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

[boostboy]

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.

So.. every time you see someone crash their car you gotta check if he/she's okay or get banned?


Yes.. my example is seriously far fetches.. but so is this rule..

I know that some people just go in Argonath to hang out with friends, to take their stressful situation out by just driving around the map and whatnot, will they all end up banned too?

That random new-player who joins the server and doesn't know what to do and asks an explanation how the server works will be banned because he didn't know what command he should use to properly respond to a situation?

Do you see where I'm going with this?

Does that "RP" includes raming cars, jumping on cars like a bunny, punching people.. "HaHa" 24/7 on main chat and local chat... And you blame cops for doing their job with you. Everytime you get suspected, why don't roleplay along but run away and "HaHa" when you die ...  Instead you can start roleplaying along with cops. roleplay resisting or even a investigation. Sometimes that comes out fun. Try it, I suggest it to you.

EDIT: Forgot the new meta, gets on a packer and drivers around doing nothing just wasting fuel. Instead you can go on mechanic duty and start roleplaying with that packer.

Niggah.....i dont roleplay with money hungry cops which using their power for fun. You will see RP in RS5,2 trust me =)

No hate, but this must be the most over-exaggerated post in this topic.

Ofcourse they won't punish a new player for not knowing the codes. He will be told how to properly roleplay with the help of the administrators / players.

If you would like to drive around the map, drive to a place with no players like Bone County or something. Or shake the RP off in a normal way, not like 'I am not online for this'.

car crash rp is too mainstream, just like taking out guns, people who do it should be awarded as most boring roleplayer 2016

I think an over-exaggerated rule deserves the same reaction as a post.

All I meant by said post is my own personal opinion about it, I'm sure people will disagree with me while others will approve.

Edit: Let me clear something - I don't mind to role-play, I don't mind it at all.. but to role-play with every random person you see, every time you're online "just because there's an opportunity" is something I just don't see the reason for..

Nope, that just won't work. Neither would going to empty places, because that could also be construed as "ignoring roleplay" by simply staying away from it.
Hell, just driving can be considered "not roleplaying" or "ignoring plausible roleplay".

The rule is TOO VAGUE. There's too many holes for a rule like this to be held serious. Just now, I've seen two people arguing over one (a cop) not giving a lift to the other (a citizen). THAT could be considered "ignoring plausible roleplay".

Since when is Argonath a strict RP server? IF you guys going change the mode, then remove public chat and use all strict RP functions and shit.

This isn't strict RP. The whole idea is that instead of groups going around popping shots at another group, they actually attempt to interact before a gunfight occurs (if it does)

Strict RP is having to roleplay every little action and every little thing. That's not what is being asked of us, just to take into consideration some form of interaction between the other party.

This is great news!

Hevar, I am beginning to think that your only purpose here is to make stupid people look smart.

Nobody said anything about strict-rp server, all they are asking and trying to achieve is people to actually start roleplaying and somewhat contribute to the server instead of using it as a chat service or constantly freeroaming around Pershing Square, ramming everyone on their way and overall acting like clowns, while totally ignoring everything that goes on around them and the people who are trying to start a roleplay situation with them.

I'm assuming that most people missed the point, maybe the post should be abit more clear but I think Devin gave clarity when he said this.

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.

I see it as this

• When you go up to somone to RP and they start bad girling about I don't want to RP right now or start arguments instead of role playing
• Player does stuff to avoid role play like run and lock their bitch ass inside a house or bizz setting fee
• Plater pretends to be afk or mystiriously have to quit then comes back in less than 5 minutes
• Player getting in a boat or plane and going to the end of the map to avoid interaction until your mates come on
• Player ends up in situation where you have a gun or multile guns pointed at your face where you know you're fucked but somehow ignore that and think its completly fine to just get in a car or nrg and drive off like a pussy without even a single /me line or something in the local chat.

These are the things that rules are targetting

You listed some of the examples quite well.

Forcing people to roleplay with threats of being banned and treated as the worst of the worst is not helping to nurture a roleplay environment, though. No one is saying that acting dumb and ramming people is "roleplay" here, we're saying that this rule enforces extreme prejudice against ANYONE doing ANYTHING that could be considered "not roleplay" or "avoiding roleplay" or "ignoring roleplay". The rule has to be revised and clarified, it leaves too much room for false accusations and unjust punishment. At this moment, the rule is also contradictory to the rule of "No forcing RP", because now any and all RP is FORCED onto everyone from the very moment they login, even if it's something that breaks the rule of "No forcing RP" itself! This is fucking madness!

The other thing that people bring up is misinterpretation. The problem here is that none of our interpretations are valid except for Teddy's or anyone who ranks above his power, since he is the one who DECIDED to enact this rule. HE must revise and clarify the rule and clear up ANY and ALL misinterpretations, so that no one would be misinformed, and thus, unjustly punished.

These are only some of the examples that apply to the rule as it stands right now, but they are NOT THE ONLY examples of situations that could potentially break the rule. Again, a revision and clarification is A MUST to be absolutely certain what EXACTLY the rule tries to prevent. At this moment, it is only one's guess as to what it does!

Please, revise and clarify the rule!

Maybe if you were in the server as much as you write here, you would not have to ask for a clarification.
