My say on RP.

['Ends']

Bad RP

Setting: New York
Ships-
AiCore: Ai Cruiser
LNBS: Liberty Battleship

The AiCore heads over to Detroit munitions looking for willing test subjects, doing absolute nothing
violent. LNBS comes over and starts demanding to the vessel to leave. AiCore tries to explain to
LNBS that he is a peaceful ship, and is only here to probe at human specimens. LNBS doesn'€™t
care, and rather than try and negotiate the AiCore out, he just starts shooting.

Did he intiate rp before he started shooting?
Yes?
If yes,then there was no problem,the AI's a CRUISER, it's a FOREIGN WARSHIP.It's potentially DANGEROUS, the LNBS was trying to protect Liberty from what could be a threat to the safety if Liberty's civillians.Nothing oorp about that.Unless of course the LNBS shot without a word.

Good RP

Setting: New York
Ships-
AiCore: Ai Cruiser
LNBS: Liberty Battleship


The AiCore is coming out of the back-way from Alaska and heads over to Manhattan. The LNBS
comes up to the AiCore asking what it'€™s doing in liberty space, the AiCore states it is a research
vessel looking for female specimens to probe at. The LNBS played along and this ended up being
a very humours conversation in which the LNBS commander eventually came upon the AiCore to
be examined. Which eventually was broke when some hostile players came by. This event bought
about 6-10 extra players around, which I believed they all had good fun.

So if a person does not shoot,his rp is good then?I'm not really getting you.

<strike>Ok.Send me the names of your characters I promise that I will give a crap about you and I will not shoot you even if you shoot me.</strike>

He said one line, it was something along the lines of "Attack the AiCore." That was about it.
And within the rules it says something like that isn't sufficient; am I wrong?

A serious question from the OP:

- Whats your definition of RP?

Answer this, so I can continue with my side of the story.

[Frrz]

Interaction between two or more people, portrayed as someone they are not, outside the context of real life.

That what your looking for?

Don't really understand the question much.

[aerelm]

And what do you exactly call 'interaction'? Any words displayed in the chat window when someone's around?

[Frrz]

Converstions and actions between indiviudals, based on the backgrounds of the characters that individuals
are using. Preferably in a non-demeaning way, either through the context of said interactions, or outside the
context of RP, (like saying good fight after fighting someone, and not being pissed because you died).

[Exsiled_one]

The fact that you care enough to log on here and post a meaningful post means you're going in a good rp direction.

Somewhere down that road you'll probably figure out that there's no such thing as a roleplay where "everybody wins"
Well, there was once back in the days, where after a pirate pirated about 30mil, rolled a big fat blunt and roleplayed a drunk tard, he would offer a trader gambling chance to save his cargo.

But as the weed prices went up those guys declined. or that guy.

But people usually say good roleplay and bad roleplay like there's a winning and a losing side.
In the scenario where you come with a capital ship that's not flagged by the house you're in you can expect players to react to your forced roleplay.
In case you do not see what are you forcing, you're forcing them to protect their borders.
The fact that you're on the peaceful mission should help, but you just exited from Alaska, or... You just entered a heart of a house without hailing frequencies to ask permission.

Of course killing should be a last option (wtf ivan on drugs) but people rarely realize that in a good roleplay situation there's no winners and losers. Both the guy that got caught / killed / pirated and the guy that was the aggressor get kudos points if they play out their roles.

I miss the simpler times when the LSF could just board up Alaska, conduct HUMNIT, and shoot things that grunted at us.

Foreign warship hanging around Detroit Munitions (which is not a grocery store) refuse to leave and gets shot.

And you call that a bad RP, why? Because it didn't go the way you wanted?

[Frrz]

We weren't playing as a "Warship" though.
