The poll is roughly even, nothing like the "70%" bullshit some people came up with.
If it is added, then people will think thats what they have to use. I for one don't want elitist dickheads shoving their roleplaying crutches down my throat.
It won't be added just because you're too lazy to type four brackets. If you really, really aren't good enough at roleplaying that you need such an aid, then you are perfectly capable of making it with the current commands and some brackets.

whoa, don't get so heated...

This is not a flame topic, it is just so we can see what the general opinion really is, and unless one side comes out very much the most popular, then it is not conclusive either...

Brackets win, and they don't lower RolePlay capabilities. More like rising them.

Pablo = Pablo. You changed name on the forum too or did I miss it a while back?

Yes, changed today.

Why do you need brackets to roleplay when others are perfectly capable of roleplaying without them?

[Jubin]

How do they rise the capabilities? Your role playing happens in character, always. And when do you use brackets? When you are not role playing. So it does not increase any role playing capabilities.

Obviously you are not a very good RPer then. That goes for everyone else who think that they need brackets in order to RP better.

If this were Facebook, I'd like his post. Shame that there aren't any more spaces for quotes in my signature

It's only more proof that elitists are shitting Argonath SA:MP further away from what it once was- a community very similar to MTA:VC, with lack of people who needed all sorts of aids to help them roleplay. In Argonath SA:MP's early days, we did not have the same proportion of those people moaning how this or that crutch makes their RP better.

Besides, regardless of the amount of poor RPers and shitters who moan for Argonath to be changed into an RLRPG, it will not happen. The Developers made it according to their vision and that is how it will remain.


Think of it this way, Roleplaying is like Acting. We take role, put ourselves into it, and play it out.

For example, imagine that in real life, you and your classmates are performing in a Guinevere and Lancelot play for your school, but that this particular play isn't totally scripted a hundred percent, meaning some of it is up to the actors.

Good Acting (or good RP):
**Lancelot shouts: Die, thy foul beast!
**Lancelot attempts to thrust his sword into the Dragon's heart
**A fierce struggle ensues between the two (Dragon) < Imagine this as an /em
**Both are locked in struggle, using up all their strength (Lancelot)
**Dragon is stabbed by Lancelot's sword in the heart (Dragon)
**Dragon shouts: ROAAAAR!
**Dragon falls to the ground and dies.

Bad Acting (or bad RP):
**Lancelot shouts: Die, thy foul beast!
**Lancelot attempts to stab his sword into the heart of the Dragon
**The two are locked in an epic struggle, with the Dragon attempting to resist (Dragon)
(You see the actor portraying Lancelot saying to the guy portraying Dragon: Success or Fail?) < Imagine this as /em success/fail
(The actor portraying Dragon responds: Success)
**Lancelot stabs the Dragon in the heart
**Dragon shouts: ROAAAR!
**Dragon falls to the floor and dies.

Now personally, even before I knew Argonath, if I encountered a play where I caught the actors acting poorly as they did in the second scenario, I would have yelled my boos and thrown potatoes at the actors.

Player 1: (( Lol did you see that guy get owned? ))
Player 2: Argonath does not support IC/OOC
Cop 1: ARGONATH DOES NOT SUPPORT IC/OOC!!!!


I've seen it happen before :/

But yeah, success/fail is quite horrible roleplay. Sadly, many people do not have the initiative to actually initiate the roleplay where they fail or succeed to do something.

Yes, but I for one do not like people going "so liek u guys wunt pie or sum shit LOL?" in the middle of a serious roleplay session, brackets or not. Sadly most of the people who don't use brackets act exactly like that.
I don't mind stuff like 'Shit, I have to go' or 'Get on TS you moron' though.

all the BEST RPers come from other servers like P*RP and L*RP, and they have brackets, you are saying because they have brackets they are shit RPers.

Why the fuck did you start another Argument when Ive already said:

wat

If you think the RP here is all shit, then you're better off on the other Servers.

Theres a logout button on the top of this page, use it and gtfo, and never come back.

If "all the best roleplayers are coming from LSRP", then why did they leave? Perhaps they do not like the brackets? Perhaps they do not like the roleplay there?

Yes, but I for one do not like people going "so liek u guys wunt pie or sum shit LOL?" in the middle of a serious roleplay session, brackets or not.

If someone starts using brackets then I will do the above, and am unlikely to otherwise unless I can't be bothered with conversing with the person, in which case I'm probably just on my way to my plane or something.

[Julio.]

More people seem to like using brackets than not :roll:
