Argonath Role Play, a forgotten skill ?

[Altair_Carter]

Stop with this moaning supermank, you're on Argonath, where people have the option to engage in RP or not.

I think, if the name of the server is "Argonath RPG", it's meant for Role-playing game, not for "Stand-around-and-chat-with-buddies".

Or, if it's like above i've said, why then naming it "RPG"? Name it "Argonath Server" or so

You are saying people should be RPing always? That would get boring fast. Not that I'm against RP, I am not. Fun comes first on Argonath, with RP coming in second, or visiting the Server would become a chore.

Argonath RPG is not just an RPG, it is also a Community.

The name of the server should tell what the server is about. If it's about community, name it elsehow IMO.

RPG = RolePlaying Game... So fucking what even it says RPG and people don't RP all the time, when there is 80 players roleplaying.. There will always be few players just chatting around with friends..

Just because it's allowed, it still exists. When I pull out a minigun from my ass, I'm Powergaming, because I'm using an object I don't have.

Not really. You don't have to type "/me takes out his gun out of its holster" each time you want take out your desert eagle because we're not role-playing in a text-only area, like MSN. Or you are doing "/me sits down" when using /sit and "/me is walking across the street" each time you walk, too?

Powergaming also means using items in role play you don't actually have.

Powergaming also means using items in role play you don't actually have.

And what items are they? As I understand most of you role play criminal, so it is kind of logical that you have different kind of weapons.

When I pull out a minigun from my ass, I'm Powergaming, because I'm using an object I don't have.

I'd tell you "Use it on me then, I dare you!" 
And that's not Powergaming, that's just lying.

Also, if I were a criminal and wanted to deal Cocaine (non scripted item, therefore I "don't have it"), would it be power-gaming?

Wrong.

Exactly. Shampkoo is powergaming too.

[BlackBird]

Wrong.

Exactly. Shampkoo is powergaming too.

No it's Not, it's called use of your active imagination, powergaming is non existant on argonath, whether you choose to acknowledge this FACT or not is completely up to you.
There is no Powergaming or metagaming on argonath, once you realize this your experience on argonath will improve drastically, however, if you wish to bitch and whine about powergaming and metagaming and ic and ooc shit, this isn't the server for you.
Saying that using your imagination, is powergaming, is jsut as bad as trying to force rules of powergaming and metagaming

[Jubin]

Exactly. Shampkoo is powergaming too.

So, being for example a Football team coach also powergaming, as this job is not scripted?

[Stanley_Taylor]

Are you guys retarded? I didn't make up the meaning of powergaming.

[Caltson]

Isn't it clear enough??

Instead of discussing about HOW to RP, Just go ingame and have fun, that's what it is about....

[JDC]

Powergaming is a bull shit here on Argonath, and it does not exist here the way it does on other servers since we are not an RLRPG.

In MTA:VC, we dealt with items we did not have in our scripts. We ate potatoes that cannot be held, developed new drugs that could not be used, bought houses we cannot enter and bizzes we cannot profit from. The only thing that we could have actually used there were the fishing bait and the cars.

Clearly, Stanley, you need to change your vision of Argonath. This Server is about imaginative RP, unlike RLRPG Servers that are about loosely related rules and regulations made to govern every aspect of RP.

Go to MTA:VC for a sabbatical, maybe a couple of months, and become a regular there while staying away from any RLRPG Servers on SA:MP. I can guarantee your view of things will change, even a bit.

totally agree with this sick of people always trying to get out of rp situations by doing /em fails and moaning "waaa your forcing rp"
