A shove in the right direction of Roleplaying correctly.

[Knoothead]

That is meta-gaming.... as if the cop is not in sight they could not spot the uniform.

Yes, it is.
But don't you think they will?
As you loose 250 for getting killed and 500 for surrendering,
Yeah i know the /confess but nvm^^

Wel goodluck getting players here to not say yor name etc ...or to even use /p as ooc and /l as icc

So saying the players name isnt Metagaming , the names were left in by the devs and are thus usable also there is no rule against me saying 'hey Hayden hows it hangin' when I am rp ing a cop. So it may be Laming in a n RP enviroment but its not Metagaming
Posted on: December 06, 2007, 12:57:05 PMAbout the cops I think there should be A detective class , plain clothed officers who have all cop commands but look white on the map and have civilian clothes on . this would be verry nice to have undercover cops etc .

I want Argo more rp
Nice idea about the undercover cops

[Castor_Troy]

I read this thread and I just want to point out one thing that many players get confused with. A suspect isn't guilty until proven guilty by terms of evidence and/or statements. Thus /suspect [id] [reason] is NOT = /guilty [id] [reason] (i know this command dont exist, just making a point). The only problem now (if they havent changed it recently) is that an officer cant unsuspect a suspect.

For an example it is RP for an officer to /suspect someone who does "/ad Im selling drugs, call me" just like Gandalf said. But then it is the reporting officers duty to check if this person really is dealing drugs because if another officer arrives at the scene first, he will assume that the suspect is guilty to the crime without further evidence.

[Prometheus[NL]]

I know , wouldnt it be fun if there really was a trial for the heavy offences (like murder or large quantities of drugs) There then could be a Judge who had the /cancelsuspect and /jail command (either the prissoner is jailed for 1 to 5 mins or freed )

[Gandalf]

And naturally the Judge would also handle cases where cops abused their rights and fine them or suspend them.
Cops would not be allowed to use weapons, unless in self defense.
And even then they would have to provide proof that they first fired a shot in to the air and gave the criminal a chance to give up before firing aimed.
After every killing of a suspect, the cop will be suspended from duty until the Judge will decide his case.

Nothing stops you guys from making trials for suspects. There even is a court interior ready for just such cases. So why does nobody use it ?
Set an example for others to show that it is fun.

I like the sound of that. But, where is the court?

Nice RP guide
worth a link in the HomePage coz it refers to all our servers

[Fatboy_Rob]

Yes Gandalf, i had forgotten about that(your coments) ill post them up on teh 1st post.

Iggy ~ Yes, that is one definition of Meta-Gaming.
Alot of players run by the one i used, and i mean alot. and yes, other people have their own definition on Meta-gaming, but its right there.
When have i stopped saying this is a Fun RP Server?

Also, Iggy, yo have to take into consideration, that if the name tags were removed.
i could walk up to you and say "Hey Iggy, its Ron" and you wouldent know.
Also, that would destroy any fun, but could be used for hardcore Rper's, but i woudent like it 100%

Metagaming is a broad term usually used to define any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game.

Iggy, thats the same thing i said in my definintion.

Character not knowing me.
(( Player: Hey Hayden, im RPing a drug dealer today ))
(( Hayden: cool man :P ))
*player: hey hayden, wanna buy some weed?
*Hayden: no, go away.
(( Hayden: how do you know my name? ))
(( Player: Its hanging above your head ))

Thus Using an extrenal factor(my name above my head) to affect the game(or RP situation).

I know there is no rule for it.
but this is a RP Server, and it should be suggested more often.
cause it ruins all the RP for us all hardcore/Pro Rpers

I love it and all, excpeilly because my name is in there, but if you really don't want cop to caught you talking of drugs then you should really use /pm. Not that it's forced, but it is a bit wiser.

[Fatboy_Rob]

but even then MrEcks. its non RP

use cellphones for stuff like that

Not if your setting up the RP characters.

[RobbyMeister]

Nice guide. Hayden is a great RPer, I noticed when we had our preparation meeting today in Bayside

[Fatboy_Rob]

Thank you Robbymeister

Yes, your's is set fairly high too, i enjoy RPing with you, cause, you take what your doing seriously.

 I think more animations would help to display what you might feel, more like /sleep or /fuckyou to do a hand motion, or /hurt to look like you shot. I know its possible for a lot of these because I was on this other RP server and they had tons of these animations, and for some reason I never timeout and entering a building takes a couple seconds.. weird. I like the scripts and commuinty and ArgonathRPG style but we need a way to get more RP and yeah, I always look for the skin of the other player and look at my skin and if they match and I met them before then I should know them and I can use there name in a RP, but if I haven't met a person then I always use sir or miss, and I sometimes ask for there name if I care. If you never met the person and just plain say hey Bryant_Dax whats up, I would do this (( How you know my name, learn some RP)) its very insulting to some players and gets them to RP more.

 The other server has some good things, but its very boring and too much RP for me. I would rather have a simple scripts so I can create the RP, not have it created for me to follow all the time, for example The Godfather server failed because it was too much damn RP, it forced you to get a drivers license for 20k and to wait for hours just to get one. If cops are on you or anything and your car crash and they get close and you mange to escape in another car you get banned, this is what happened to me on lame Godfather server. So too much RP can kill a server, Argonath RP is perfect.  few things need to be fixed, such as the timeouts if possible and more animations would be nice for the RP. If devs would fix the Drug scripts and fix the building scripts so we enter in a few seconds it would be nice as well.

 Argonath is a nice community and nice server, that is why I have been here since March. Some players can be dicks though, some admins as well. The main Admins are great [Rstar] is a great RP clan . Anyways I think I am just bored and had too much coffee so I can't stop typing.

 Tips for RP

 1. Look at other player skin to know if you met them before and also your own.

 2. If you get in a car crash try to RP it.

 3. Get shot, try to RP it, but if in gun fight I would just continue to fire and then RP if you got shot. Like do /me screams and needs medical attention.

 4. If you do die, your charater can't remember it and always RP that you didn't die you were in the hospital, if you are in RP mode and say ah I was killed then how are you there? Are you a ghost? Lool

 5. Respect the police, help the noob cops out.

 6. Try not to always use the radar, because when I get away from cops they always find me and IDK how.

 Anyways good night

[Fatboy_Rob]

Yea, recently ive been playing waith radar off, but Hell, when i was chasing you in the desert, i seen someone poke their head out over the cliff, and thats why i seen you guys, i didnt have radar on the whole time.

:ps: i like the new drug system. alot more RP can be implemented.

-Hayden

[ODSTHelljumper89]

 Hayden let me just say.. how can RP be put to use when no one can acquire the drugs by going to the spawns? I swear I only got the weed field to work once in the entire day of trying and the Heroin never did work..
