Character Development / Roleplay in General

As long as I get percentage.
 
One another serious note, I like I said I'm not against the changes. I'm just not too fond of the way Que's been going around acting like he's the defination of RolePlay.

Did you ever had a roleplay situation with him/us? Come by sometime and see for yourself I would say .

Aww is someone jealous?
I haven't seen you do anything to try and encourage others to roleplay.... Oh wait shiiit aren't you the guy who robbed every trucker and dm'ed them?

I have no idea why you carry hate against Que but unless you start working for the better, sit your old ass down and take your denture out because it's better if you stop talking bullshit.

He did came by our hood saying: "Who are you guys......"
I bet that's the best entry of Argonath's history.

I won't post more of these topics, though. I will let "anyone else" handle it. People seem to get offended.
You can lock this up and throw it in the bin if you want to, mod.

You don't have to stop making these topics. It actually encourages ALOT of players to start roleplaying. However there are some who have nothing to do besides spread negativism. What you are doing is right and i'm in full support!
Cheers mate!

I'm glad we're finally walking in the right way when it comes to roleplay. Just wondering why it took so long and so many topics like these.

This community has been infested with kids in the last couple of years (2011 onwards)

sure, before that it was entirely mature adults

I've started to feel the change that Que is dedicating his soul into and it's fantastic and much funner! I've been roleplaying the last day as police officer and it's has been a fantastic journey, a lot of crazy maniacs and thugs on the street that you going to make the best out off!

Que, don't give up. Some people will always bring you down but that's a part of the change! Some will resist some will follow you!

Keep the topics coming, keep the change come!

We can do it together!

Lock this topic, please.

After they sticky this:

Hey guys,

The last couple of days, I've been roleplaying for a few hours, interacting with one another and been noticing a very basic line of how you make your own character in game. Most of the ones I've been roleplaying with is pretty much what everyone is like when they are being that stereotypical gang banger, mobster or w.e. you are roleplaying as. For me - it's important to rely on the ones I roleplay with and against to be as creative as possible. To make yourself stand out, you need to be willing to do something out of the box, touch the forbidden fruit and pretty much develop within your own type of roleplay. No matter if you want to go through the police department, the rank structure of a street gang or become a Cofiliano Gvardia, every development process in game is important, it's about then you will finally realise you got something to lose once things are getting a little messy. This is also probably the reason why all new groups keep closing after a few weeks, because there's no idea of how the formation of their future will look like. You can be "I WANT TO BE A STREET GANG", but to be a proper street gang, you need to know what it takes to win and lose, to develop and to feel that what you've built up is something that you're proud of.

What makes you stand out from the rest? How do you want your character you are roleplaying as to be?
Argonath isn't really the server (or has not been) where you are totally character based, but it's very important to make sure you are having a clear line of who you're roleplaying as, how you want him/her to be and keep that in mind while you are in a scene or whatnot. Otherwise, stuff will get boring in only a few days. Find yourself.

I want to add that I will keep pushing this character-type of roleplay, character killing, prison roleplay, courts and all related kind of stuff, because it's when you got something to lose things'll start to get real and fun.

It's okay to lose!
Earlier today, we had an incident which is probably the most common and unsatisfying roleplay scenario you can face. It happens a lot.


At this first picture, you can see what's up. The hispanic guy has an AK-47 towards his head and he is standing there, all by himself. What would you do here, if you were not superman? Probably get scared and back off, right? That's realistic and what should've been the case.

This is the result:

Okay.

So what can we say about this? The "I don't have anything to lose"-attitude is obviously something we really need to work with. It's okay to lose. Really. Most of the times, the roleplay is quite fun, even though you do not win a shootout, brawl or whatnot. The most important thing is to have fun and you do not throw a punch at someone aiming with an AK-47. That's like an unwritten rule. It doesn't make any sense to do otherwise and it makes you look like a fool.

You can use player names in /me!
Another thing that I've noticed a few times is that people are writing "/me looks at the man in front", "/me tackles the man". You can write a player's name in the /me's. The me's are only describing your actions and it's not included in the roleplay as in the chat. Which means that is totally okay to type "/me tackles Gandalf". It only describes who you are doing it against. "A man/the man" can be quite confusing if there's a few players around.

With this said, I will keep pushing for the new era and for upcoming changes and I will try to contribute as much as possible to make things better. Tips like these are included.

There's no need to, man. I love you and all, but let's just lock this topic up.

It's not about what Tevin wrote, don't get me wrong here. Of course this negative attitude is giving me headache. I would lie if I say anything else.
But I can't be arsed to take shit when I'm only trying to make a change out of something that has been rock bottom.

It's not that important to me. I'm here for the fun. Nothing else.
If it's not fun anymore I rather do something else.

Na, he did not. We just don't think alike. I'm sure he and his fellow negative comrades will keep Argonath they way it has always been.
