ignore rp, avoid rp, not rping = worse than hacking, get banned

[Teddy]

Hi,

Since everyone wants to see more roleplay yet some of those same people are the ones seen being absent of contributing actual progress; I decided that not roleplaying, attempting to avoid roleplay, or in anyway ignoring a plausible roleplay scenario will render an immediate ban and will be treated in the unban request section as worse than hacking.

In order to get unbanned for this offense you will need to describe in your own words what is roleplay, what your own personal objective of roleplay is (overall), and most importantly how proper roleplay could've improved the event which led to your ban.

The gloves are coming off. The days of giving a fuck are over. You start doing or you start leaving. Plain and simple buttercups.

I realise I'm risking being called a monkey or troglodyte by some of the really experienced amazing roleplayers with thousands of hours on (some acronym)-RP who frequent this forum but will this rule be more fleshed out and explained in further detail? What constitutes a plausible roleplay scenario?

Example: I am driving and TikkaMasala Luciano lags across and bumps into me. Would we be expected to definitely roleplay a definite car crash providing it was severe enough? Can we just shrug it off if both parties agree, or we expected to stand around and roleplay? If one of us insists would the other person definitely have to roleplay in that instance?

Also, will there be punishments for light-hearted "/me takes out his phone and removes it at a ninety degrees while staring the officer right in the face and noticing the colour of his iris" sort of roleplay or is that still acceptable?

More on the lines that people should show effort in their roleplays, for example we would no longer permit "pull over or die" scenarios.
You can no longer say you don't want to, or have no time to roleplay while you spend hours growing weed/driving about after you said it.

You don't have to roleplay at serious levels or over-detailed nonsense (nobody wants to read those keybinds), but we want to see at least some level of effort put into it. You won't likely be forced to roleplay such crashes either, but if someone does roleplay, then we'd appreciate if you join in on it.

After all, we have to all work together to raise the image to a brighter light.

Glad you're taking steps into the right direction.

How do you "RPily" pull some over? IRL guns would be enough. In most cases, if not all, the one(s) getting chased are the ones who avoid to RP.

Cheers, really appreciate you making this clearer. In an environment where those higher up in the food chain tend to have different interpretations of some rules and (sometimes) worryingly little accountability enforcing them it's great to have this stuff laid out in front of everyone.
