Lets extend the arm and re welcome you. You do a GREAT roleplay even on the forums, role play of acting as a third person. Good wishes. :clap:
Gavino:
Renzo, you give totally wrong example. Role Play is simple when you absorb the role of a character. In general, you can not restrict the roleplay in proper and not proper. Each character has a different style. Detailing of words in the commands /me and /do give more or less accurate description of the actions made by one character. This is not mandatory, but is practiced in some cases. Depends on the situation. The more creative and clever you are, the better role player you will be. Do not bother to direct anything to me, at this stage I can not answer.
