And I tought this was common knowledge.

Well because if he chooses to pick fail then he will have a world of options of what could happen.
The other side is free to decide what ever he wants thats why we gave him options, you can't try to act on someone without either forcing him into doing so or giving him options to decide, it is all matter of perspective.
If you still think that using this technique is forcing RP I would love to hear whats your suggestions for the perfect roleplay scenes.

The idea behind S/F is correct in regards to accepting loss, but I would still discourage its use. It's a back-and-forth battle of "yes" and "no" and feels very robotic and forced. Roleplay is not that. It is more abstract like art and less of an exact science. What I would describe as a perfect roleplay scene is when two or more players interact in harmony, completely detached from any possible outcome whether it be a loss or a victory. It's not a contest. Everything your character goes through gives him depth and promotes his character development, and if you take that to heart you won't be needing to worry about these little details.

Well sadly each side in a roleplay pictures it his own way... for an example when an artist think of something and paint it and the picture turns out to be different than what he thought it would look like he might get upset...
so for matter of saftey always nice to use S/F to know where you standing at and to know if there is a need to change the picture or the end of the RP you're trying to achieve...
Basic and beautifull

Some people must grow up, don't reply if your comment only is negative and bring other people down... Thanks

Those that criticize topics like these are generally those that refuse to follow change and those that are unable to adapt.

 Only question I've got is where were you all people a year or two ago when a bunch of server factions were pushing toward this level of Roleplay? Most of the people kept moaning about Argonath being "light roleplay" and not wanting to go a bit more into Roleplay...There were enough people trying to get Argonath's RP on the level that's being aimed at right now...Most of them got kicked out of the community...

What changed?

[Leon.]

I'm all about character development. I don't have my avatar/sig as they are just because I thought they'd look cool!

[Devin]

What changed?

Less fucks are now given about "limitations" and old habits that kept the server pointed in a single direction for all of these years to put it in simple terms.

Yeah. Word.

Please guys.

No one appointed anyone of anything, it's called initiative and if initiative is what it takes to keep this community going down the path we are traveling on, I have no problem with it.

[Kaze]

This community has been infested with kids in the last couple of years (2011 onwards), they don't have the same mindset as us. We will forever have niggas pulling AK's from their ass when they have 3 guns pointed at them.

Still admire how you didn't give up to try and change how shit works here.

Nice topics and all but none of this is ever gonna happen, many of us have been around here long enough to realize that.

I only saw you complaining last time you were in-game. The things stated in this topic actually happen, you're just too busy criticizing to be in the right side of Argonath's roleplay.
