PM is RP if YOU MAKE it RP

[Leonardo]

I still find it funny that since i joined this community in 2008 and stopped playing in like, 2012, just dropping by occasionally nowadays, i seem such things still being discussed. What is the problem of using the PM for roleplay purposes as an SMS resource, a radio or something like that if both parts agree? Considering i can not impose my will on other players as that would be certainly considered as "forced roleplay" which is absolutely correct.

Oh yeah. Last time i told someone not to use PM for "wanna buy weed?" he said he does not care at all. Fun fact, he was a newbie, we teach them wrong from start.

Why is that wrong? The community provides all script resources for the chat such as CB, phone and local chats, but is there something in the rules that forbids players from using PM also as a roleplay method? I am not saying that i use PM for roleplaying, but i just find this discussion senseless as i do not know why do people really care about how other people are roleplaying.

Why not use /em (((((OOC: hurr durr)))))

Because it's not recognized as legitimate in Argonath?

Punish those using PM as a RP mean ( except the instances of whisper ) by disabling their PM for minimum 2 days.

What about forum PM? Let's be consistent and apply the same 'rules' to those.

For example a forum PM about drug business RP.

Yes, this could work about that. Forums are seen as "websites" in court so kinda, yea..

Yeah so why can't people use PM to RP?

pls keep some of the argonath freedom intact

Come on, folks; i just would like to know, sincerely, why do you care so much about how other people roleplay, be it using PM or any other shit. I do not give a plain shit, really. It's all about YOUR part in the play, if you want to use the scripted communication methods, go ahead, but if someone else wants to use another type of chat (even if it's not really destinated for that purpose), i simply go along.

I have seen in this thread replies asking for punishiments for people who does not roleplays in a certain way - I mean, guys, this is exactly the opposite Argonath has always followed.

we could make our own system like
     a)  not in roleplay = nirp
     b)  in roleplay = irp

[Mikal]

Hurp Durp
Nirp Irp

I like.

We never intended PM to be used in ANY way for RP purposes.

Then clarify that it shouldn't be used for RP. Don't allow it just because some people doesn't knows what a "private message" means.

/ignore ID and they won't be able to PM you until you /unignore them.
