Some RP advices.

[[Rstar]Paul]

Are you seriously trying to make people follow the ''hand extension'' example?

 

[Rick.]

In runescape, the roleplay is very different. There is no commands, We make our own commands. I roleplay as a Falador guard protecting the white castle from trashing whipping on by.

I'm not going to read through this entire topic; it's full of nonsense and bullshit.

Role-play is simply assuming a role of a character and acting like he/she/it. Other than that, you should define what your style is. You want to write an essay for every single action you do? Fine. You want to use /me to show that you're breathing? Fine. But don't force your style down other people's throats because you think that it's

proper RP

- because, let's be honest, it's not.

Your role-play do not develop just because you write longer /me's. Harder English words do not make you a better player.
Role-play is all about imagination and creativity, if you can involve a lot of both into role-play scenarios, whether what you're role-playing, then it should satisfy others.

Indeed, more detailed /me's is one part of creativity, but it is although not always necessary.

>ain't that a bits
>an baby

Not to mention that typing long sentences is boring, especially when the other players will also have a delay in responding. More than half of the shit you all said was useless, anyway. It can all be displayed by doing simple character movements. That would help move the entire scenario faster. The entire thing was so boring. It's not creative. It's stereotypical "hurr durr gangsta" shÑ–t. If this is what roleplay is to you, I feel sorry for you.

The best "RP advices [sic]" is to ignore all given RP advices [sic] unless they're:
A. Be original.
B. Be entertaining.
C. Be adaptive and play with what you have.

Thanks for trying to help people out with a few 'tips, Renz0.


I get your point and also believe people need to use more animations and /me to explain and express themselves better, but not actually the way you did on your first post.
Like people mentioned here before, /me is for situations where animations can't express your actions, or when they simply don't work.

A huge problem that I experienced is that SA:MP makes people think it's all about drugs, wars, gangsters & thug life. (Like in the main story of SA)
With that being said, most (very new) players restrict their roleplay to cops & robbers and similar.
It's a matter of personal taste, however, don't restrict yourself to one role if you're trying to improve your roleplaying skills.

I personally enjoy versatile roleplay, different skins, different locations, different people to RP with and that.
Just when it comes to family roleplay like in Sims, I just don't feed into it because it's riduculous to me and I feel too old for that kind of RP.


My advices would be:

Improve your english skills so you're actually able to express yourself properly. That's the most important thing.

Learn all the animations and try to combine them with simple and short /me's to make situations look more unique.
Most of times it's still better to say something than just doing another /me.
(Rather say 'Where is the next public toilet, dude' than '/me needs to shit real bad.')

Get in contact with different types of people, so you get yourself into more versatile roleplay situations.
Hanging out with gangsters all day is cool, but that's not making you fantastic roleplayer.

Use your imagination, don't think too much of being a thug once you have a black skin, or don't be too strict once you feel like being a business man.
Think of funny (not trolling) stuff, try to make situations more uniquely, be smart, witty and original.

Try to drop bossy, swanky & immature attitudes, and keep your guns in your pockets.
You're not a pro if you kill someone because you shot him down while he's typing.


Hope this helps, too.

Cheers,

Couldn't find any other productive and constructive posts besides from Que and Link.

The remaining posts mainly consist of disrespectful, profiling and provocative comments.
I actually expected more, especially from our beloved 'conservative' ones :-)

At-least he supports, demostraights and makes creative Roleplay within the server which is in the boundaries of the Argonath Vision.
His advices for the Community as a whole gave a good idea to those fellow players on how to act on a Roleplay scene.

Even if your post was sarcasm, read the above in case you do not understand.
But mainly Jcstoods is an alcoholic, yes.   

It was sarcastic, I actually think alot of roleplay Jcs does it just epic and fun, Argonaths needs more people like him.

Free speech FTW, but yeah this topic turned from a 1 post guide on bad roleplay into an 11 page lesson on trolling.

I'm writing this on Gavino's behalf. He is forum banned, as usual...

Gavino:
Renzo, you give totally wrong example. Role Play is simple when you absorb the role of a character. In general, you can not restrict the roleplay in proper and not proper. Each character has a different style. Detailing of words in the commands /me and /do give more or less accurate description of the actions made by one character. This is not mandatory, but is practiced in some cases. Depends on the situation. The more creative and clever you are, the better role player you will be. Do not bother to direct anything to me, at this stage I can not answer.
