Why not? It's a roleplay server, no?

The issue is that people don't know how to roleplay.

Strict gun laws do not help in real life or in Limelight, pallio. Whenever I'm president I throw out some very lax gun laws similar to the non-commie U.S. states and everyone is too busy jerking off to their guns to shoot people. It causes more community activity and the only ones affected are the power hungry cops that think all guns should be illegal and get upsetti they can't arrest everyone for it. Also, the strict gun laws just encourage more shootouts on LL because criminals have a reason to run from the cops. If they're gonna get arrested for 15 minutes just for possession, they might as well try their luck at gunning down the cops and getting away with it.

And what's wrong with us going Serious RP? We already enforce our rules more seriously than some Serious RP servers and we ENCOURAGE that level of RP when possible. Why let a silly title stop us when all it does is adds a majority of positives?

Because people on here don't use /mes and /its nearly enough for that, and microphone use is enabled - which completely removes immersion. Also doesn't help when people RP as though they haven't already been handcuffed.

But that isn’t serious RP? There are plenty of Serious RP servers that are successful that require the bare minimum of RP skills to be on them. So, in reality we really shouldn’t have a tag. Just be called City RP so we can add good content and not be limited by a stupid title.

@"Faustin" How does player count factor in what a Serious RP server does?

I mentioned nothing of player count, what I meant when I said that was the majority of the player base won’t understand how to role play to level of SeriousRP

It is Serious Roleplay. Reference Taco 'N' Banana, Ethereal Networks, etc. 100% of all actions in roleplay are done with /me, /it and admin /ev (event), and are performed in vivid - sometimes excessive - detail. Hearing someone moan over their microphone about how they've been perforated by 20 odd bullets definitely doesn't make the 'serious' cut, especially when a 30-ish looking man has the voice of a teenager. That in itself removes any aspect of immersion - which is the goal of serious roleplay in the first place.

There are some of your suggestions in this thread, for example training police, whitelisting police etc. - personally I would love to see such systems implemented into the gamemode, but the playerbase simple wouldn't cope, you have to remember a very large chunk of the player base is below 15 (hence why a lot of SERIOUS rp servers have an age limit), who would rather run around minted and armed to the teeth than roleplay passively. Which is also why I doubt a police whitelist system would work as a lot of people don't have the patience to sit through training, they want to play as a cop so they should be able to. If they fail to do their job properly the chief has a /demote command for a reason, if they fail to do their job to the point where RP is being disrupted then staff can step in.

We shouldn't be restricted to what content we add based on a tag, granted. It is Limelight's server, therefore it is up to Limelight to interpret Semi-Serious in their own way. Although I do agree removing any tag full stop would solve a lot of problems.
