Argonath Role Play, a forgotten skill ?

[DHR.Mike]

indeed role play is as good as dead i don't see many people do it anymore

1. RP does not need to be scritped.
Many ideas to create jobs, scripts, ranks and other things are requested as people seem to have no idea on what to do. For those people, the origin of RP is without any script support. In the early days of GTA roleplay, any RP was based on what was typed on screen. People bought houses you could not enter, businesses that were closed, or hotels without rooms.
And people paid each other money without getting anything in their inventory, they paid because they made RP of buying something.
It it so hard to use your imagination and do something virtual ?

Bad example:

* Gandalf sells grey brooms

Player: how can you sell brooms, they do nothing

Good example:

* Gandalf sells white brooms

Player buys  a broom.
After 5 minutes pPlayer comes back and tell the broom did not work.

Completly true I see you basically used MTA:VC as the base for this topic, people shouldn't reply on scripts to be able to Roleplay (People suggest Ideas and claim it "increase Roleplay") no it doesn't increase Roleplay only you yourself can do that and rope others into it.  Your example of the broom and someone saying it does nothing is what it's like on SA:MP.

/ad [SELLING] - Packets of AA Batteries - $5 Each, contact [Rstar]Rusty(911911)
*Your Phone Rings
*Buyer: So I like to buy some batteries, but what can I use them for?
You: Nothing it's just something am roleplaying to sell.
Buyer: lol that's pointless am not buying then. xD
*Buyer hangs up

Players are afraid to spend money, or even buy stuff that doesn't do anything.

If the seller says it has no use I would also not buy it ..

[EliteTerm]

then honestly you don't know the true value of roleplaying.

I am H.R.H King Infernal Curse of San Andreas nough said.

But so its not a spam post...

who ever used /me for saying hi? :P. You sir, mean /l.

I go up to people and ask if they lose a wallet, people never say yes, although they frisk them selves to check :P, although when i walk up to someone with an orange name they shoot at me  :poke: Not sure why...

There must be a way to bring organised roleplay, and spontanious roleplay back to our server.

I wouldn't buy it either, lol. The point of roleplaying is to be creative, not say "It has no use, buy it anyway." Correct terminology would be "Practically everything, backup batteries for your GPS, CB radio, and much more." Yet I do see Rusty's point.

I will make a nice response to this topic soon.

@ Curse: That is how you used to talk locally in MTA:VC... "/me : [text]"

You're a horrible salesman! Nah, jokes aside, I see your point.

YES-  less stricter ARPD on freecops, the other day, WS,NP,Freecops,EMS and some other fun people :P set up a roadblock in front of LPSD - A huge, and thick one.

Suddenly, a bunch of ARPD Sgts/ Division assistants +Lt, came along and bossed all the freecops and EMS and other people with threats of Suspects and Cop bans.

They came along and ruined the WSPD rp - [WS]Leonardo and some other people made it (LSPD) into a Cookie factory  .  . I was threated with a cop ban because i apparently led the people to do it (Oh but i did :P -The road block), it was fun and a very spontaneous rp, and well structured, but we was not going to make it into an argument / (flame) war, so the 20 odd strong people just left the handful of 6 ARPD officers to dismantle and moan about the road block with "oh its il-legal" "On who's authority".

Anyways, I can promise you all it will be back (maybe):P

There are some players who do this:

 *Advertise:Selling a Freeway, contact player (nr:****)

 you: massadge send


 *PM from player (ID **): What you offer


So you try to RP, by sending a sms, and you get a PM instead.

PM is still a lifeline for newer players and reporting a matter that isn't so serious to admins. I get pms often from people asking help on how to get a passport / phones etc.

For owning a freeway you need a Passport + licanse, you need to be registred 7 days before you can take a passport test.

After 7 day, the most people know that RP =/= PM
