Bloodseeker Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 i don't play gta at all anymore but I enjoy reading the forums from time to time so hey fellas the way I see this whole thing is: it should never be the duty of administration to educate/lecture players about roleplay. like you put it, it is a "heavy" roleplay server- those that decide to become a part of this community should step up their games instead of wasting the resources of staff sure, it's always good to treat a rulebreaker/an inferior roleplayer with compassion and show them the better way - but turning this into an official process? it's barely different from spoonfeeding my hate shield is activated Link to comment
Cici Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) First thing’s first. This is roleplay, nobody is superior or inferior to nobody. Some people are just better at portraying a character and realism than others. Doesn’t make anybody good or bad. Two types of RPers, experienced and new. Then you got trollplayers. People who say they can RP but actually could care less about the server or the roleplay in it. Its the staff’s resonsibility to handle them. People who come in and out of the server, or quit, just to come back and complain about the status of the server, or spread server propaganda in the discord, lol. Now just to shorten and clear it up, staff don’t have to be the ones carrying out lectures. Faction leaders who represent this server or just simply care enough about the direction it’s going can help. This idea will not get rid of rulebreakers. This suggestion will not help overt rulebreakers like some of the 3-4 time banned players on this server, that’s what the admins are for. This isn’t an admin to player thing, it’s an alternative to administrative punishment at the discretion of admins. Admins simply issue REL’s. It’ll at least lighten the load and it’ll slowly kill the trolling mentality. Because trolls can’t handle lectures from real roleplayers. ;) One last thing, it would not be the admins duty to lecture. It’d be the admin’s choice. The admin can flag you for an REL if they want to explain things to you but don’t exactly have the time at that moment to give it. Someone else can cover it. When it comes to setting the bar, or setting the standard, whatever you want to call it, this is definitely a step in the right direction. Edited February 24, 2018 by Cici 1 Link to comment

People need to make new factions if they want more variety, or just roleplay whatever they want. They can't if an area isn't supported/scripted. Currently the trendy thing to do is go to bars and clubs in unrealistic settings, i.e. middle-aged in young/hip clubs. There's not enough support for gang RP. Additionally, a lot of people aren't capable of roleplaying or properly replicating street gangs.

It leaves room for abuse, no matter who argues for this system. 1 Link to comment
