RE: Rant: Roleplayers
Oh my god I love you.
But, in response to your rant I have one of my own...
I apologize if any of the following is incorrectly spelled or has grammatical errors or is incorrectly capitalized, as I am doing this on iphone.
I must agree with cell when he states that we have come quite a long ways from 1.0 to 2.0. In 1.0, it indeed was a rare sight to see anyone roleplaying until the last few months of 1.0. for more information regarding those types of roleplay and other examples please see gecko's Epic Moments of Roleplaying Epicness. all of that was completely impromptu and have no script or previous lore. of course some of it was not recorded because gecko squid started recording late. feel free to look it up on youtube.
On he subject of the emotive battle, I agree that many people can't utilize this roleplay simply because many people just simply whish to win. in actual combat, the decision comes down to basic skills, not some pre determined out come or ego fed unrealistic wins. I for 1 have never ever ever been a fan of the emotive battle, as newer players cannot jump in whenever they wish. Emotive battle roleplay requires an extensive vocabulary and wide open mind and an ability to lose. the average participant of the usual role play with in kiwike does not contain those traits. meny are new with this type of playing. and I personally am a visual person. I can't enjoy not seeing the outcome of my battles or encounters just simply because somebody has this little script next to the computer. minecraft is about building, mining and surviving, not reeding a cool little story ( and yet I sometimes find myself writing a little stories on the forums), however epic the story might be. that's just my 2 cents on the subject.
Oh, and sotdrp had way too many commands. I was much more of the titans land player myself, with som american colonization or maybe some life of a peasant thrown in... All with pro RP'ers, of course. you can still cach me hosting a few games with MMH.
