Introduction .
Roleplay In short, it's acting as if your character was a person in real life. Before you start playing, think of who you want your character to look like, and ask yourself a few questions: Do you want to roleplay as a male or female? How old do you want to be? Do you want to be American, Russian, or maybe Chinese? Do you want to keep yourself fully legal, or face the possible consequences and go illegal? Design your character in any way you want to. Also remember that you can't change your race in real life - for example, if your character is black, you may not suddenly begin roleplaying as a white person/me and /do: /me is used to describe any actions your character may perform, ranging from simply winking towards someone, through spinning a key in the car's ignition, to stabbing a person with a switchblade./me raises his left hand above his head, indicating the crowd that he wants to say something.John Smith raises his left hand above his head, indicating the crowd that he wants to say something. /do is used to describe or explain something that cannot be described with a /me, for example what clothes you're wearing, the fact that there's a pistol laying on the backseat of your car, or that a window in someone's house is broken (of course only if that really has happened)./do There are two security cameras attached to the ceiling of the gas station, aimed at the pumps.There are two security cameras attached to the ceiling of the gas station, aimed at the pumps. ((John Smith)) /me and /do are always used to describe actions other than communicating with each other. So it might happen that someone will start a fight with you, for whatever logical reason. Earl Williams launches his fist towards William's face in an attempt to knock him out. Remember that we would like all players to roleplay in a fair and fun manner. This means that we embrace people who do not roleplay-to-win , as we call it. This means that players will undergo every possible way to avoid losing a situation, which usually ends up in them Powergaming , but we'll get to that later. William Silver gets surprised by the sudden blow and stumbles backwards, eventually falling down onto the ground, unconscious. William now has the chance to describe his current situation, in which he will use /do . His body would be laying on the pavement, seemingly lifeless, with his eyes closed. (William Silver). Now Earl decides to leave the scene, people are gathering around William and are calling an Ambulance to give him medical assistance. .
Powergaming /me throws a quick punch towards the man's jaw, knocking him out. /do you would be knocked out. This is considered as powergaming , as you might of wanted to roleplay, for example, getting hit but stumbling backwards and landing on a wall, staying on your feet. By not letting the other party respond to your reaction, and deciding that his action would automatically succeed, is considered powergaming . /me throws a quick punch towards the man's jaw, attempting to knock him out. /do would I succeed? As you can see here, the player is giving the other a chance to respond, and is even asking him for one. While we understand this might be the best way for newer players to roleplay, a lot of our veteran players just roleplay without the /do . We therefor also encourage everyone to do so. /me throws a quick punch towards the man's jaw, attempting to knock him out. Player 2: /me would attempt to dodge the punch, but moves too slow and gets hit in his cheek instead. Usually when this happens, the player in question informs the other party that all resistance should be shown in a /me during the roleplay. /me throws a quick punch towards the man's jaw, attempting to knock him out. Player 1: /do Any resistance during this roleplay may be done in a /me after my actions. And Player 2 will continue from there. /me would attack Player 2 from behind, holding him in a choke-hold. Player 2: /me would hear the man coming with his supersonic hearing and move 180 degrees, knocking him out with a single kick. As you can see, realistically Player 2 would not have seen the attack of Player 1 coming, because he would be facing the other way. Therefor it would be unfair to roleplay the attack failing, (and even countering it with a single kick).
5 people have positioned themselves on top of you, holding you to the ground. You decide to kick them all off you and run away.
You have been tased by an officer, but get up and keep running.
Someone is aiming a gun at you and you decide to rush at him with your bare fists.
Someone drives you over with a car and you decide to stand up without any problems.
.
Brawling WRONG: RIGHT: Any movements or acts without the use of a /me and/or /do are considered Powergaming, as you are forcing actions upon a player without their knowledge and consent. This is to keep Roleplaying fun for both parties. We would like to remind people that brawling scriptwise is not the only way to roleplay fights, and we would like to encourage players to manually roleplay them by using the designated commands. This leads to more heavier RP and more interesting and diverse situations. .
