A new OOC punishment? - Nathan - 09-02-2010

When you sometimes get the occasional player who doesnt understand RP at all and carries on oblivious to the word. Instead of zapping their bank accounts. How about maybe they must write a Roleplay Biography on their charecter and show that they are then in the swing of RP.

This just popped in to my mind.

Any ideas? Maybe add more on to it?

I think this is a very good idea, however, I think collateral would be a better idea-- fine their credits, then give them back if the bio is written.

No.
For example some people are good in in-game RP, yet they're unable to do proper forum RP.

It all depends on how long the player has been on the server. Didn't a nomad cruiser rick roll a system?

They could just post a log of SSs of them being IC.

Not a bad idea, it'd have to be administered (see what I did there?) on a case-by-case basis, and would be rather hard to keep track of, but overall, worse ideas have been proposed.

Forcing someone to do something they may not want to do, and then granting a harsher punishment if they don't? Sounds like Obama's communist ways have spread even to England!

Nope.

Dude - few of the people here can't even write proper english. Its better to stay with the current punishment that we have.

But it's an English only server....

They should be able to RP in English reasonably well.
