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

[Gandalf]

Defending against a DMer is great, however players have already no clue what a DMer is. I have witnessed several players when a newbies comes near and hits them with their fists to draw out their strongest gun and start a full chase to kill the 'DMer'.
Usually while moaning that admins did not react on their report.

[Kessu]

Admins will not react (hopefully) to report of DMer, if you are shooting back, what would be the point of punishing DMer when your shooting him with sawnoff when he hit you with fist?
If you can't fight back as a man (with same kind of powerfull weapon, or even less), go practice DMing to Paruni.
I do fight back to a DMer, if I manage to kill him, I tell him what he did wrong and what not to do again. If he continues, I keep killing him till he leaves, simple.
In VCMP, people do not moan of DMer.. They does not even bother of reporting them, DMer simply gets killed, after that, he will get advises of what server is about, if he likes, he stays, if not, he leaves when seeing he cannot kill anyone on server.

About the "strict-zomg-1337-sup4h-uber-dyyper-mega-hyper-RP" - It's bullshit. VCMP, people do not moan about the money.. Few expections are of course, but most of the players don't..

I've never complained about the money on Argonath...
When I have it, I spend it to help new players or to get armed so i can teach DMers a lesson
At the moment, I have ~25k in SAMP for selling my house... It doesn't matter to me if I have money or not..

Aragorn's post explained all this in a nutshell:

Here are two ways:

1. Argonath RPG also takes the dictatorship position as any other RPG servers...
2. Argonath gets rid of those moaners and those roleplayers who are trying to shit Argonath with the rules from other servers, aka "serious roleplay"...

Wanna Serious Roleplay? Then Argonath is NOT FOR YOU... Leave it and go moan on Serious RPG servers...

Wanna stay? Then f**king shut the f**k up and have fun, learning how to defend yourself from deathmatcher, stop drool and cry arouns every bullet and remember those Argonath Players who could even fight hackers when found the tricks to defeat them...

So, from what I've read, we can choose not to role-play with a police officer, for example?

You can't be forced to role-play, your choice.

Surely you can't when you are a suspect (or just about to get suspected), but that's rather obvious. It generally depends on the situation and the players if you ask me.

Not really an accurate answer, you can't tell to the cops "I don't want to play with you, go away" when you're wanted for example.

Of course. But, for example, if I'm trying to rob a player (and he wants to take part of the role-play) in a alley, and a police officer approaches us, we can shut down the role-play and pretend nothing happened, correct? If so, the officer cannot accuse us of "possible something", am I correct?

[Kessu]

Correct, if you both say nothing happened.
Cop must believe both parties.

[TheRock]

Doh, there are groups even here (on SA-MP Groups) that think they are top RPing... for example stracci... You do know well what I mean... even if you read their topic tittle it's "YOU ONLY JOIN IF YOU TOP RPER"... I mean.. come on nitr0x.. this is not LS-RP.. this is Argonath.. don't mix it up...

as for me.. yes I've been effected by the brackets use also... and I'm still trying to get rid of them.

as for the money, I wish there was 1 DAY in argonath.. 1 WHOLE DAY... where there would be NO MONEY! No fee for business! Weps not allowed to be bought as you wouldn't be able to get them free. (so NO DMing that day) and just use IMAGINATION! to Roleplay.... I am bored to see money hunger people or people who think you need Money to RP... Answer: bowshit

If you have the IMAGINATION! and the good mood to Roleplay, you don't need even a simple Dollar.

/give and /me are some really good commands. so is the /l to communicate.. but there should be that day... so you can see how many people would had the real mood to come and play.. a day without money! without Moan! just you & your imagination.... I just wish something like this will happen.

Example: I'm on my way to San Fierro from Los Santos, I'm in a hurry and I basically don't got no time for a pullover by a cop. He stops me for no particular reason, like a routinecheck. Can I say "I don't want to roleplay with you, I'm in a hurry?"

[TheRock]

Well, if you /q and return after like 10 mins.. it may be caught as excuse... unless you have a good reason to leave (such as yours)... it also depends on the person. not all are so easy to let you go.... and in other way... they say you may not force somebody to RP... so use that as an excuse. (it's even better now, that it's a real one.)

[Kessu]

No money day and no moaning day on the same? Never gonna happen. People will moan about not having money that day.

[TheRock]

But if you think it like, the person who will do this, will do something or say something like that however comes and moan for the money will get a kick or a temp ban, there wont be much moaning... and in other way... just a simple day with no money wouldn't be bad at all.. yes there will be moaning for cop abuses or unfair RP Advantages (if anybody uses some), but still. You could enjoy it in a group or a trip with a lot players who are willing to use their imagination and play!

this kinda reminds me the old days in past where groups of "Truth or Dare" used to go with coaches on random places like Disneyland, sit down on circle and play calm with no moan... it's just a use of Imagination! (it's just an example.)

Back in the days of MTA:VC, if no admins were present, or if the scripts went down, we would declare Operation: Jericho. Players would handle themselves against DM'ers and hackers. We would rush to the same location, Fort Baxter, and defend ourselves as necessary. At some points, we would even RP floods and hurricanes...

[Jubin]

What's the difference in MTA:VC and SA:MP. In Vice City you get your guns for nothing, they are with you all the time. In SA you mus't earn money to own, and people want to own a lot of guns, as they feel they are not protected well enough.

[HiddenSniper]

I do enjoy playing more seriously.
Why? Because I was teached to play that way, HERE, at argo.
I do like it. I prefer serious RP instead of 'having fun', as I do have fun while roleplaying. Otherwise I wouldn't play.
