Discussion: Remembering the Fugue

[Ork]

Yep, we call that a consequence. Majority of people reciprocate RP based on what they're given. If you're a dip shit, don't be surprised to receive it in return. This goes for death RP too, don't be surprised if you use it as a crutch that other people reciprocate the effort.

Lazy gets lazy RP. Tired of lazy RP? Don't be lazy.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying you've literally stated how you're willing to break rules because someone isn't half as good/willing a RPer as you.

"Jail time" isn't necessarily "okay sit in this cell and do nothing for 8 hours until Commander John logs on"

Cherry picking my words isn't really endearing. At no point am I condoning rule breaking, you're going to have to remind me what rule you're alluding to.

RP has consequences, and that's part of the fun of it. At no point does RP cease. If all you ever do is *nods* at people and run after murdering someone in the streets, you shouldn't expect people to bend over backwards to accommodate your fun.

RP is a two way street, and ultimately you get back what you put in.

[Kreydis]

And you're picking cases of people that aren't even roleplaying, they're literally just griefers at that point and I'm not arguing otherwise. But should someone do something besides murder and then run constantly you would be blatantly breaking 4 and 2. You need a bit of a line of separation when it comes to RPers and griefers, because if the quality of criminal RP you're experiencing is so low their should be some reports flung around.

@Cortex: Lol.

First things first, regarding the side-discussion. Having been a part of two major guard factions for more than a year, the side discussion about jail is unnecessary, because it is literally possible for anyone to escape from the jails in both Cordor and Wharftown unless there is someone inside monitoring you 24/7 and actively prohibiting you from escaping (in which case you are not being deprived of RP). Edit: And if they kill you to keep you there, the 24 hour rule kicks in and you're free to respawn and go do your thing

Next, I will second the sentiment that I don't believe an increased XP loss on death is necessary. Versus other players is fine (I'm not interested in griefer arguments- griefers are not valid subjects where the rules are concerned, because we have rules to deal with griefers), but there is still a great deal of the server that I haven't explored that I will never feel incentivized to explore as a player if there is a chance that dying once or twice in a few seconds will undo one or two weeks of real life work.

Assuming that the design direction is to encourage players to explore, increasing XP loss vs. NPC's has the opposite effect in my case. The respawn penalty strikes me as appropriate enough.

I've been captured plenty. Never had an instance where there weren't people around for RP while I was in the cell, and generally, justice is quick on this server. Most guard organizations know how to delegate, so you don't spend a day waiting for so and so, and if you did... just don't eat? Your character will die in about 3 hours from starvation and such.
