Author Topic: Ristyenok's Dystopia RP ~~ Mystery Ban?  (Read 9149 times)

Combat is done in chat and with rolls. Example:

Ninja attempts to sneak up an on the knight undetected

Ninja Rolls 90
Knight rolls: 23

Ninja sends his blade into the knights back



If the ninja lost the roll.

Knight detects the ninja and turns around attempting to swing his own sword at the ninja

Knight rolls 55

Ninja rolls 90

Ninja manages to block the sword and attempts to counter

and so on and so forth.

I'll admit that there were about 45 prompts of rules and lore when I spawned, and I naturally didn't read them all.
ok for an rp that's pretty unappealing and not many people would want to read all that

Thats basically freekilling lol

Well I mean it counts as freekilling because you're both stuffty admins who are railroading the stuff out of your roleplay. In a good server admins wouldn't ban people for going against the pre-planned events

There where not 45 prompts at all. There where four buttons and atleast 10 lines of text give or take. Most of it explaining the lore.

Im fine if some one wants to Rebel and attack the character. The point is he did not Role-play it properly. With rolls and actions.

Oh my feelings are hurt
Define good sever admins please. im sure with your stupidity you could explain it

was there a rule explaining that or what
not all roleplays in blockland are turn-based so it's kinda understandable if he didn't know

Its common sence. And no there was no rule about that.
Common sence not to freekill on a roleplay sever lol

it wouldn't be freekilling if it wern't turn-based it would be a sneak attack



This stuff works for tabletop rpgs because it's a more controlled and freeform environment managed entirely by a GM for a few players at a time. Running an entire server off of rolling a dice (with absolutely no modifiers oh my god) is a very bad idea simply because there's no context to your rolls. A 1d20 attempt to gain an upper hand on your opponent makes no sense because it's literally random. I have absolutely no idea why you would replace the actual functioning combat mechanics of the game other than you guys don't want to bother fighting back.

That's the problem I have with this sort of situation, in a sort of combat roleplay, a sneak attack would absolutely fail every time because you're calling out something that's meant to be an unavoidable attack. What you should do instead is perform actions with the already established game mechanics and form the roleplay around actions rather than pretending to perform actions. I guarantee this will make things more interesting.

A good server admin wouldn't have permanently banned upon first offense and would have taken the time and energy to at least correct your player(s) before discarding them. A good server admin would have taken precautions against being randomly attacked considering you're randomly throwing people into a jail cell for no clear reason and letting them have access to a weapon. There is no excuse to having something that does damage out in the open and still banning people for using it.

And don't bother telling me you have a strict set of rules, that's more stuff jargon for "I don't have the patience to actually make the server fun for anyone else besides me and my friends"

And don't bother telling me you have a strict set of rules
but they don't. I was literally supposed to guess that they had some elaborate D&D combat system

but they don't. I was literally supposed to guess that they had some elaborate D&D combat system

It's not even an elaborate D&D system, they're doing unmodified combat rolls which means that a fight between an experienced fighter and a stinky commoner peasant have equal footing regardless of the situation, and that either opponent can gain the upper hand randomly due to luck

It's a bad idea all around

If you dont like the sever and its contents of how we roleplay, You can leave

lol thats cute
but they don't. I was literally supposed to guess that they had some elaborate D&D combat system Mhm

It's a bad idea all around
Like i said. if you dont like the sever and its contents you can always hit the disconnect button

It was an example. There are modifiers and context to it. Common sense. You cant win a roll with fists vs a tank. Im not stupid. Logic does apply over roles

The roll system is to give some people a fighting a chance. Most of the antagonist are well armed and trained. Forcing people to just submit to their power would be railroading. Something I try to avoid.

and on about the ban. Like I said I understand that it is harsh but I was not in the mood to deal with it. I just clicked the ban button. I had been dealing with trolls alot that day. Its easier to just boot them out and deal with the bans later.



The point is that he did not even attempt to use chat when attacking and I am defending my server because he was ignorant of how combat is done.  There is also the fact he went right to the drama bored without trying to talk to me and figure out what happened.  That tells me he is just trying to start drama. He said it himself. He did not read all of the promts. He hardly spent any time in the server to know how or what was going on. We were having an event that included ALL of the players on the server. He did not try to figure out what was going on. He assumedh e was in prison. And there was one guard that was not even a guard
