26 so far (including his sometime asshole attitude) knows when to switch on and off serious mode. He holds his shit and knows when to cut someone some slack. He’s focused on the player, not the rules. Anyone that takes rules over RP or fair fun is a terrible community member.

"anyone that takes rules over rp or fair fun is a terrible community member" so ur telling me breaking rules is a-o-kay in ur book if its fair fun

Me and another guy built a bank (Mostly him tbh) and it was too large for even us to split it between us and when we requested a prop extension we were told no cuz rules.

Eventually a based admin gave us a prop extension and the rp worked really well, people enjoyed it and it had  really good feed back from the community online at the time.

But by sticking to the rules as if they are the holy word of god set in stone and almost being scared to deviate and work with the community on it the admins prevented a very different and interesting Roleplay from happening. 

In short the staff need to be less dependent on set systems and use their initiative and own drive.

What if someone like me, project etc. has the maximum props but for whatever reason may need more?

See i don't believe props should be restricted as much as they are. REPs should have rewards and incentive to gain them. Honestly my only incentive for REPs is more props. Which is not right.

Yet you are still aiming for that goal. You may think that is wrong, yet you are striving for that goal still.

Its not my incentive to RP as i genuinely like to RP whether that entails a REP or not as majority of the time a lot of us are not rewarded with REPs for our RPs. All together though great builds help with immersion of rps immensely, when you see someones amazingly beautiful build you can easily get lost in the RP involving said build rather than doing the same RP in a much smaller, much uglier, and even unfinished build.

You don't need props to RP. You can make a great Gun Dealer RP with a car and a well developed character.

Its hard to really throw yourself into the universe of Rockford when when you have to buy Chinese food from a guy with 4 tables, a desk, and some randomly placed plants in a basically empty store - 'restaurant'. Versus going to a delicately designed restaurant with hours of preparation and planning.

That shitty chinese restaurant may have a better RP in itself, while the nicely built one has a group of minges running it.

I understand the build inst the entire RP but its naive to say that a good build cant take a boring rp to the next level of immersion. Alot of my best RP memories are in some of our community members amazing builds! And with such prop limitations its really hard to create an immersive setting to harbor a great RP.

Not really. I've seen players with 20 props build a better dupe than most. Not to mention most RP's barely require any props. A pile of cars can make an area look like a junkyard or a few prefab buildings can look like a port if done right.

All this being said REPs still deserve some incentive and there has been plenty of suggestions to overhaul what all REPs can offer. Maybe instead of limiting the abilities to create an immersive space we can conjure new ideas to improve the REP system so its not just offering people props and instead letting people use props in a less restricted manner to better conduct RPs thus earning more REPs!

Props being part of a REP reward not only adds more of a reason for a person to stay, but also stops wannabe minges from having too many props to do something stupid with over 20 props. Granted that can still happen, but luckily minges aren't known for their intelligence. Wanting people to have more props more freely only takes away one of the bigger reasons (One even you admit to) to gain more REP's and stay on the community longer. REP's are a privilege on this server more than most servers around this level of RP allow. Yes, they are a big part of RP, but they are not required. We give enough props for the beginning to just add a little bit of detail. If they want to upgrade the hot dog stand to a pub or a diner, they can either work with others or gain more REP's.
