What's Important For You During Your Roleplay

[9r2e5i3k]

Things that increase roleplay:

• Be creative - repeated situations get uber-boring (eg. kidnappings)
• Use OOC - use PM's and global chat to organize the roleplay - one of the reasons why it's there
• Avoid attacking of other players - Try to avoid shooting, especially in cop work.
• Don't close yourself in isolated groups - Instead, be open to other players. Especially new ones, so you can teach them how to roleplay.
• Use common sense [directed at z0mg RPers] - If someone types '/L lol' without putting it in double brackets (who made up that '((' '))' standard btw?!), it's pretty obvious that he doesn't say it.

Things that IMHO are non-realistic, but don't have much to do with roleplay:

• Bunnyhopping - totally not realistic, but doesn't really have anything with roleplay
• Pulling a gun "out of your ass" - does it look better when you add '/me...' and STILL pull it out from your ass?
• Internet talk - saying "wtf", "lol", etc. What does it have to do with roleplay/nonRP ?

Things that are considered as RP-enhancing, though they're not:

• Ingame nicks [Firstname_Lastname] - If you're such a RPer, why don't you RP your name? I use =AV=Grzesiek as my nick, but IC I introduce myself as my character name. And if someone is 'z0mg metagaming' because he calls you by your nick (which is the same as your character name), it's your fault and not his.
  Ingame nicks are to recognize players, not characters.

These might be updated later.

Is Argonath a game or a school where you can't do anything wrong and be hated IF you do?

Everyone is almost complaining that it was better in the early argonath times,

Maybe rewind yourself to that time, when you accepted every style of roleplay...

I've pretty much got an answer for all those points above.

Now bunnyhoping is non-rp if you do it in a RP situation.

 For example: You're being chased my a cop. You're car is just about to blow and you pull the doorhandle and swiftly jump out of the car. The cops pull over (hopefully not driving them over, because that's also non-rp. A cop wouldn't ever drive over the criminal to make them arrested, it's a risk to kill the suspect and/or give them serious wounds) and start chasing the suspect. Suddenly the suspect goes bunny and starts jumping with his feet first without getting tired, where's the RP? Let's face it, bunnyjumping is not realistic. Starting to bunnyjump is basically just lame. It's powergame, non-rp and ruins the situation for the cop who might actually try to RP a foot-chase, as he'll be forced to either bunnyjump himself, get his car or just continue running after him as you would do in real-life.

For the part where you pull your gun out your ass is basically just what RP is. Imagination. You do a me command, for example: /me reaches for his waistband quickly and pulls out his gun. You might see this as some kind of pulling your gun out of your ass still, but as the /me command basically says, you pull it out of your waistband. That's it, you pull it out of your waistband. Imagination. It's the same as drinking imaginary drinks at the bar, or receiving a ticket where you've been pulled over.

Internet talk such as WTF or LOL is just basically ridiculous if you use it in an RP situation. Now, some peoples arguments for this kind of saying is, "Hey! I use WTF and LOL irl myself too!" question is though, would your fat mafia asshole character really say "LOL" or "WTF" once they speak to their men above? Do the cheacheachea breda rasta'clot guy from willowfield say L-O-L in character? No, I don't think so. Now, maybe you RP some internet geek or something, I guess it's okay if you do it then. Besides, LOL is nothing you say. "To" lol is when you laugh out loud. So, saying /l lol just isn't right, as you don't say that you laugh out loud. You do it. /me laughs out loud.

IMHO.

I don't know for how long you've been participating in the Argonath community, but I doubt it've been for very long, or you've just been very ignorant about the Argonaths past. Argonath was basically JUST as whiny, JUST as bitching as it is now. People maybe want to remember the old times as the golden age or something, it wasn't. I remember people whining around about gangwars, people whining about admins and people jacking their cars, JUST as much as before.

Everything was OK till someone invented that "limited roleplay" that Im in a battlefield fighting DMers (Not gonna mention names ...) who are bunnyhopping and using sawnoffs to kill, Im not gonna do /me wawawa takes gun out of his pocket wa wawa... Im dead before I could finish the sentence..

I have nothing against dual weapons, but I do against sawnoffs, they should be removed. Uzis and tecs could stay as a passenger drive-by weapons...


Im not gonna run if im in the middle of nowhere where no cars are around.. I rather would use bunny-hops.
Yes, I support this "Being a hero" part. You should really give up if you are ALONE with 2 guys pointing a gun on your head....
Just my options..
Old times was good, no (()), Nobody didnt even get that idea to use (()).. I usually mix ooc/ic together cause I dont like using (()), If a person is really-really dumby, I will use (()) for him/her... Whats the matter using "lol" or "wtf" or "lolwut", ppls are using this in real-life, too...

We aren't "The Godfather" server.. We dont need to use Firstname_Lastname as you now insulted some gangs/clans that uses [tag] or just RanDomNaMe123....

Edit: While I was typing, new posts got posted, so, Im not gonna modify my post..

[Wayne]

that Im in a battlefield fighting DMers (Not gonna mention names ...)

You are a Rper that fight against DMers? Your a Dmer then,
Don't go to same level of a DMer, report them to administration.

Whats the matter using "lol" or "wtf" or "lolwut", ppls are using this in real-life, too...

Not everyone is a internet geek outside.
lol, wtf, lolwhut is internet language,
Would be worse saying that IRL, they may think that your a Internet Geek

"We?" I thought that was "Yourself" or "I"
Errm, Spamming offtopic stuff on topics is very useless...
More useless when used with caps or giant letters
