Why is it that SA:MP players are srs bussnies?

[Aragorn]

A huge amount of players don't share with you that thought. :help:

I do not care... Read above...

[Aksel]

I do not care.... We were making Argonath with OUR VISION and people liked it... your vision of Argonath (with the huge amount of ZOMG roleplayers) just shitted Argonath to the cheap moaning community where every kid is crying about everything... And where everyone is sure that roleplay depends on the chat system and not on the brains' activity and level of IQ of players themselves...

So technically you're calling me dumb?

Yesterday, I came across this whilst being a freecop:

"This is a Roleplay server. Roleplay is acting like real life"

wROOOOOOOOOOONg.

Roleplay is about being imaginative, fun and (a little bit) feasible - like movies and films. SA is nothing like Real Life, the whole idea is that it is a parody of real life and more exciting.

[Pandalink]

I'd post in this thread, but I have to go and lead an assault with my Yakuza IRL.



Oh, wait.

Roleplay is just real life without all the.. realness.
And yes, realness is a bad thing.

[Gandalf]

I've seen new players roleplay better than some of our regulars.
I can easy rate my roleplay good, since I am one of the small amount who use brackets.

First step is probably to remove the /p.

Using brackets is showing that you have no ability to RP and is for sure not a sign for good RP. In fact if you are not able to make difference between IC and OOC you have a lot to learn about RP.

Good RP is being able to react to any situation in a way like you would react on the street, and trying to make it fun for all involved.

((top RP = uze theez)) - forget about it.
I know that many regular players have been confused by me at times when I come to them as president and tell them to do something in their organization. It is a mix of RP and real matters, and only good RPers will understand this.

True. People often get confused with the made up OOC/IC inner rule of the so-called "veterans". Even I was infected and have been using this (()) thing for some months until I realised what role-play can actually be.

[Pandalink]

I try to never use (()) tags unless I know I'm dealing with an idiot and can't be bothered to explain.

[Klaus]

Never seen the point of those.

Someone please give Jcstodds an award to his forum profile.

Me neither. Actually I feel like the person using them when talking to me is making an idiot out of me, like I couldn't determine if something's directed to the player (me) or the character (the pixels in the game).

About the part, react on the streets....
I never saw someone saying to me:

"Erhm wait, this is not me just out of my person, you shouldnt say ...blabla"

Then I suggest you to stay on Argonath and don't even log on a roleplay server.

Brackets doesn't automatically equal good roleplayer.

Granted, I used the brackets myself most of the time when I used roleplay but when I'm roleplaying with my friends I use smileys, terms like 'lolwut' and OOC stuff.

And what do you think Argonath is?

Better you stay out of Argonath and go to your "really realistic real-life" servers with rules that exclude each other, which I'm not even going to connect to.

Good that you understand my statement.

[JDC]

To Wash and everyone who thinks that "JDC is jealous of Carhartt because he is the inferior RPer", get a brain surgery.

You all focus on "ZOMG-TOP-RP" while forgetting that this is Argonath, where you insert your demented little rules with the intent of slowly turning Argonath into an RLRPG Server.

Nowhere in my posts did I say "forsake RP completely". RP is only second priority on the server, the first is to have fun rather than follow 1000000 bullshit rules and regulations made up by the people who want Argonath to change from the free community that it is into some RLRPG HARDCORE OMG OLOLOL Server.

As I said above, RP is only second in priority to having fun. If you came here just to show your RP skills, how you are the OMG-LEET RPER guy, how for a "THIS UNNECESSARY COMMAND WILL MAKE YOU MORE RP" cause you are, how good you are at using vagina tag (( )) brackets and et cetera, rather than have fun the way Argonath's developers intended for all players to have fun and form friendship on their servers, then as RON said those people are not welcome here.

And yeah, maybe I am an extremist... if so, then I am the direct opposite of those people who think adding IC / OOC bull shits, unnecessary commands, removing /p chat and et cetera will make Argonath a better place.

As I said when I used to kick "LEETRP Moaners" before, "If you don't like it then leave".


As for learning to defend from DMers...

To those Admins who kick for "DMing a DMer"... remember that killing is allowed in self-defense. "DMing a DMer" should only be applied when the DMed person repeatedly hunts down the DMer on purpose with the intent of revenge. Other than that, let them defend themselves the way we did on MTA:VC.
