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

[Danny_Leo]

Good. I've been waiting for this for so many years. It's a role play server, sure maybe it isn't heavy or strict realism role play but many players since birth of Argonath placed money farming and endless shootouts in front of inovative role play scenarios and actual interaction with other players.

Isn't this a little excessive? Whatever happened to the "No forcing RP" rule?

[Richard.]

Damn...I will have hard time explaining what RP is if I manage to get myself banned

People always misunderstood "forcing RP", if you're on a RP server and someone starts RP with you then you're oblidged to RP back, "forcing RP" is when the other player gives you no chance of doing anything back like:

>Guy approaches victim
>Guy does instantly /me grabs the man by the throat and tosses him inside a super mega tight safe making it impossible for the man to move.

That's forced RP.

Ok, but that still begs the question of is this not too excessive? This rule is too vaguely explained and with a plethora of implications. What if I login just to fly around in a plane for a bit? If someone says Hi to me through RP and I don't notice it, am I subject to being banned and shunned as the worst thing imaginable?

Exactly. People started using "forcing rp" to avoid situations they do not like. Or simply to avoid RP because they aren't even interested in one.

The way the rule is explained right now, it is directly contradicting the No Forcing RP rule.

If people can't comprehend what "No forcing roleplay" means I really do feel afraid for them further on in life.
It means one may not force a player into a situation where they can't do anything, essentially like a player doing the following;

* Devin takes your wallet with all of your money

And then expects you to give them everything you have.

No one is saying you have to roleplay or fuck off but if there's a roleplay opportunity take it and run with it. Don't just ignore it or fuck around while someone tries to interact with you.

Thank you!

I don't get why people think this means that you have to have srsbsns RP. It just means to be sensible and somewhat convincing. There was previously a message on log-in that said something along the lines of "Remain within reality's realms". I feel like that should be added back.

[Thomas R]

Glad you're taking steps into the right direction.

[Hwaldar]

Well why can't the rule be properly explained then? Leaving room for uncertainty is not helping anyone here, the rules have to be crystal clear.

The "in anyway ignoring a plausible roleplay scenario will render an immediate ban" implies that anything could be considered a bannable offence under the pretense of ignoring roleplay. This is not clear cut explanation of how the rule is supposed to work. A detailed revision is necessary to clear up any and all mystery.

Since when was the asshole attitude upheld as a proper way of interacting with people when they simply ask a question?

[Pizza4_Games]

I think we should have atleast a 60 minute admin jail, If repeated, other punishments can be given. That's just my idea, what do you guys think?

[Richard.]

I like that, so now certain people can't sit in their car and ignore the 10 men aiming guns at them and wait to be blown up

Then go fly a fucking plane on paruni. I don't see why someone who didn't join in-game for a month is bitching right now.
