Where did all the roleplay go?

[Pandalink]

Giac is right, JDC is right..  Sorry but I'm starting to think IC/OOC should be enforced in this server.

In a world where people like Giac and JDC are ever right and IC/OOC is enforced on Argonath..

Well, fuck that world.

[Emre]

I guess you are the one who is too unskilled to find such roleplays, as I have no trouble finding and making them.

I do have trouble. If necessary (you can ask some peeps around, they can confirm), I do start some, even at the most unorthodox timing.

Lastly, I don't know what part of the world you live in, but here we have something called "timezones".

Why can you not bring a post without acting like a stuck up dickhead?

So why are you still here?

Because like I said, you randomly state things that do not even relate to what I said. I did never claim, do not claim and still do not thing about saying that RP is dead, because I still do find some. That's why I continue. I don't feel like being hustled off this community by a clueless asshole who wouldn't give a damn dog's ass if this community had closed down but dares to hypocrize while his only potential intention is to point at the bad guys and make them leave. Yes, that's how much of a cunt you are.

I find it even more interesting that my post gets removed, not suspicious at all.

Please explain how administrators are the reason that RP is decreasing.

There are certain scenarios. Be it someone being punished for having a violent way of interacting or just formerly good roleplayers being honored to become moderators who start to feel like overly special people, which leads to my statement that

Red name = Busy and not available for roleplay.
White name = Do what you wish to do but expect us to disappear if required.

you cannot tell me that there is no way a moderator / admin is instantly unavailable when going red, there are certain times where they just do not want to interact. Your profession is not that difficult, the majority of the set is just exaggerating, that's all.

  .. Already the story of every deathmatcher 

  That is not what RP is about at all. Take your time to read all the previous posts of Gandalf and maybe you will understand.

He was giving you an exhibit of what often happens. And what if there's more RP of intentionally murdering than harmless things ? Does it make you a deathmatcher as you state it to be?

For those who think I'm completely against all odds and/or goods of this community ; You're wrong. I am criticising a lot, maybe even too much, however I do not remain here just to shit around, I am here to chitchat and roleplay and not to hunt other people off like a certain other person(inbefore he appears and paraphrases his entire post).

Giac is right, JDC is right..  Sorry but I'm starting to think IC/OOC should be enforced in this server. Because every time somebody would like to initialize a roleplay situation, the other party makes excuses such as IC and OOC do not exist in Argonath - This is just my opinion.

I also do believe in new players' and some veterans' potential of creating a wonderful RP situation.

You cannot believe that both are right, these two are merely speaking against eachother. Those who try to separate in-roleplay chatting from out-of-roleplay chatting already use the brackets and/or other visible symbols, so why not keep it this way ?

[Lionel Valdes]

I understand. But some players, or should I say the majority, use the non-existance of IC/OOC in Argonath as an advantage for them. So they can amass a fortune in-game, either by bang bang, or shhh shhh (hostage situation), or sniff sniff (getting weed and selling it) and give 0 attention to the important thing, the reason they all came for, the roleplay! Not even animations..

[Alan.Wake]

Administrators do not carry out punishments without a decent reason to do so. Of course we lose our mind sometimes as we are humans, just like you but we are not banning anyone if (s)he attempts to roleplay with us. We are here to teach and introduce, not to create a fear on the server that makes the players afraid to communicate with us.

We might seems harsh, rude and not interested in conversations / roleplay but trust me when I say this. We are here to help and the last thing we wish to do is to create a fear. We do multiple things at the same time, we can have several conversations at the same time which makes us to answer and then move on. We are here to help and keep the server peaceful.

Red name = Busy and not available for roleplay.
White name = Do what you wish to do but expect us to disappear if required.

Like i said before, it rarely happen now days, i spoke from my past experiences which was from 2009 to 2011. They were certain admins whom i won't name that would do quiet the damage to others.

Already the story of every deathmatcher 

  That is not what RP is about at all. Take your time to read all the previous posts of Gandalf and maybe you will understand.

I saw what he said and i agree about it since that what i believe in, even before he posted about it. As for the "story" about every deathmatcher, i tend to disagree as i seen people getting banned for someone stealing their drugs even with "heavy" roleplay involved. I wouldn't be calling those types of people deathmatchers.

[Adam.]

I remember, back in 2011, all I would do is shoot people all day as a cop. Why? Not because I was corrupt, moneyhungry cop, but instead because nobody taught me differently. Later that day, I was banned. Again, not because I was moneyhungry/corrupt, but because nobody taught me different, and instead of telling me what I did was wrong, administration just decided to /ban me without giving me an explanation.

[Gandalf]

He probably mean the "other" types. If you plan to murder someone who happens to be an admin, there is a high chance that you will tempt him/her to use his admin powers thus creating a no-no scenario. I will give a situation from my experiences.

Player1 walks towards admin, having intentions to murder him.
Admin1 catches the scent and chooses his options, either ignore him in various ways or just play along.
Player1 uses his roleplay to make a reason to kill him.
Admin1 acts along.
Player1 starts to shoot Admin1.
Admin1 bans Player1 for Deathmatching.

This creates fear among some players.

I am pretty sure that this part is what he meant, even tho he didn't mention it clearly. Minor problem which thankfully, doesn't happen much. Tho i haven't be on for weeks, could be happening to others.

I find it kind of strange that where admins are reported for the smalles things, such behaviour never lands in [email protected].

IC/OOC is only for those who wish to flame the shit out of others without being caught.
For the rest it barely has any value at all.

Everything has logs..

Yep, but people will hide behind "my character speaks that way".

Or you can make rules for specific terms and insulting..

How about leave the current chatting system and don't flood the server with rules? Everything would be fine the way it is if others would TEACH new players. People complain about how we will never return to RP. here's your fix:

LEAD BY EXAMPLE

[BlackEagle]

i ate all the roleplays ok

[Kirgiz]

Giac is right, JDC is right..  Sorry but I'm starting to think IC/OOC should be enforced in this server.

How could you connect Giac and JDC being right/enforcing IC/OOC rules. Just how!?

Regarding admin stuff, you don't really have the experience to understand, but most of the time admins and mods can already juggling with PM's, a flood of admin chat etc ... before you even approach them. We do not only do admin work when turned red. And admins are dedicating their time to helping others, so yeah of course not everyone will have the patience or your time for your "interactions".

Regarding the DM stuff. Only DMer would have a reason after he went up with the intention to murder.

You sit here complaining yet you all do nothing to change it IG.
