The following phases are what I believe everyone has gone through, or is going through. Its based on my knowledge and experience. I may be wrong too and you may be different from this. But to some extent we all do this.
The New PhaseYou're new. You try to blend in and work for money. Rulebreaking is common. You get angry upon losing cash and you are known for your bad communicating skills. Nobody trusts you on cop duty and nobody accepts you in a family or group. You know its tough life and you work hard.
Common topics from new players include removal of NRG in case they are cops. And removal of freecops if they are criminals
The Understanding PhaseYou think you're great. You have a house, infernus and NRG, you're in a nice family and you try to work more for higher ranks. Understanding of roleplay increases. Friends/enemies increase too. But rulebreaking is still common. People consider you as a regular and this is the time when most players get banned. You're after ranks and money and advantages over others. And for that, you do bad things.
Cops are trying to get in SAPD, and criminals in big crime families like Gvardia. Your communicating skills are very improved and you roleplay usimg /me and use /em for Non- roleplay chat. A little misunderstandings but you're trying to get the hang of this roleplay thing.
The Semi ProPeople think they're the best. Rich, high ranked. Perfect in roleplay. You try to preach others how they're using /em incorrectly and that Argo doesn't support IC and OOC. Your forum ideas include removal of state cars, high emphasis on roleplay and you think you're doing amazing. You continue increasing money and aim towards the top. You're at least 1 year old and people know you. Your sole dream may be to become a moderator now. Your english is absolutely perfect and you joke around and laugh at those who are bad at it and people who may have not achieved the position you have.
Your fun is sometimes even on the expense of others.
The real ProBelieve me, the transition from semi pro to Pro is very difficult. People remain stuck at Semi pro for long times. I myself used to be stuck there when a very good friend made me realize things.
You now truly realize the true meaning of Argonath. The world of its own. The true meaning of why freecops are there, why suspects are orange and why state cars are not removed. Why are we not a RL RP. Money and rank is no longer a concern. You may think you dont like money, but really think about it. Do you? Your ranks dont matter now.
You realise the true meaning. Its a game and virtual rank or money doesnt matter. What matters is friendship. Thats the only thing you play it for. You never seem to be angry about silly things, you domt worry if you die, you dont worry about anything. You abide by rules and you love others even if they hate you.
Im not sure how it might be for others, but from various people I know, these are the phases we go through. Some people may even skip phases or stay stuck at one. Its not your personality. Having a good friend may change you, like it changed me.
Bans are also common in this phase when money or rank doesnt matter to you and instead of being good, you act as a troll and have fun over the expense of others. You ruin others fun and thats when it goes bad.
People honestly call me a troll, and I sometimes do behave like one. But what matters is that the joke is to be funny and not hurting anyone.
I know people who are serious all the time. This may be an RPG server, but theres a reason why its a world of its own. Its about love, friendship, being a nice person and enjoying a little in our stressful lives. Thats the true meaning of Argonath RPG.
