[Serifis]

Don't wait for others to RP, start one yourself, no matter how small it would be.

This should be the topic's title!

Freecops should not be allowed to return after death. If they're dead in a situation RPly, they shouldn't be allowed to return, just like criminals.

[psyron]

dont make it a heavy rp server, there are many. i have always loved the freedom in argonath.

No one said anything for 'heavy rp' myself either enjoy the freedom of Argonath, but when
it comes in roleplay there should be implemented some kind of rules that secure atleast the basic roleplay.

(Don't forget that beside the freeroam Argonath advertised as a roleplay server either.)

Yeah, this is about light roleplay. Light roleplay rules.

[Norrage]

In my opinion basic roleplay rules should indeed be added;
- Ignoring roleplay is not allowed.
- Avoiding roleplay is not allowed.
- Need to log off, find a roleplay way or do not engage anyways.

Right now it isn't roleplay, it's freeroam with 20% roleplay.

At this point 75% of the voters want light roleplay rules. The above quoted rules could be one of the first steps toward this. Anyone objects to these rules or has an addition or agrees?

[superh2o]

Those are fine for a first step, tho i would like to add use common sense no need for admins to make a definition of every situation.

Tho use of poor rp should count as avoiding rp, for some time so we all see where we are.

[jNewtonik]

Punishment system could be changed little bit either, like for those who tend to keep avoiding
small rules (like car ramming, DM, random shooting etc) instead of constant warn's that usualy lead to kick/ban,

after some warns there should be the option to jail those rulebrakes for a small amount of time (about 10, 15minutes usualy)
depends on each case till they accept to follow the town rules and to rejoin back to the community,  (this will be used only for rulebrake cases and not for the rp's, let's call it community jails )

[beshoopaula]

no  please forcing rp on players aint good , we may encourage rp by rewards from admins or from script etc
but forcing rp on players aint the point as many players dont have much time for playing beside studying and irl issues .
and i support roleplaying <3

What?

- It won't be forcing roleplay, that is still a rule aswell.
- Encourage RP by rewards = only helping the grinding stuff.
- What does RP rules have to do with players not having much time?

[Semirak]

Summary :
We got 2 type of players , heavy roleplayers and grinders that love to roleplay only sometimes
Any changes to the server may discourage the one type.
 edit My opinion is to stay how we now are and respect the Argonath vision

Thats the main issue in IVMP.

If someone starts a roleplay scenario just for you to tell him "I'm busy" and then claim he cannot force roleplay by rules (which is a rule misunderstood by people, including admins since a very long time ago); then of coruse that player is not going to roleplay ever again, or would rather quit the server because it's really not fun to just drive around. There are better games where you can just drive around and own cars, and GTA Online is one of those and trust me thats a better place to show off your stuff than Argonath.

Administration cannot force people to roleplay, the only step in my opinion to get roleplay standards to a better point is to encourage it; not by punishing people, but by explaining the rules better to them and by ending the excuses of being busy and that roleplay cannot be forced, because forcing roleplay is a whole another topic.
