[SA:MP] Forcing & NOT Forcing RP

[Gandalf]

Yes exactly, the more people will interact the easier it will be, but interacting doesn't equal to role playing. So all I want to know that for example, does teaching a new player to be a good community member excuse me from role playing with the robbers when I clearly say it to them or would that still be rulebreaking from my side?

This always depends on the situation. Teaching a new player to be a good community member would not include teaching him the example of "fook uff I am busy", so if that would be your tactic it would not be correct.
Perhaps sending them $50 and asking to let you continue instead of having to engage in a 30-minute scenario would be a good example. Howver trying to ignore or flame them would give the wrong example of a possibility to get out of a situation by misleading others.
As said, lead by example. But remember that whatever example you give can and will be taken out of context and used against others by some whose mind is on gaining advantage instead of interacting.

fighting after surrender

Ever watched a movie?

What if I have a bobby pin, or something alike, in my pocket which I can reach with cuffs?
This just brings further roleplay, as I'm trying to get myself free. The officer at the other side might also accept it...

 :ps: This just brought me to an idea, visiting Ideas board >.>

In movies you can break cuffs free and fly and become a predator and use the Force and go to Mordor and have high-tech gadgets and just be a normal guy.

If I remember correct, developers stated that roleplay extends as far as the reality goes.

Roleplay means I can be a airplane if I want... Real life-roleplay is something else tho.

I agree. It does depend on the situation that's why I do not like it as a rule. Mostly it is because I dislike both kidnap and robberies RPs. I find them the most dull role plays there is and it happens so often. I am just sick of a person coming out of the blue to me saying: "Money or DIE!" and usually it doesn't matter if I give a reasonable amount of sum or not I am still getting shot dead. For god sakes all they seem to be directly doing it for the money not once I have been robbed for information about the military information about the heavy machinery going trough San Fierro or been kidnapped so they could influence let's say i9 taking care of SAPD detective who is too high up in the ass of those who kidnapped me. NOT ONCE!

So yes I do lead by an example and that would be to interact with anyone who wishes to speak to you and if you do not wish to participate in that particular role play you should be able to choose not to. I see no good coming out of role plays where people are dragged into the role play against their will if they have done nothing wrong.

Contracting a sudden bout of rabies and dying in a frothy mess is a good way of getting out of robbery I found.

Alright Gandalf since you've brought out this topic, I would like to forward a question to you. Kidnapping is a form of RP a citizen starts with cops right? But then most of the kidnappers, after getting arrested for kidnapping refuse to go to morder, isn't that like some sort of running away from the RP you've said about in first post?

[Comrade]

If someone you are robbing ignores you totally, AFTER you've given a fair warning, then be my guest and blast their brains all over the street...

Are you 100% sure about this? I mean, if the "robbed" player starts bunnyhopping away from you screaming "admin admin dm dm", then what?
What do you think admins will see from their point of view?

Oh great.. now we need 100 admins to spectate 100 players to see who's right.

lol I love going to Mordor. Sets the stage for "epilogue" roleplay.
