Getting tired of these. You get in hoping to play a good game,
what do you get instead?
Real-Life RPG!
..-Now comes with uncontrollable terrorist organizations,
flaming religious behemoths, and downright indecency!
We need to set a default guideline on how to run these things.
A pretty high percentile of these admins which run them have
no loving idea how to do it. Usually resulting in a chaotic orgy
of Rockets flying left and Religious arguments flinging right.
It doesn't get any better than this.
DarkLight's 24/7 Real-Life RPG
I don't want you insulting my cereal, my morals or whatever the
word really means. If it's real life, it might as well be outside a
computer. So you're unpopular in your real life, want some friends?
Try to do it without making it clear you're compensating for
something. City and Life RPGs are not the way to go. Quite
honestly, I myself get on my computer to escape these things.
Now, before you scream at me for my monologue, and about
how this thread's been done over and over again I just want
to explain the fact that, and everyone will vouch for me on
this one, there is not even a gap of at LEAST five servers
on the active, un-passworded and un-full portion of the
server list, that does not contain some form of Roleplay in it.
Also, I know most of you might agree with me that we all,
especially the players that were around during the time,
miss our old gaming ways. But when the first pioneers of
CityRPG came ashore, they came offering Gold and Riches.
What they gave us, was Immoral Destruction. The Community
is very slowly but surely decaying partially due to the lack of
originality in servers. I miss the challenges. I miss the
Freebuilds. I miss the RPGs where authorities actually did their
goddamn jobs. Those are the kinds of things we need, not
numerous roleplays. Which enforces my other point, the fact
that starfishs spread their roots in the soil and expect to get
away with it where we mature forum-goers have planted our
roots. Where it's tough. In the Cement.
Take Second Life for example. Do you see large quantities of
people roleplaying a literral "Second Life"? If you do, do they
do it properly?
My point of the matter is, this situation is growing out of
control. Most of the time, City RPGs are the giant ballsacks
of the community. The Evil ones that generate multiple
and multiple little handicaps who eventually invade this sacred
forum of soliturdz. These douche bags we deal with are the
spawn of the Devil himself.
"Real-Life Simulating Roleplays", the only Real Life that lets
you shoot TruBluRage with a tank at Point-Blank and not
have anyone do anything whatsoever for saying "Jesus"
in the chat. Religion is not bad, it is not good. I myself
am religious, but I rarely try to enforce my opinions with
a high-caliber shell into someone's face. Whether in RL or
in BL.
In conclusion, I believe we should at least have some
sort of guideline or Anti-Jackass system for Roleplays.
Worst case scenario, we just go back to the old ignore
it and leave thing. I just felt like expressing my opinion
of the matter.
Action is either taken, or things will remain the same.
Whatever floats your boat. Discuss.
