List of ideas

1. Don't gang people. It's better for everyone that way.

2. Don't let being alone against an enemy be the reason you log out.

3. Come on, give it at least ten minutes before you log in to pk someone specific.

4. Get your mind away from thinking what you can get away with.

5. This is the big one. Don't complain about the quality of play when people bring you decency and you return it with ganging, continuous full loots under crap circs, and other miscellaneous crap. I've mostly seen it happen to others, and that's what gets me irritated enough to post. I can deal with myself, but I know some people who are trying to and get slapped. So mayhaps I start making Myrek proud. Too much effort and no payoff my way.

Cheers.

1. Don't hold rares, then no one has a reason to kill you.

2. Don't join a cabal, I hear if you don't do that you don't have to worry about getting ganged by cabaled players. So, no worries about their powers. Or so I'm told (been awhile since I've had to deal with this).

3. Don't play any race other than human, this way you avoid the evils going undead who "need to taste the bodies of various races." You're human, so are they, they can go eat themselves.

4. Play with quiet mode. Then you don't have to get pissed, like I do, when some trite RP comes by and demands you hunt with them. When you ignore (as I do with "Hunt?" or "Group?") or turn them down they get all "big and bad" and tell you they're going to kill you. (come on, I'm sick of this, I now just tell them, "let me know when you're in my range so i can take off my armour and lay down for you."

5. When someone does something stupid, blow 'em in. If someone does silent PK and never responds, blow 'em in. Let the imms figure it out. If they won't help you figure it out then they're trash. If they do RP back at you, assume they've had a reason. Otherwise, no response means no reason, trash. But, if they're reason is ****, "I'm perpetuating the cycle." then I get pissed. "No. You're not. I'm here. Again. The cycle failed. You failed. Go fall on your blade."

1. Play something different. We've had so many badass FG warriors. We've had so many angry feral rangers. Why not a lawful Thief who is an Urban commando who returned from War? Why not a Warrior who has seen too much bloodshed and given up his way thus joining tranquility?

2. Allow others to sway your RP. Big one, there are other players here, let them influence you. If a god comes down and slaps me says, "a-g, you shifty bastard, if you don't denounce your evil ways I'll kill you...." you better believe I'd denounce.

3. If you ain't got the walk, dont' talk the talk.

4. Allow others to sway your RP. If you wanna go avatar, go avatar... but let someone influence you on a smaller level. Does someone instill a fear of water in you? A love for squirrels?

5. Think about characters... is a paladin going to kill a neutral human for a pair of ****ty, pointless gloves? Nope, so why are you offing the mobs that are neutral and "smart"?

6. Play something different.

Caballed players have even less of a reason to gang than normal ones. I hate gangers!

If I see a character ganging, its multi-kill time and full loots all around!

Sometimes you've gotta suspend RP for functionality. On a smaller level. No one gives a crap about mobs.

Another good time to do this is to avoid multi-killing lower leveled or naked enemies. It's just not classy to kill people over and over, without them having any chance aside from logging out. Forcing people to log out ruins the fun for everyone.

That's the problem. If we're only supposed to RP with those that always RP back... wha'ts the point in calling it a Traveler or Happy Farmer? Why not call them "the retarded Nymph, cousin of the other's who doesn't deserve to live" or "yet another bear on this forest trail."?

If they're here for atmosphere, you interact wtih teh atmosphere. I piss off a lot of people with my current project. I'm neutral and won't kill another "smart" race unless they attack me or I have reason.

Suspend RP foor functionality, yeah. But I remember getting reamed by Sirant for eating the foot of a person I killed.... cause I was a good and a common cannibal- which didn't mix. The store was closed, it was a mob, and I was starving... Why would a nature Druid kill Troliar? I can think of reasons, but none are ever used past "i want that damn staff."

You are right, some things need to be "forgotten" or "allowed" because of mechanics. Farmer Griff coming back everytime, for example. But why is Neutral/Neutral Dwarf Warrior going to kill him and not get **** for it?

Why would a Good kill anyone not evil for a reason such as "I want gold..." if I see a good kill a neutral mob for gold that is a "race", i get upset. Go kill oozes, or imps or dark treants in elium, you know they're evil and hurting the place.

But, here is my issue... why suspend RP for bad functionality? If you need food and have an option for another way of getting it... go get it. It's bad RP do just "what's quick and what can I get away with?" Further, why RP these mobs as beings? Because someone put the time into creating them, and usually a story for the area? Because RolePlay is not encouraged, it's enforced? Because we're Americans, we're lazy all day, why not put some effort in at a game? Because it shows a depth of character? Because it's fun to RP with things and hope the imms are there? Because you can now be rewarded for it? Because it's the right thing to do?

Everyone wants to be a memerable character, with a restring title, an awesome legacy, a street named after them, and millions remembering them fondly... are you going to do that by doing what everyone else does? Why was Calandra so powerful? Yeah, he was a skilled player... with insanely powerful cabal skills that allowed him to move while hidden, invis, and cabal hidden- no one could see him. Is that it? No, Calandra was a bad *** on the field, too... but off the batle field they kicked Justice outta Mirvhour, created a castle, destroyed Demons until he was told to stop, ran a Ninja only Guild... lots of RP.

Is Palwan known because she's a badass on the field? Nope, for RPing differently...and being the town ink well, everyone get's to dip their quill (new last name everytime I sign in, I swear , love ya', Rose.) But, she's a badass to be remembered because she puts the time in to be remembered, by being one to stand out.

Yekosavic, those who remember him remember him because of the strange **** he did... created a Vampire Only Guildhall, Took out 3 Chaos members at the same time, RPed with a Dead God,, but didn't brag about it because who would believe an evil elder in savant trying to out do a good elder for leader when it was a good god only tlaking to him? Wore a outfit and cloak made of squirrel pelts... ****, how many vamps did that?

Shandronas? His buddy that was always around? Karma/Ghenna? Demon bard? Give me one badass on the battlefield that didn't have a million other things going for them as to why they'r eremembed.... but eveyrone throws a fit because they can't achieve the same. A fit because they don't do it all, only aim for badass. I watched Calandra RP with mobs all the time... in 1.0, before it was even considered... I watched a buncha people RP with mobs in passing. This is a game, yes... but it's RP enforced, which is a rule... not a "maybe". I dunno, ranting and pissed 'cause SU can't seem to do a damn thing right on the court...

LOL! How true is that...
