The "Do-Nothings"

[Tiny]

Check this quote from me on another topic, it was supported by several people and I think it's the best solution.

Argonath's RP will stop "dying" when we all stop complain about it. Nothing is done by everyone; Have a look around you. Is everyone behaving properly? No.

Instead of writing topics use your imagination and start roleplays, the ones who really RP will follow, the others will soon or late change or leave the server. I'm one of the people who used to complain about people who don't RP, but the solution is ignorance. You ignore the ones that are here only to troll, and RP with people you like. You'll at least have less things to complain about, as your environment will be full of things you like doing when you're playing.

If there is no complains, I'll think the community is dead, because as long as I have been playing here, there has always been some kind of moaning / complaining 

Though I think the devs does a good job, but maybe a bit slow. Though we cannot blame them for being busy!

Guys maybe if we'd create a little bit bigger overall roleplay scenario for some general guidance it would help move things along. Maybe have a topic as well, where we all post what has been done since the start of the scenario.
For example: the Flint County Liberation Front declared, Flint County  Independent from the State of San Andreas. As las Venturas casinos restaurants are heavily dependant on Flint County potato crops the Las Venturas city declared that it will keep it's border open with flint county as long as the potatos keep coming. In exchange Las Venturas would keep the Farmers and Truckers who deliver the goods safe inside the city....

Now all the players would pick some role in this scenario. Are you a farmer under the Svensson, or the delivery man how would you help the cause of flint countys independance? Maybe you're a Police Officer in LS always patrolling on the border to see that no potatos would reach Las Venturas. maybe you would like to be a LVs mayor- How would you keep the truckers and farmers safe inside LV? Would you make a deal with the Mafia in SF for protection?

During the day we roleplay and when we are done we would update the topic and see where the collective story telling has gotten us. I don't know, it's just an idea.

Do you really think that people who RP will come to that topic and post what he did?
It's a damn roleplay server, everyone sould be here to RP. No need for topics.

I've been daily logging into the game, in intention to RP. I totally agree with you, Leon. Some people just don't RP if a players offer him to. Argonath "RPG" it's a RP server, but you're not forced to RP. Good logic. 

Count me in.

I think you really don't get the point of the community here or what it stands for. Mostly this is a community whose members enjoy role playing, not that we do it at all time when we are in-game.

Also no one is forcing you to participate in it. If you like to go and just randomly rob and kidnap people after which you take a whole other role and just watch out for speeders on the streets of San Andreas go ahead, have fun.

I agree that would update people on the RP scenario, since not everyone can be there when you're roleplaying

You didn't really explain "the point of the community", which you claimed I don't get, by just saying something I already know and has nothing to do with what I stated.  If you think that's all I'm doing, then have fun in your own world, where you do know me.

I only said that there's no need to post what you RPed, there's no point, really.

As far as the idea goes then the idea to post what you RPd according to that scenario is to let everyone know where the story progresses for example if someone is away for a week but still wants to participate from that moment on, how does he know what deals have been made, new alliances and enemies, new people etc. Anything that people role play that wouldn't be part of that story yeah don't need to be told.

Actually yeah, after thinking again, It would be a nice idea since It's optional for someone to do it.

Don't like it? Leave.

Argonath has enough opportunities for everyone, not the community's fault you cannot find Roleplay. Create it, it's not hard.

I'm 80% sure this post is satirical

For me, roleplay is something that is creative, spontaneous, and self-produced.

Roleplay is creative because you (obviously) create a role. You could be a bored university student in real life, but a rich Mafia Don or Police Chief in the game. You use your imagination to make your character come to life, and you are the author of his/her life story. When stepping into the shoes of your character, you become an actor.

It is spontaneous, as the best details are usually thought up on the spot, or as the roleplay goes along. Not to mention that one minute, you can be an ice cream vendor, and the next, a powerful politician. You can change characters to suit how you need to play, anytime. Not to mention that making topics for, or going up to people and asking them to roleplay, hardly compare in overall quality to when you just go up to someone and the roleplay happens.

Most importantly, it is self-produced; roleplay starts with YOU. Do not expect others to roleplay or wait for them to start, but do it yourself. Only when most of us adapt this mindset will the overall roleplay on the server start to get much better.
