Clarification about Roleplay.

[Haythem]

Hello everyone,
Before we start this, you should understand that im not pointing fingers to anyone who is a member of the community.
Obviously, it's not only me who noticed this, quite other players felt this way, it's like the server is turning a bit to a freeroam mod, which is not the main goal of this server, we are there to roleplay.Let's say 70% of the players are just willing to get fancy cars, fancy houses, businesses, that's their goal and they forgot about the roleplay. You won't have fun doing that , however you dont need to be a richass to roleplay. Dont forget im not forcing anyone to roleplay here, but nowadays it's rare to see someone roleplaying out there :

• Make your own adventure: This is an RPG mode where we give several possible paths and you decide which to take, sometimes you can face the situation as you want in a roleplay manner.

• Interacting with People: Try to have fun meeting other people, interacting with them. Remember to not look at the people's tag which is over there head, and call them that, you know that its not them

• Suspects: Suspects should just stay calm, and don't panic, Plan what you will do, and what alot of people do when they're bored is provoke cops, they go near them, and say some words, and ram the car, making the cops chase them, which is a bannable / warnable / kickable offence, Avoid this.

• Police officers: Using the /su command is not a Roleplay as many of you consider it so, you can't call it a Roleplay it's just a command provided by the server and you just used it, make traffic stops, pullover someone, tax him if he's driving in an inapropriate way for example.

• 911 calls: Please avoid trolling with 911, since you wouldn't do that IRL, so its best to RP it, it's just used for some tough situation like injured civillians for example, then you may call the paramedics, and the cops would also come with them, and if you got a problem and you think someone's trying to kill you, then you can file a report to the 911, or RP it, and see what the LCPD can do

• No, you dont need to be in a faction or a group or police officer, FBI, to roleplay. You can just use your imagination to roleplay as a citizien of Liberty City. Don't be afraid to RP as a civilian, you got alot of options out there to take as a civillian,hustle, get your ass some weed or something and hang around in the streets of liberty city and sell your stuff to players them and please avoid using PM to sell your weed to players, you are killing roleplay by that way.

• Driving: If you crash, We strongly recommend you to RP the accident. Avoid driving like a junky ass ingame, there's no point of speeding and driving like a maniac to be honest, you are not a suspect to drive in 180km/h ( even suspects wont do that, i doubt )

• Mechanics: You are not Roleplaying at all when you just come near to a player telling him to do /fillup or /wash, it's kind of pathetic, that's not roleplay, you are just using a simple command given by the server as i mentionned earlier. You got the /me command, use it in these kind of roleplays, you were not given this command for nothing, it was for a purpose, to roleplay.

We strongly recommend players to roleplay and to have fun, that's all i can say.

Safe,

I doubt people that are making %70 population(optimistic % in my opinion though I would say %85 xD) will read this though thanks for this topic and I hope some will read and make the server a better place.

I also want to add something from my point of view..(which I hope people will read)

The main thing is having fun, and since this is a roleplay server, obviously people wants you to have fun by roleplaying, because more roleplayers means more roleplay, and more roleplay means more roleplay options, and more options mean more imagination and more fun. I think the important thing is to see how to have fun from roleplaying. To have fun from roleplaying, you dont need to roleplay something big like robbing banks or people, sometimes even little chit chats which is done under roleplay conditions, depending on your role, counts as roleplay and actually can mean lots of fun( I know it doesnt seems like that though it is, you just need to want it and believe to it). So just leave your shiny, fast cars and ask yourself, what do you want to be...

Do you want to be a part of Law Enforcement, and keep the law in streets? Sure go on, join to LCPD, FBI or NOoSE, act properly and live only for law, oh you say you couldnt join to them, well forget about it, you dont need them, only thing you need is your imagination..

Just an ordinary taxi driver? But it looks so boring? Well, not if you add something to it, it is only about imagination..

You can join any scripted job and add your imagination to there... But.. You want to add more imagination and these scripted jobs limit you? Who says you have to work in them, the most respected jobs are created from 0, without any support by scripts..(Im just pointing the hotdog seller which you all know )

Just go be a drug dealer, an hitman or a car renter or a car mechanic or just a beggar; anything you can imagine... Though doing these in a proper, realistic way will be more fun.. Lets say Hitman job:

I have seen lots of people who wanted to be Hitman with the Deathmatch purpose, Hitmans dont kill people randomly, lets say you want to be an hitman, do it in the proper way, meet people, make some contacts(dont use /ad ofc its illegal job!), learn who they would want killed and go for the target, but well killing one is simply DM, you have to do it in a proper way, you just have to make your target understand that it is roleplay; just choose 1 option from the imagination you have and use it that way, and dont worry, if you fail, no one will be mad at you for trying to roleplay.

When you do 1 job for the roleplay purpose, you can have lots of fun, money wont give you fun; it will just make you richer and well we all know, money wont be able to buy happiness to you.. Driving in shiny cars, all day; if it is what you want, well freeroam servers are easier to get them, dont waste your time here :/ ...

Also... Roleplaying doesnt mean you have to own a job and do it, from little chit chat to bank robbing, from begging in streets to roleplay as a lawyer. Just think your real life, what you see around, or in films or in games, anything.. And use it for your roleplay and Im sure you ll just have as much as fun as you watch a film about that person or play that game..

All in all, money is what the game will end, and roleplay will keep you in game... When you have money, all that shiny cars.. When you have nothing else to buy, if you dont know how to have fun from roleplay, you will be just wasting your time in here, so try to learn how to roleplay, improve yourself, make the server a better place for you and for others.
Just leave that damn car in your garage, take a walk today; and think what you want to be , dont just take your car to show off and to talk to some ppl about random things happening about reallife or ingame which is not non-roleplay..

Thanks if you just read all of them then this line.(I doubt but.. ehh hope is making it fun.)

I would be happy if someone attempt to read and understand it,at least...

[Haythem]

No worries, i read it all and couldn't have said it myself better.

[Undertaker]

Good read, only thing I can say it's lets make this happen people! Afterall, it's not Argonath "A world of it's own" for nothing. As for thous who wont be familiar with it that well, no need to worry, start off slowly. It's all about your imagination :3

About time the matter has come to notice, thanks for bringing it up

[Mark]

Thank you Haythem. I personally call myself freeroamer most of times. In these months , i learned alot in argonath (about english , it boosted alot than before) and im still learning like all.

To all newcomers who play argonath for first time, imagine what you want to be ! Use your mind correctly and dont drive around like Mark!

About the 911 trolling i wer doing this before 1-2 years every day so i would done it irl

1.Trolling should have some sense
2.Not every 911 call should be trolled,90% should be a real emergency (not call from suspect,or ''We have dead body,50k if you want him alive''  )

Sorry for the off-topic, but I trolled 92 ( 911 ) IRL maybe two times, when I was really young. I shortly after that realised that kind of action is pointless, stupid.  I would troll-call it only if I wanted to distract Police, in case I'm gonna rob a bank or something. It would be part of the "plan".  :p

  Nice topic ,Thanks to Haythem and tayla specially...I've been thinking about this subject too. I hope Role Playing be back to the server again...

[superh2o]

Well Haythem and Talaya said it all.
