9/11 - 10 : Argonath Crime Free day

[rJCaiG]

CBFasi you know damn straight that asking these people to stop their usual cop / criminal boring shit is useless. Nothing will make people change from their regular routines and regular impulses to be boring and scripted. Save for forcing them, that is, which is what needs to be done. This server needs change, some excitement, something different to happen...To simply ask players to make that happen is pointless, they will not listen man...

At last, a valuable post in the entire thread.

You think it's boring shit. They do it, so they obviously don't..


Respect 9/11 by not enforcing others to do so and not arguing between yourselves..

ITT: lol we respect 9/11 on an internet forum

[Hevar.]

But what has Joke with Crimnal do to get ban

[JDC]

Not bad.

Please remember, al Queda is the organization who organized the 9/11 bombings, not the Taliban exactly.

Of f**king course I think it's boring shit. I've been here for 3 and a half years. Back in 2007, there were the most insanely random and hilarious RPs - CONSTANTLY - and now I see people going around in /p ASKING who is a good RPer so they can RP with them - wtf is this bullshit???
You obviously have no clue of what I'm talking about as either
A) You haven't been around for long enough
B) You're too focused on your admin work to be focusing on the little things in RP, well guess what sunshine, some of us actually long for a good RP and do you know what, as each day rolls on it's getting HARDER and HARDER to find...
Also, do you fail to realise that I've been in the SAPD as a high rank for in excess of 3 years? I've seen all the trends, I've seen all the gangs, groups, situations, cops, criminals, fucking everything, I know what's up and I'm telling you, we are not in bright days here...

Sunshine, I've been here since ~20 May 2007, you've been here since April 14 2007.. That's slightly more than 1 month

In my opinion, this "RP was better in the old days" thing is a major hype.. The only significant difference is in the way people roleplay. They want really complex systems of roleplay and to make this into a text roleplay server without utilizing the actual game..

Another difference is the number of people — there wouldn't be so many people online in the old days and you used to know everyone more than you do now..

And you're willing to stand aside and let the server descend into the dark realms of this shitty text based RP and cops & robbers instead of encouraging more free, creative RP, one way of which would have been by not ragequitting earlier in your little tantrum about us trying to encourage Roleplay, ultimately ending in the one thing enforcing this day full of RP to be removed. Proud?

cops & robbers

This part has always been an integral part of roleplay, however it is not the only part.


I recommend we stay on topic. Many lives have been lost due to 9/11/2001, this is an opportunity for us to think about this horrible act of terror.

On September 11, I lived in a town nearby New York City, about 20 minutes from it. I had school the morning it happened. I remember entering the classroom and seeing fear in everyone's eyes.. Many fire-fighters from my town died from trying to help.

(it may have been stated somewhere before, sorry if I didn't see it.)

The reason why me and Giac opposed the script reversion is that certain people want to disturb the peace deliberately. The more crafty ones can do it in an "RPly" manner, hence leaving us unable to punish them as just another person who does things to get wanted by the police.

I know that CBFasi and xcasio respect the players' freedom of choice on this matter* but I also know that there will still be some individuals who just want to disturb the peace on this day by doing crimes deliberately. I don't mind* the cops-and-criminals routine, I have learned to live with it, and it is one of the major aspects of my job (both as FBI and admin), but can't we just have peace from all of it for even one day, just in respect for those who passed away and those who are still being lost because of it?

I respect any orders from higher administration but I just have a strong emotion on this matter, leading me to express what I did, and disagree with CBF and xcasio's actions / views earlier. As for CBF, it may be impossible to get the entire world to cooperate, but it is possible to make Argonath cooperate for one day... CBF was not wrong to force what he first did.

Those are my honest views and I am sorry to those I offended.

Love and respect to the victims, their families, friends, co-workers. And to those whose lives have been changed, families torn apart, loved ones lost in the subsequent events, the aftermath that continues to this day.
Peace one day...

-September 11, 2001, a day we will never forget
