What is the definition "quality roleplay"?

[Richard.]

I do not get how 1 or 2 screaming lines can be enough excuse to start a deathmatch party and a war field.

Good point, I don't understand how these 2 screaming lines would give hydra a green light to start firing rockets at people...

What? They shot at us before we had the time to type anything. I don't see how driving up to a field would give a hydra the green light to fire rockets at us.

Only shoot when provoked, right? We did see the hydra as provocation but not on it's own a reason to shoot as it was a rulebreaker gone mad, than we said the two lines.. than we waited.. than you shot at us.. than we waited for you to run down hill, than we started shooting.


Altho I would rather see a place and time where that situation doesn't turn in a shootout but as long as we have rambo cops who think they can take half the server on with a deagle that can't happen. And that goes both ways, as long as we have 5 criminals who think they can take on the whole SAPD we won't achieve actual RP.

Being fearless and not knowing how to RP fear is a meme at this point. If as a criminal I go try and rob someone with a gun point blank they either /q or pull out a gun. Roleplay is clearly not top priority for some.

So that's what "quality roleplay" is to me, knowing your characters boundaries, knowing when to stop, knowing that he isn't in a world where he dies and respawns, attempting to live through it's eyes and roleplay fear for gods sake.

Fuck y'all with your fucking negative attitude. Meh even admins spreading shitty attitude, how do you expect from players themselves to react.
I've never made a suggestion and people commented on it without spreading provocative comments, now this is what Argonath is known for, fucking douchebags.
Whoever says " Go back to LSRP ", don't give me that shit, i don't need your fucking suggestion, keep it for your sorry ass. Y'all got roasted by a fucking suggestion, some s/f type niggas fml.
Fucking convince me why you love bunnyhoping and why you wanna keep it going in the server.

If it's a valid suggestion you want to post, post a topic in the ideas board and get feedback on it.

Like I said earlier mate. This isn't a "do we like bunnyhopping?" topic. Post a new topic, server management will be able to see it much more easily. Talking about it here just sounds like you're complaining about it.

[Haythem]

Wanna bet that if I post a thread, it won't last much as soon as a forum moderator shows up, and he'll give me the same crappy shit " suggested before, it won't get changed, locked ".

If that's truly what you believe, that banning bunnyhopping is a rule will never be applied, then pause, take a deep breath, and move on mate... no point complaining about it in that case.

Forum moderators have been largely absent in the SA:MP section compared to a few years back. The community and moderators, while generally more open-minded to new ideas even if they've been suggested/shot down before, are also more accepting of shitting on one another. I mean, just take a look at this beautiful thread here.

It's interesting to see the number of different and occasionally conflicting perspectives here in Argonath.

So that's what "quality roleplay" is to me, knowing your characters boundaries, knowing when to stop, knowing that he isn't in a world where he dies and respawns, attempting to live through it's eyes and roleplay fear for gods sake.

The beauty of Argonath is that here you are given to be creative and break the fourth wall if so desired. How you choose to use or restrict the amount of freedom you are given is up to you.
Some people are simply unable to vicariously experience fear with their imagination during a fictional situation. To these people, I recommend reading more books. But to those interacting with those not roleplaying fear, don't let it ruin your day. For every god damn bunny-hoppin'metagamin'/powergamin'/play-to-win/uncreative/you name it son of a bitch out there there's at least 1 player around here that you will enjoy roleplaying with, even if they don't follow the same self-imposed rules as you. Meeting them can either be a matter of chance, or simply reaching out.


Regarding bunny hopping, I think that would be incredibly difficult for admins to enforce. Maybe we should create a division in the admin team specifically dedicated to catching bunnyhoppers

Im going to give my personal opinion about this bunnyhopping discussion.
I made a little rule for myself when being chased on foot , and it looks like it works:

As long as I dont bunnyhop magically the people who chase me dont do it either.
When I start bunnyhopping, they do it too , and vica versa.

Why should every little thing be implemented in the rules when you can ask people to use their common sense.

[eymas]

There will not be a rule forbidding the use of bunnyhopping.

Completely agree. Removing bunnyhop altogether would cause for tedious endeavours while being alone and trying to get to a fucking car. Enforcing bunny hop to be disabled at all times wouldn't increase RP and would just cause players to be annoyed in the scenario I described. It should just be frowned upon during RP engagements but this rule will just absolutely suck when one is stranded in the middle of nowhere. It will also cause admins to work to an unrealistically harder standard.

[Arslan]

I know your pain, especially when somebody doesn't RP injuries or just refuses to give up when they're obviously fucked.

Like this:


To his credit, he did finally RP injuries after getting shot by a sniper about two or three times.

To be fair I thought I did well according to general standard on the server at the time. And no one tried to take a weed field. You wanna make bullshit out of everything, sure, go ahead. Last I remember you don't RP shit even when getting sprayed with M4. Not to mention, I was miles away, no one could've spotted me, you and your DM squad came based on blips which you cry about the most as of recent but I don't hold that against you since both sides use them. Show the part where you displayed your part of the RP "FREEZE or we M4 & sniper". Not exactly RP.

I wasn't stupid enough to go in and tell you to stop what you were doing, so instead of lying change your statement since no one tried to take the weed field, it was surveillance from a very large distance. Then the nitro came on, M4s came out and boom, there goes the RP.

Not to mention the admin with you had to PM me to exactly explain what the fuck you were doing because the RP was so awesome. Talk about insecurity.

At least now I know not gonna bother with anything with you since you clearly you still have a stick up your ass and can't live without causing some sort of shit even if you "win". Next time I'll just pull one like you and your boys and just M4 you until I die.

[BlueFox]

I will proudly take advantage of blips until they are removed if it ever happens.

Who doesn't?
 

[eymas]

Blips will never be removed either.

It's sad to think that we have to remove everything related to combat/abuse if we were to revert argonath back to a roleplay server. 
What instead should happen is that players allow the opportunity to roleplay without instantly feeling they'd get shot every second of interaction, that tensity is what causes most of the feud most of the time. I think so, at least.
