What is Roleplay on Argonath?

[Iceboy]

Yea but you wouldn't have a bunch of friends that you have known for several years, in that shop. Can't be compared, specially after all the roles I've had on Argonath.

[Matthew_Cipricla]

If the person RPing the shop teller gives you crap, couldnt he be RPing it? RP just doenst mean nice little people talking to you in a very friendley way.

[Iceboy]

Wtf??

Sorry but your post makes no sense to me at all Matthew, maybe it's me lacking English skills?

i agree with "Don't like it? Leave". As if people don't like Argonath not being a RL RP server - they should leave and go play on a RL RP server...simple as that , and it causes no arguments or problems within the community.

This is something i don't get. This is GTA, there's no Real Life.
What's the difference between a so called: "Real Life Role play server" and Argo?
Is it the Zombie events who makes the difference or what? Or guys who basicly can't use /me for it's reason? Who use it for /me farts x0rhax00r or /me is a crocodile.

Argonath should be roleplay, ROLEPLAY, Not event-quiz-fart-zuperz0r-jumparoundandgetsuspected-copsandrobbers-server.
Events are fine, once and a while but not 10 each day, quiz are OKEY once and a while but not 10 each day.
Cops are fine, but not when 56 of 87 are cops.

I act "Real Life" on argo, and have always done. Alot of the players are acting real life. But you don't get our point i think.

When i first came here i thought the mainpoint of this server was rp, and i truelly believed that everyone had that purpose.
But now i realise, it's just me & some more who thinks like that. Even admins thinks this is a "fun" server and a "entertainment" server..


I've tried to many things but it end up dead in a few weeks.
Like now, i got my drug company.. who are buying from me? Of course, the "hardcore rpers" like you're calling them. None of the rest does it.
I tried to sell Iphones once, only Pancher and Smokes Solonik came.
I tried one more time, NO ONE came.
I made several gangs with hustle and so, they always end up dead 'cause there's not many who are rping with us.
I tried to be a mechanic, like 5-6 came on a whole day.
Carhartt and others have tried to do Crips and Bloods. (Great idea) But what happens, people call them dmers because they arrange brawls.

HOW DO I SUPPOSE TO RP IF NO ONE'S RPING WITH ME?
Whatever i do, no one'll ever spend some time doing something different as they used to do.
No one have the ability or wants to change.

If i go to LSPD, there's like a hangout for 15 players who runs around /me farts & runs over cars and punch random players.
Some days ago, 3 or 4 ARPDs had a fight outside LSPD.. WTF?

All of the one's who are complaining over the rp here have their reasons. They just want to rp, Argonath RPG you know.
All of you, who says i wan't to play for "fun". Have you ever ever tried to rp to the fullest?
To the fullest, i don't mean just a lot of /me cmds, i mean. A whole day rping something & do exactly as that you rping does i normal cases.
Without any metagaming, powergaming, spam "OMOMGOGMGOGMGOG" on the mainchat, 52 players spamming "OMGOMGOMG GANDAAAALF, LET ME LICK YOU ASS SO I CAN BE ADMIN" & so on. (Not all of you does it, you just say hallo because he is who he is. But multiple times i've seen people doing it.)

Have you ever tried to play on a server who actually have roleplay as their first priority?
If you have that, you wouldn't be sitting here saying "i'm just playing for fun" 'cause you can have so f**king fun rping something strict and great.
All of you who are ARPD / FBI or whatever (LIKE THE HALF OF THIS SERVER IF NOT MORE), Try something else sometimes.
When you see it's like 50 Cadets / ARPDS online of 70, do something else. It'll make it easier for the rest to rp and it'll not be so damn annoying being stopped one more time on the way to SF when i got stopped like 10 times already in Los Santos.

Over and out..

It's not about Real Life Roleplay.. Read the things i wrote above again.

RP is not forced upon those who want to just drive around and hang out with their mates. As long as people don't DM, they can do whatever they hell they want.

Of course you can roleplay how ever you want, but the thing is Blacksky, you SHOULD roleplay.
Why did you come here from the begining? TO ROLEPLAY! The server got a name & it got it for a reason.

[Matthew_Cipricla]

Ah my bad iceboy.....I didnt read what blacksky said. My apologies.  I thought he was literally talking about a shop in-game.....

[Iceboy]

Oh okay, then it makes more sense, lol. Got me pretty confused there.

[JayL]

I support the '2 servers' idea IceBoy 

Make 2 commands

/removeblips - Disable all the blips on the map
/mainchatoff - Disable the main chat
 

This one would be awesome aswell... and it's not hard to script it.

[Omri]

But I just think that for us that wants to bring serious RP into Argonath that we fails, as I have seen and read by the posts here I see we aint moving any further from where we started, Agonath is a Fun RPG server and will ALLWAYS be one.

[Iceboy]

Yea, only problem is that I don't find much fun anymore

Most times I'm ingame, I just see the usual arguments, chaos at LSPD with people jumping onto cars and talking random, random racers who ram half the cars on the road and the usual cops after criminals.
It seems most people just care about earning money these days, not fun in my opinion, others may have another opinion.

[CBFasi]

problem is how do you make it so its not all about money??

And ye there is a MAJOR fault as most players seem to playing for the money, all I have to do is threaten a reset of stats and they all moan cos they going to loose property money etc that they spend time earning... 

Many will say I dont care cos I am admin who can have unlimited funds if I want..  I care far more than what you think cos I find it discouraging to find most of the server ist just interested in how much money they have, and if they are going to loose it.

One thought was to add more money to make players see its no big deal, in essence devalue it, its had the opposite affect, there are money grabbing players who like nothing better than to try and get money anyway they can.

Players see the word 'event' and think... am going to get chance to get more money.

We need those that claim they can rp to be more noticed in the server, try and encourage the rest.
Talking about it is not goign to help, try and do something, and do not give up..  If people gave up so easily IRL we would still be in the stone age!

[Iceboy]

Well all I can say is that in 0.2.1, people never needed money, and therefore it also did not mean as much, which gave a lot more fun and also a bigger part of RP.

[ChaNce]

Yeah...good times...if we needed cash, we went on as a cop, kiled a few suspects and got 2500$ for killing him hahaha.

Ontopic: @CBF : Tell me a way, of getting noticed, when we do serious RP ?

[Iceboy]

Yea as well as the fact of casino opened sometimes, ahha. I loved gambling

By the way, me and others really tried to encourage people. We succeeded changing a few people, but no biggie.

Yeah, I also think that we've changed some people. 
I will post some ideas how to improve the server later on ...

[DHR.Mike]

Wel like i see it People just need to start thinking more and stop moning about Rp i see so many people awnsering to the topics and the same people ingame stil do noty Rp

For example Why do Cops Always speed and then i mean always why do the never get a ticket constand speedign is in my Eye's non Rp
Same for Other people on the road raming other cars speedign ramming people and then say oh sorry i went to fast o you see Irl evreyine Driving
liek the are on a Race Track ?? No

And Why does 70% of all playrs Bunny hop to a Car instea of calling a taxi ??? you think taxi are Exspencive the are becosu no one uses them if the get used more and there fee is 5 then the wil earn the same as when the have there fee 50 and the work more less boring and people have to give less for a taxi

Same as Hooker i like to see more hookers and if theer is a Hooker a fee of 500 ?? damm no hooker Irl is that mutch

amd btw people STOP MOANING THAT THE RP IS BAD if you nwat the Rp better start Rping then i see many people Moaning but i see non Rping
so Start to Rp no matter what thats the only way to get Rp back you cnat get Rp back with moaning
