KingstonThaIII Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) This one's harmless compared to some other examines I've seen on this thread but still I cant tell what your life story is by looking at you. Edited May 29, 2022 by KingstonThaIII Link to comment
pateuvasiliu Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 People might be mistaking /examine for RP profiles the way WoW has ( TRP ). I'm sure it's not malicious, just gently tell them it's meant to be for things you can OBSERVE. 2 Link to comment

If I see someone with a cringey examine I personally just ignore it & if it’s powergame like I’ll pm them and give them some positive criticism rather than scolding them for it. i understand this is an English server but not everyone speaks English as their first language therefore creating sentences that make sense to a native speaker may be difficult to them so helping them out with some constructive criticism is never a bad thing. I have many friends that I was in LEO factions on this server which had issues creating sentences although were some of the nicest individuals on here. Doesn’t hurt to help someone out rather than putting them down. 1 Link to comment
Pillsbury Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 While it doesn't really "fall" under Rule 19;"Character descriptions must describe the character's general demeanour and appearance for players involved with roleplay. Character descriptions should not intentionally sexualize the character and should be rather neutral in describing the character. For clarification, this covers the character description script that a player can set using /attributes and another player can view using /examine."This rule goes for Sexual RP Rules and generalized attributes if you want me to be honest. Admins will crack down on crazy /attributes if you simply /report them in-game. But we don't go around for fun and do /examine to every player to make sure they are up to standards. For those confused on what attributes should look like?"Stands 5'10" and looks to be around 250LBS, speaks with a slightly deeper voice. Looks to be of a Hispanic decent. A noticeable scar runs through the side of his face that looks to be a few CM's deep. Speaks with somewhat of an attitude at all times and seems to be a "pushy" type of person" - This describes a character perfectly and doesn't really go into any of those "extreme" sides of an /attribute. It gives some information about the player, what they look like, what they might sound like and a general 'demeanor' that isn't over execrated or can be PG'ed. If someone genuinely speaks with an attitude all the time, it's okay to mark that down, just like if you spoke with an NY accent.For those confused what an attribute that might break the rules looks like?"Stands 7'3" and weighs 150LBS, was abused his whole life and doesn't know how to speak to people, butt looks fantastic, thighs thick asf, base is 10/10, is a former Navy Seal cross-fit Delta Operator that now works for the Secret Service. Don't mess with me or you might die." or "Is a Secret Service Operator from the USA, won tons of rewards, you might see me online at 5-10 server time" TLDR? AN ATTRIBUTE DESCRIBES WHAT YOU WOULD NOTICE ABOUT SOMEONE - NOT THEIR PERSONAL LIFE AND FAMILY BACKGROUND. ATTRIBUTES ARE USED FOR THINGS THAT WE DON'T HAVE IN-GAME AND THE ABILITY TO PHYSICALLY SHOW. YOU SHOULDN'T WRITE WHAT YOU ARE WEARING IN /ATTRIBUTES IF WE CAN PHYSICALLY SEE IT (obviously a neckless/ring might be a different case if its all fancy). If you put in your /attributes that you are speak with an Irish Accent, don't be surprised when someone comes up to you and goes "Oh your Irish?" after they heard you speak for ten minutes. If you don't like someone's /examine - /report. Thanks, Love Pillsbury 10 1 Link to comment
ode Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) Personally I love it and I feel like it's a must to have descriptions such as these. Here's an example Edited June 1, 2022 by ode 3 Link to comment
ERPQM Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Kind of a pet peeve of mine as of late. Usually these attributes go hand in hand with people that put thoughts/statements about their characters personality in their emotes. Show me, don't tell me. Link to comment
kuchera Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) My motto is if their examine has a useless adjective like “illustrious” I don’t want to talk to them Edited June 1, 2022 by Kucheras Link to comment
