So is it more annoying when Newspawns wait to be adressed and asked a name or is it more annoying as a Newspawn that nobody cares?

I find the first to be "bad RP" because people assume you a sleeper. That can get you killed in some places you know!

If someone doesn't do anything, I assume it's a sleeper. If someone does something but doesn't speak, I assume it's an obnoxious mindless drone played by someone who doesn't know how to play a role. I'd rather see everyone who knows better to say or emote something when they are spawned so that people know the character belongs to an active player. You don't have to go "Hi my name is Matt, anyone got a job for me?" - even *opens his eyes* would be better than nothing.

bah.

lrn2typemorethantwowords!! I can't even be bothered to read all of this spam >.< grr, I'm being annoying, eh? Ummm... whatever.

Please, *cringes* don't bring stereotypes in the game, and say more than just two words before you press enter.


And Dudel, that's a bit OOC. :roll: Besides, I can probably use them as one of my pawns somehow.

I expect to be greeted when mine spawn. If they're not, I assume the place is a dump and don't play the character. The last batch I did, I spawned them all and only played the ones that were noticed.

EGAD DOUG! You are part of the problem! Sometimes I greet people, it depends on my mood. Usually newspawns get kinda lost in the middle of things

Code: Select all

Dude says, "BLAH BLHA BLHA BLHA BLAH BLAH"
Dude says, "BLAH BLHA BLHA BLHA BLAH BLAH"
Dude says, "BLAH BLHA BLHA BLHA BLAH BLAH"
You see a man you've never seen before

Let me make this a little more clear.

Code: Select all

Dude3 says, "BLAH BLHA BLHA BLHA BLAH BLAH"
Dude1 says, "BLAH BLHA BLHA BLHA BLAH BLAH"
Dude2 says, "BLAH BLHA BLHA BLHA BLAH BLAH"
You see a man you've never seen before
Dude3 says, "BLAH BLHA BLHA BLHA BLAH BLAH"
Dude2 says, "BLAH BLHA BLHA BLHA BLAH BLAH"
Dude1 says, "BLAH BLHA BLHA BLHA BLAH BLAH"


That was my implication, thank you. Although, I do have a character that talks a little too much. :lol:

I've another one!

In game inpatients! This goes for newspawns who NEED ATTENTION (annoyingly common and tied with my other comment) people who don't wait for others to respond and my "favorite" the take everything while you're sleeping thief.

Those are usually all tied together. :cry:

The first bit I don't mind, like when it's part of their character trait to be that way. Instead of "hello?" "hello?" "is anyone awake?" "hello?" <--THat bugs. But as a personality trait of course impatience is fine.
