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

You can roleplay in game as long as there is at least one player with you involved in the roleplay, i assume nobody would roleplay alone perhaps i'm wrong however, you don't need 1,2,3,4,....20 players around you to roleplay and to say at the end .. WOW! that was an incredible roleplay because there were 20 players in the roleplay.

Roleplaying with yourself, the same group(s) or persons for two, three years gets boring.

Then you're doing something wrong, or maybe can't dedicate enough time.
Roleplay is which role you want to play , maybe change groups, character?

Regarding all the posts about 7activity:

- It's better to have few players that provide decent fun, than to have a big ammount of players that don't do anything and shit on the concept of RP and on other people's fun. My opinion. I've been having much more fun here these last months than in years playing in the SAMP server. Wonder why's that. And yes, I used to own shamals and big mansions. Live in a trailer now.

Or create more challenge for players so they don't have to keep changing character to stay motivated.

so we're starting to force players into roleplaying in a community whose primary ethos was to not force players into roleplaying?

please guide me to the right path if I am mistaken, for I did not read the 12 pages preceding my own post.

Next time, read before posting.

No one is going to be forced to go along with every roleplay scenario. However, when you are in the server, you are expected to show effort and willingness to RP and interact with other players. If you avoid roleplay at every opportunity you see, you will be punished.

Just as I mentioned before, there never was a rule in Argonath that you can't force people into roleplaying. Shall I remind you that Argonath is a ROLEPLAY server after all?
The reason why some players seem to be in belief that they are in liberty to refuse to roleplay is because of the extremely confusing wording of the "No forced RP" rule. It does not mean that you can refuse to roleplay. The rule means that you can't force the roleplay to come out the way you want it to, in other words, it's the Argonath's wording for "No powergaming".

And either way, nothing that stagnates survives.. A community should keep evolving and changing to be attractive for players. Argonath's been far behind on this aspect for too long.

I agree with the fact that Argonath is a roleplay server, I'm not sure why you would even bring a crystal-clear fact like such into this discussion.. nobody disagrees with it what so fucking ever.

do note, however, that your sentences contradict each other, and very evidently at that.

there is absolutely nothing 'confusing' about the wording of the rule, it is merely incorrect and misrepresenting, and it was this misrepresentation that I was emphasizing on in my previous post.

What if I told you that if we fucking used the fucking taboo words "power gaming" instead we wouldn't be having all these confusions between forced RP and forced to RP?

[Que]

Lol, just use the terms metagaming and powergaming already.

I love u.

Peoples got punished previously for abusing those things mentioned above, so is nothing new I guess, but yeah a official statement for informative purposes mostly for players which lately didn't visit the server would be great, so they might visit server more often.

No one is going to be forced to go along with every roleplay scenario.

No one joins a roleplay server and expects not to roleplay or interact with people.

However, when you are in the server, you are expected to show effort and willingness to RP and interact with other players. If you avoid roleplay at every opportunity you see, you will be punished.

> The rule should not be "Avoiding role-play" because it is not that. It's a case of people not exhausting the opportunities. Stressing the point "Exhausting oppurtunities"

If you avoid roleplay at every opportunity you see, you will be punished.

Hmm.
I feel people will be punished regardless if they just don't want to take part in an obvious kidnapping or robbery attempt yet are constantly looking for opportunities to role-play.

It would be a lot more helpful if we saw set roles that people must adhere to at all times, sufficient guidelines and clear definition instead of interpretation"

[Devin]

Hmm.

If you have something worth saying then do so.
