There's a difference between RP, RPG and a Minigame.

[General Nick]

I've been surfing around here (as usual), and I'm seeing lots of people throwing these terms around a lot and decided to clarify on what the hell they are and what you do.

Most if not all the facts listed here are out of opinion and based on Blockland only.

• RPs - Role Plays - Role Plays are where you act out things but just merely in form of text. Lets take a good example of a city RP server (NOT CityRP).
  
  Guy: Hi weapon dealer!
  Dealer: Hi! Want this gun for $5?
  Guy: Sure! (hands $5)
  Dealer: Here's your gun! (Gives gun)
  Guy: Thanks!
  
  Notice when the guy handed the dealer $5 I wrote in parentheses the action. He didn't literally send him $5, he didn't use some mod to transfer him $5 or anything. It was all out of texted roleplay. Of course the server host, if he/she has a brain, will put a limit on what you can/can't do in roleplay.
  
  
• RPGs - Role Playing Games - These are basically RolePlays, but with some sort of Add-On involved to create in-depth Role-Playing, i.e. really crappy cash mods and CityRP(G). People most often mistake this with Minigames (dude this'll be good for my war rpg!!!!!!!!) or Role-Plays (CityRP).
  
  
• Minigames - Minis, DMs, etc. - Obviously, minigames. Zombie Mod, TDM, Free For All DM, you name it. These, are really what is supposed to be said in Add-On topics (Hey I can use this in my War Minigame!). Often mistakened with RPG and very, very rarely, RPs.
  
  
  There is a difference.

Yes.

[Chrono]

Yep, you got it right.
Don't forget, that if you make some sort of RPG mod, don't release it. We only need 1-3 server(s) with that RPG mod (However, if more than one, have them linked by a database), not 15. We learned this from CityRP, hopefully.

Does annoy me a bit.

[General Nick]

Also I hope to God no one starts copying "Live a Life". The only two ones that you should join is Zoneark's and The___Haze/Hero

Also make a GUI, as Wedge said.

[General Nick]

Bump, because some people are still stupid.

I hope people see this. When I was working on my Moon Island RPG (many of you saw it in Gallery awhile back) people would come to my server and say "^jobs" and that other CityRP stuff. People need to get educated.

[Wedge]

Add ^jobs to the filter

[CC]

Once I had an RP with Chaseyqurt. Multiple times, dumbasses would come in and say '^jobs'. Then a few said something like 'this isnt an rp u noob'

Banned them gladly.

[Chrono]

Add ^jobs to the filter

Haha, good idea.

[Nicole]

Isnt an RPG not exactly an RP, but it contains something like no story, its just a game, but has RP behind it? say WoW, thats an RPG, but an RP is when you just go around and use text actions.

[Maximum]

I hate it when noobs come on my server and type '^jobs'.

'No, this isn't a CityRP, now gtfo!'

[Makingblah]

So what about RPGs made by the variable add-on?

[Awasp]

you need to add "RPS" to the list, its a role playing server.
