Because it completely throws off what other people are roleplaying as. Why should you get an advantage over someone that can't spend that time using a script? Link to comment

We are talking about a short amount of IRL time to role play lifting weights. Link to comment

Assuming that they do absolutely nothing is silly at best. Link to comment

Characters still exist even when you are not online. Assuming that they do absolutely nothing is silly at best. Scripts are there to enhance our game play experience. Why would anyone role-play working out when I can just put in my description that I'm a buff guy in my 20s that looks hella scary. I believe in character development, I believe that you should put forth time and effort into your character to make him/her into the person you think they should be. If my character wants to make money to pay his bills/go out/ survive, he has to find a job. I work as a trucker right now and there's a script that allows me to do that and to make money. I can't role-play him working offline and making money and expect it to be there the next time I log in. So why should (let's face it 95%) of the server be able to role-play as buff people who are strong. If I role-play in a gym for X___ amount of time on a daily basis because that's who my character is, I should be rewarded. I'm suggesting a SMALL increase of strength. If you're in a shoot out, do you role-play the gun? No, you role-play taking it out and you actually get to shoot it. Just like when a fight is started, no one is role-playing it. There's a small % of times that a fight is role-played out, let's be honest. So why should we not make a feature where someone can be rewarded for putting in the IC time to become stronger.

Gryphboi Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Tbh if you get your ass kicked by some preteen or a 5ft-nothing female character that's just poor portrayal on their end. Most people don't bother reading /attributes before they pick a fight, so they just assume everyone's on equal terms physically when most of the times that's hardly the case. Gonna be a no-no from me, because this just promotes both another form of RPG grind for people who can't be bothered to RP AND senseless fight DM/mouse click spam.

This is again something that you can keep track of through role play. Keep screen shots so that when situations arise, you can justify the reasoning behind your character being naturally stronger. A script isn't needed. This isn't an RPG where you work for stats. Going to be a no from me. Link to comment

Some players roleplay coming from another city, country so they have every right to roleplay what they want within reason, and have a background. Link to comment
marbella mondays Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 No. Seriously, this is the last thing the server needs. RPG elements aren’t needed on an RP server, people are forced to do attributes so roleplay a fight according to that. Link to comment
Marksman Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Can you imagine how much better the server would be if we banned every player that ever suggested an RPG script? Link to comment
