By living in the game environment, you are expected to be brave enough to be on both sides of the interaction. That you are mature enough and skilled enough in RP to know and understand that the outcome of an encounter between a lawful and unlawful character can lean either way. If you are a part of a multiplayer enviroment, you have no way to choose how that encounter ends. That is what makes RP fun. If you want a set ending, go read a book.
Yes, consequences. That's my point. There needs to be something leading up to the getting shot. So many people here acting like they're cops in GTA. I have no problem with getting shot at. I just don't want it to be the only thing I can do with my character. And I don't want to have to join the Zoners or the LSF just so I can talk to people and enjoy some RP.
And why do you keep suggesting that the forums are the only place you can have quality RP? I know for a fact that's not true. There are plenty of ways players could interact with each other in a more fun way for everyone instead of just being out to gank single ships.

You know what? I do not get on thing.
You come back from a break from 2013, three years ago. And you start off with a rant how roleplay is apparently dead. You have taken no time to readjust to the game enviroment or brush up on the changes to Disco in general.
Instead you come to the forum, yelling about the apocalypse because a player chose to shoot your unlawful character on their lawful character. That you, how dare those people, did not allow you to get out of an encounter unscathed. That you, flying your unlawful ship in the midst of the most active system in Sirius, the capital system of the most militarized house apart from Gallia, that your wannabe tough guy was taken out by the local law enforcement.
That is silly.
What previous interactions have you had with these people? Have you established your character to be a reasonable person? That they are not ''just a random criminal?''. No, you have done no roleplay to make that characters name known and you expect to be treated with a broad set of leeway? Do you perhaps want a large coke with that? You have, as it seems, made no effort to make your character known to the area you play in and expect to receive special treatment.
No. The players who shot you were acting in roleplay. It is you who could not accept that such an outcome is a possibility and a result of roleplay and now are making a fool of yourself on the forum. If that is your attitude, please save us from watching a grown man cry - the door is over there. Many players younger than you and less experienced than you seem to have done much better to settle in and have made their characters known to be fun to roleplay with regardless of their ID. You want to have these liberties without effort and by default. No, you get them by roleplaying. Something that you claim to be dead.
Change your attitude. You are in the wrong here.

No, they usually have poker parties with lawfuls, because they are definitely the best buddies, aren't they?

It works both ways, really. Liberty just has more lawful players; I am willong to bet that this is where you were looking.

Nobody asked them to be buddies. Just get yourselfe to drop a few more words other than "surrender", "engaging".
That cant be too much to ask for.

Nice job on assuming that I haven't played just because I haven't posted on the forums in a while. Obviously that makes my opinion invalid. Have you met me in-game? I don't think so. You're basing all of this on assumptions and now stooping to personal attacks. Good job, mate.
I never said I expect special treatment, I just want people to say more than two words before blasting away at me because, you know, that's what it says in the rules. But you do you, my friend.
RE: [Rant] The Death of RP - sindroms - 05-19-2016
Assuming things is the only thing I can do at this point, because you have done no contribution that I can read on the forums, even so much as a small writeup of whatever character you are playing. For three years now.
And of course I am assuming you started playing again just now, because otherwise we would not have this thread in the first place if that wasn't the case.

How would you RP to get special treatment if everybody just kills you once you appear at their radar? explain that to me please?
You assume that people get to know my character, but the people we are talking (ranting) about are people who have no interest in RP. So they surely wont go and remember that guy whom they made into a blue message.
