Good morning all,

I saw somebody bring up the question “Why can’t I Roleplay as a serial killer?”

Realize that there would still have to be a Roleplay aspect to that. You still would not just be able to kill everyone on the server whenever and wherever you want. You’d have to do it in secluded places, with no witnesses around, and you’d have to have a set agenda. (You’re killing a specific type of people, not just everyone.)

I have also seen some interesting RP's similar to this where people leave ragdolls around witch clues for Detectives, it eventually leads to the killer.

actually was in the process of making one XD

Rules need to be revamped.

They limit aggressive RP too much while not providing enough incentive for passive RP.

I mean, every time we try to do passiveRP we get some form of punishment. It's odd when you've been punished more times for doing passiveRP than for doing aggressive RP.

The last time I played this server properly you and your mates would always do "RP" in order to make roleplay difficult for everyone else on the server and would always bend the rules to get away with it. I believe that you're part of the problem but hopefully since that was a year or two ago you have changed now.

Yeah, we just don't do any passiveRP anymore. We just stick to extortion and muggings or even going cop.

The last passive RP we did was to set up a nice peaceful fishery which ended up with a 2 week ban and a PTE blacklist for all of us, despite no rules being broken.

There's so much shit in this thread I have read, and both agree and disagree with, but there's one point I'd like to point out, specifically, not for any reason, but for it being the last thing I read.

Maybe allow it only if I can take out my P90 and mow down anyone who calls me a tranny, because believe me that shit happens a lot and they're protected because it was "in character". But you know what? Even when it didn't happen in-character and happened in the admin sit, you know what? The guy got away with it. Nothing happened. 

We did.
And then we got 80% of the community who wanted it back.
