No offense here, but just because you're a big character doesn't really mean you RP well... I mean... You do, but only in some aspects. Every time Jericho was about to be killed, you would just say 'he got in a helicopter and escaped'
I don't think that's very good role-playing really.
The point is, Jericho should have died much earlier. As role-players, we've given the character too much warning, and at this point it's a 'shoot on sight' deal so you've pretty much killed off the character anyway... Unless he does something indirect. This should never really happen with a character, but when it does don't complain if someone sees you in a street and blows your brains out. At this point that's the realistic thing.
If I see Brock again, he dies.
But yes, you did contribute a lot to the story and you made it fun at times... So did a lot of people. No one really gets special recognition for that. Only when you become a regular player, and eventually admin, will anyone mention you.

And I don't think you've read all 324 pages. Just because there's no recognition in the 'In-Game Events' doesn't mean you weren't talked about.

I think a lot of people do not understand why Brock hasn't died yet, if I kill brock off then I kill myself off; Brock brings a lot of important events to the bluzone, and I feel it is safe as forget to say he is the main antagonist. Now, Brock won't die now, but I promise he will later. Much much later, when it is the right time to kill him off.

I'm just going to say that an antagonist that constantly harasses people and bombs things isn't that interesting and gets old very quickly. But that's just me.

Look how arrogant you are.
Why are you thinking that you're so important that you need to be in every thread update or that your character is the "main antagonist".

Like Audax said, constantly bombing and harassing people stops becoming menacing and starts getting annoying.
That bombing that killed Abram was not very good roleplaying.

Seriously, it pisses me off.

i love how all the important stuff i do

This alone really irritates me.


Stop acting like your character is the only one that matters.

[Awdax]

It was never menacing, it was always an "obstacle in the way".

Stop acting like your character is the only one that matters.

I remember back when Brock was a normal survivor and Ceist was attacking the Survivor Base as the Mutalid. Somewhere between that point and him being the "antagonist" is where his character was somewhat a living embodiment of the "This role-play is not about you" rule; but I never did anything because it wasn't too bad. Another example is how he would go on to create multiple characters that were somewhat "obsessed" with Brock, and would always talk about him and try to shift focus back to him with these throw-away characters.

Exactly.
Ninja guy is breaking the "This is not a roleplay about you" rule and getting away with it. Like you said, the other characters he made just made the focus on Brock, trying to make it all about that character. It needs to stop.

Ninja guy needs to stop making the roleplay all about him and let other players have their own stories.
Please remember that this is not a roleplay about you, stop acting like it is.

Lol, Jericho just started a stuffstorm.

I never intended on doing anything about it though, or insist that you do because it's not a big deal. It's easily ignorable.

Like I ever said that Brock Jericho is that important.
I am not taking any chance for other players for creating stories, nor am I harming anybody by having my own story.
A smart person once told me that roleplaying is better when substories rule over the main one.

Also, allow me contradict you on

this is not a roleplay about you, stop acting like it is.

Most of the admins (usually super admins) try to make there character the most important usually. They get to bring their characters to the top and change the story to be about them often. If my eyes are correct, Abram Terger is in half the events in the topic post. And when we get to be in a big event post, it's usually just being attacked by a mutalid, or finding coffee in a machine.
I proved to you that I can be important without being special, a friend, or anything regarding admin, and you despise me for that. A lot of people (cool people) like having Brock Jericho there.

This isn't a roleplay about me, and if you would open your eyes you would see that. If in your mind I am trying to change the roleplay to "Brock Jericho in the Brockzone" then you are absolutely wrong. Every game needs an antagonist, and I just become one. I know I said "its safe to say im the main antagonist" and it is safe because nobody else is being the most evil character. If you want to replace me, fine, but you don't have to jump to conclusions and say that I'm controlling the roleplay, which I am not.

I can't believe we are seriously arguing over an online roleplaying game, and how important the characters are.
I'm going to say it again, This isn't a roleplay about me, It's a roleplay that has me in it. So please get over it.

[Electrk]

The difference between Abram and Brock is that Kaphonaits never really called his character the main antagonist nor did he complain when an update post didn't include him.

You even said yourself that you think Brock is the main antagonist. Don't act like you're not trying to make this about you when you obviously are. All Jericho ever did was talk about Brock and all you ever do is try to make Brock do something big or harass people.

Also, that coffee machine post was obviously a joke and you have to be a loving moron not to understand that.

The admins never try to make their characters main characters. There are also no main characters, it's an RP about everyone. If you want your character to be more important, develop him better.

All you did was suddenly "herp derp gonna bomb everyone" which is not a good way to develop a character.

Pretty sure it's been discussed on how the Admins are the "most important." They don't really try, it's just that character is usually well-put-together and interesting. There is no main story-line or main characters. People build their own story, some are more noticed than others. I think it's safe to say some people try too hard.

Here we go:

I do my best to involve people- it should the the role of an admin to try and be sure people are enjoying themselves. It's why I like to have Peter as a nice and approachable guy. While he was in a hurry when Rave came up to him, I didn't completely shut the guy out and run off. Even my Mutalid is friendly, should you approach and treat it correctly. Just another creature trying to survive in the Bluzone- not necessarily a monster. By saying that I'm borderlining meta-gaming there, though...

Not much planning goes into Bluzone events- a lot of it is spur of the moment or results of earlier happenings. That is, personally, how I like it. While I have a level of control over everything, (and I need to because I'm the host) almost always I just let things roll. It keeps things fresh and un-predictable, there's no pre-destination for anything or anyone.

Thing is; if you want to get involved, go ahead. The thing about getting involved is people only notice the big things; when everyone is gathered around something. That's not how to get into a storyline or make close roleplay friends. You need to catch the survivors outside of these events- talk to them, communicate. I cannot begin to stress how important it is to share stories with eachother. You learn more about everyone, and sometimes even yourself. It can be a great way to build your character!

And that's where the admins differ from a lot of other players.

The administrator team aren't really 'main characters' but just more developed ones. Their characters don't just have backstory, they have history in the Bluzone. Take Abram Terger, for example. These players spent the time to sit down and exchange stories, they decided to take their character building beyond setting a name. Kaphonaits, Ceist and RingsOfSaturn weren't admins when the Bluzone started- they all earned it.

Being strictly honest, I don't like the whole main story thing. The Bluzone doesn't follow one story- because there are usually a lot happening at once. With the new areas, I might even increase the player count. You'll be able to select your spawn point so the Survivor Base isn't so congested- you'll have new safezones to camp in, new areas to explore, new enemies to face and potentially more atmosphere.

I can't force players to roleplay, and I can't make them do something a certain way- only thing I can do is support the ones who do it well.
