My views on "Destroying roleplay"

[Royal_Marine_Machine]

M&B Warband = Fighting Game.

If you want a "Role Playing" game, go find one. No matter how you mod it - the main objective is to kill people.

How do you make money? Grind or Tax. What can you do with no money? Nothing.

Sorry for double posting -

Let's not derail this threads with random accusations, I'd like to hear more perspectives upon this matter of ruining ones roleplay!

You may not have noticed, but no one cares any more. This issue has, if not been resolved, then at least put to rest. Unless you have something new to talk about why not just leave it be. Whipping a dead horse wont make it run any faster.

I agree.

Then why the hell did you make this thread? I have not seen anything that hasn't been said ten times over and over and over again. Its just retreading old ground. Until either something new happens or someone with some actual power takes a definite stance on one side or the other, the issue should be left to rest.

So do us all a favour and lock the thread. Its just asking for more flame wars to break out.

And today, when Bad_Manhunter left the server, he had about 20-2 KD ratio. Not even people getting on the server for the faction wars gets into that many fights, so he have to be doing something to provoke people. In other words, he is just looking for fights, and looking really hard.
Ignorant assumptions again, I get 20-2 kd ratios everytime I play, nothing new. If people complied I wouldn't need to kill anyone.

Actually, you are just going around looking for any reason to kill people, taxing is just a way for you to get people pissed off so you can kill 'em.

Nothing new, before PW4 atleast, many people were like this, haven't played enough of PW4 to get a good understanding of it's community.

Want to see peoples perspectives upon ruining roleplay not specific arguements within that.

Ok Eragon I understand what you want... more in-depth, intelligent, realistic RP.  Not impulsive, shallow or false rp used as an excuse to kill.  This is very simple except it involves changing other ppl's mindset... difficult to do.  I'm not sure what the answer is but I think it's really on the players... meaning you, me or anyone else seeking a pure RP experience.  Admin tries to help but it quickly turns into a big mess for them to sort out... mistakes are made as well which hurts credibility.  For now I guess we just enjoy the good times and try not to rage due to the BS.  Problem wont go away any time soon.  Who's online and what kind of factions are going really make a big difference.  Like today was frustrating because of bad rp'rs and randomers but I've had great fun other days with ppl that are cool.

Weeeeell...

The past few days I have been spending a lot of time on my Richard The Hapless character, it started out as a "social experiment" to see how people reacted to an actually RPed taxer. If people did not pay the taxes, I did not pursue or attempt to kill them. The tax itself was for a single denar. The thread linked to above mentions the player groups I encountered.

I honestly did not care if people payed the tax or not, but it really showed off what types of players there were.

The thread also explains other misadventures I faced. Which dramatised, sound more RP intensive then they actually were.

What I'm poorly attempting to say is, like Deacon said, it is down to the players. I have had some most excellent RP lately, but it is increasingly interupted by non-RPers looking to make a quick buck. If those who seeked to tax me actually had valid reasons I would gladly pay it, but asking for tax just for walking close to a factions castle is not good enough.

The mindset of to many players is get money, buy weapons, kill and get more money. Until that changes we will be stuck in our current state.

As for Eragon, good RPers our out there, you just have to look hard.

I will, in between the respawn times

Also, i have roleplayed with you. I was the Incredibly_Black_Obese_Man in the Cult of Cloppers.

I think to many players have gotten a way too competative view on the whole roleplaying thing. It's not a contest for anything. It's just a way to together make an interesting story about something. Since it's improvised, you can't really object to anyone interfering.

There is of course a limit to how much people would play along with you and it's different for all the players. Some have a lot of patience and are genuinely looking for people to create an interesting experience with while others are just looking for a fight. It's not really a good combination.

Anyways you should always consider what the other person will feel OOCly by your IC actions. Turning someone to a toad might not be the thing everyone wants to play along with since it's leave them very powerless and are incapable of resolving the situation. It's the same frustration you feel when you are getting taxed and feel totally powerless. I'm not pointing out any special case just saying.

Just.. Be nice to each other.

Whenever a man hunter aproaches you do what i do: Pretend you noly speak polish

 

[reyman]

lol wtf is wrong with you, you lie and make **** up in the part of the armored and have no money left, i did not go Waaah Waah, i said very clearly "Please i have no money let me go" and you started screaming "youll die anyways!" "Were going to kill you now!" **weapons pointed at me** ofcourse i said Screenie. You should just read what people have to say and not just make stuff up.

Not touching this subject, already resolved.

Anyway, how do other people feel about strange roleplays? Like roleplaying gollum or something?

 

[95th_Daniel_Hagman]

the way i see it is RP doesn't have to go your way, its unexpected.

Aye, people should be able to adjust to other people.

 

[bobthe8th]

it'd be fun to roleplay a group of homicidal maniacs with buchering knives and peasant clothing.

Hehe me, metalhead and a whole bunch of peasants we're just going around saying ''WE'RE GONNA MUG YA!!'' Then half a milesecond later kill them

don't worry the server was restarting and it was alpha 1 so every bliming admin had plated charger and black armor and tried to slam us taking ALL our health...

Good times, Good times!

And also Rp IS unexepected.. but I still love killing Manhunters/Taxers and watching them cry... oh yeah betcha that peasant with axe isn't such a easy target now... but then you break NLR and kill me, As soon as I type it on chat you go ''BUT YOU KILLED ME YOU FAG LOLZ!''.

Seriously...

 

[bobthe8th]

If a sheep kills a wolf, is it not natural for the wolf's pack to go and completely buttfk the ram?

 

[Tirok]

Well... it isn't natural for sheep to kill wolves... 

But I don't think that is really the best arguement for a break of NLR, unless he improperly explained the situation.

 

[bobthe8th]

My point was more that he's most likely killed a lone wounded manhunter and when the rest, or just one shows up and kills him, he's like WTF nlr break, when it's a completely different manhunter. Most didn't differenciate between manhunters.
