Role Playing; How to improve?

Role Playing
------------

I would like to request the attention of all of the players to this topic.
We all seem to enjoy role playing, why else would we be playing a role playing game?

However, offer you all a chance to give your input on how we could possibly improve role playing for all of us.

Any idea or suggestion, complaint or disliking? I want to know about them!
Give a reaction to how we could possibly improve the role playing experience for all the players.

Do you like the way things are handled by RPM?
Do you think certain things limit the option to Role playing?

Anything at all, let your opinion be seen. I can't change what i don't know!!

No one is going to complain about anyone on here, specially an RPM. Why? Simply, they won't be handled with fairness, the RPM(s) will most likely hold a grudge and not do their job when they should. So, yeah.

Point taken, for those that wish to complain about someone, i ask them to send a PM instead and i will handle it without revealing the name.

Well, most people don't have membership, I suggest they just ask to speak to you in game, in private or via Telepathy. Some RPM spy on private talks.

Things we dont like about how RPMS handles things? What RPMs? I havent seen one onf the game in a while now... And the two active ones tend to RP with themselves and leave the rest of us hanging out to dry... Sync and Sesha... I notice how both of you seem to be rather busy doing other stuff constantly. to busy to help people on the game, but you are never to busy to RP with each other... Sync you are the Owner... And yet when no other RPM or RPM II is around and peoplke ask you for help. I constantly hear you tell them "I dont handle RPM business or GM business... I just moderate staff" This... Is bull shit... If you are going to give yourself ranks in game and RP then you need to start RPMing when your staff is failing the game. for that matter... As a more active player since you are the host, you should be RPMing and GMing all the time. Your staff isnt doing what they need to do... As the OWNER it is your duty to YOUR GAME to handle the players...

You know what would make RPing better? Actual RPMs that actually do there job... And are doing it OFTEN... As in ACTIVE RPM PLAYERS.

Another thing i dont like about how RPMs handle things when they are online... And thats a once in a blue moon chance occurance there, I hate how RPMs come on and say how they are to tired to do something with players. "Oh im to tired to RP right now" Tired my ass... It takes very little energy to move your eyes back and forth and watch a RP... You dont even have to RP with the players. Alot just want RP status points. Or a story read... If you are to tired to do your job then you need to GTFO or give up your job to someone else. Or both.

Speaking of RP stories. As i mentioned before... I think for lesser ranks like Marks or Priest, ETC, players should have to make RP stories. These ranks require little RPing to get and the stories dont have to have as much detail. However. Larger ranks such as Charmed One, or Source, or Elder, should NOT require stories. In turn through RPing and game play, our RP status and RP skills should be enough for us to get the rank. As i player i have better things to do with my time then sit around every wipe trying to think of new and interesting stories that will wow the RPMs (Whenever they can be bothered to actually do there job) So i can get a rank. And besides that with ahving to train and all... Its not worth it.

Some ranks are better left to be explained in a main story or game plot. For instance, there are 3 Charmed Ones... It is difficult to make a story that involves three people. And even if you just make it about you, eventually it will have to merge into three other peoples stories. Instead... It would be easier to just have certain ranks have a portion of the Main Story to place there story. A lesser version that explains them getting the rank. And then it is optional but recomended that after they get the rank, in there down time between RPing and training, that they make a RP story.

Also as i have mentioned to you before, i feel that training limits the option to RP. If it is a choose between RPing and training, mostly everyone chooses to train. It is easy for you when you can just give yourself however many levels you want, and give yourself whatever rank you feel like having on this version. Thats if you even decide to play on this version... But for the rest of us. We have to spend hours upon hours training. RPMs arent on often enough, and when they are they seldomly watch RPs. And on the occasion that they do, they dont normally give RP bonueses. Which correct me if im wrong... But isnt the bonus supposed to be a reward for RPing instead of training? I would rather be really strong and RP alittle then be really weak and RP alot... Other wise my character gets killed faster and it gets annoying.

Reincarnation and losing 5% is also something i dont really like. It is a small amount... but in general... It is still annoying. Making me want to train more so i can die less or not all all. again, stopping me from RPing.

Also i agree with Marice... The immaturity levels on this game are raising at a staggering level. On ALL levels of staff... a staff membered yelled at another player in game because the letters in there name was to dark... WTF is that? And it wasnt like black or something to dark to see... It was a dark blue... And she didnt feel like helping him untill he changed his color because it was giving her a headache...

And there are many more examples. Even some that go as far as RPMs denying other people for positions because of person grudges against people. Which is unacceptable period. A game that runs like this is likely to fail. It is collapsing on itself... hopefully my opinion is heard and the opinion of others on the game and it is fixed...

Oh and P.S. That little comment you made about "Anything at all, let your opinion be seen. I can't change what i don't know!!" You know... You know all to well.... We tell you all the time. you are just to busy ignoring us to actually listen to what we have to say. This isnt the first time these topics and many others have been brought up to you And not just by myself... But the player base... And assuredly... this wont be the last either...

As far as i know no RPM is denying anyone because of a personal grudge, instead i tell them to deny some people. Because i wanted to run the last wipe with different staff for a change. Which apparently didn't run that succesfull as hoped for.
