A reputation with five people, not the forums, bud. You forget all of the in-game backers I have to support me if I ask them.
Weapons and ammunition add to the entire role play, we'd basically have a giant cluster-forget family RP without them, what else would we do if we had no weapons or any live-threatening scenarios?
The in-game backers are probably handicaps whom don't even know the entire scenario. Plus, it's not just going to be 5 people. And even then, five people can bring an entire operation such as a mere roleplay down easily if they set it upon themselves. Just because 5 people are speaking up doesn't mean there aren't others who agree.
You don't need Weapons or Items to roleplay, this has always been a core for serious roleplaying throughout everything nearly everything. It's almost the loving basis, it's about story and character background development. Just because you don't have weapons or items server side doesn't mean you can't defend yourself, besides in life threatening scenarios they can be easily avoidable by avoiding the confrontation all together, either running or simply stopping the fight via many other non lethal ways. Plus there's such a thing as hand to hand combat, which can be as devastating as a gun or grenade when used correctly.
You're a loving moron, it wouldn't be a family RP because take into consideration every loving family RP out there has a loving arsenal of weapons and their used constantly throughout the life span of the server. Let's also not belay Passive roleplaying which at most times is ridiculously more fun than Combat Roleplaying, living out anothers life can be more fun than fighting a war in most cases. It's a chance to quite possibly experience something new. And even if it's not the fact you don't have to be yourself is enough to draw in a large of people willing to do so.
Mounds, just stop being a idiot and get to work on the roleplay, I'm itching to see the overall outcome.
Word doesn't get spread on very well from the forum to the actual game.
Exactly why they aren't seeing the entire picture, they may as well have been told we're randomly flaming him. For all we know he could be lying to them about the entire thing which is why I'll act as if he is cause that might as well be the case.
