"RP" and "Non-RP", Where is the line drawn?

[Chris_Knight]

I can kill cops while roleplaying you know.

So true,thats why many people don't get banned for dming because tehnicly it has an RP past even if it leads to non stop hour shooting.

Yes, you can, but what he described was not roleplaying.

Daco is referring to something else. The scenario that was previously brought up had a user state that they considered it bad roleplay to run up to LSPD and just open fire on cops. That is actually not even a form of roleplay at all as they are just deathmatching and cophunting cops. Now, if they roleplayed out an insane, police-hating psychopath who had escaped from a mental hospital and was on the loose, vowing to kill any cop he saw...THAT would make sense in a roleplay way, but even then you have to be careful as you don't want to force the scenario upon those who do not wish to participate.

It goes this way,you buy thousands of combats and other stuff. You go out and get pulled over by cops or rob somone,kill not matters wich one of those two and there it goes. You keep driving around LS area taunting all nearby newcomer arpd officers on your tail,to finish them of in some abandoned area. Wich aftherwards returning for next meal and at the end you can't be bothered because all started with RP and rest is just an unstopable chain. Not to mention when people arive help each other during pursuits via CB ,so unexpected civil up your butt with combat while you taking cover is best part. And at the end civil doesn't gets punished,just observed how he engages unstopable chain with his bud buddys going for new meal.

Wait...what?

What is RP and what is non RP is largely a matter of perception. Argonath has a range of players, some new to the concept of RP, others who have played on various servers and then joined Argonath and some others who have been here from the start. Each group and players within the group will have their own concept of RP and non RP of a particular situation. Therefore there is no rule of thumb about what is RP/non RP.

If someone tells you that whatever being done by you is non RP, move on and find another person to RP with. Of course, if what you are doing is rulebreaking, then you will deal with admins, wherein, moving on and doing the same thing again will be a bad idea  :ban:

In simple words,roleplay can be misused for own benefits and easly manipulated.

Correct, but that was not what I was referring to with my statement.

[juppie445]

There is no line..

People will say Non-RP if they cant control the situation.

You can't come to a conclusion about this question at all simply because everyone's point of view is different about the limit. And it is quite obvious that the points of view differ the most between administrators and regular players.

And yet here i am to conclude that the entire server is only caring for them self, and will only call any situation Non-RP if they obtain no benefit from the RP. Since i have been here since nearly day 1, i know.

[SugarD]

Define day 1, because I seem to doubt that.

Go ahead and doubt it, the first acc i made was in early 2007.
At the V1 where you had to f4 to change class, and stuff like that.

Then you are sadly mistaken, because SA:MP's earliest days were forced to be RP-only. Scripts were too heavily limited back then, and were, in some ways, modeled after those of the MTA:VC server at the time, which if you played that, you would definitely know how wrong you are.
