DO IT Wiro! KILL 'EM ALL! :twisted:


Well that's a bit harsh Wiro :roll:
Though I do admit, some of us Dutchies just can't RP

I am harsh. Most Dutch towns make me cringe every single time I play with my characters there. I'm glad one of my characters managed to sneak in a bunch of Germans in one town. The other towns are pretty much full of non-RPing people with the occasional roleplayed bit that's always just as lame and usually pretty much like the other rare roleplayed bits. This makes it rather easy to figure out the other characters of that player so I know who to bother RPing with and who not.

Oh, and I hate it how people act like nothing happened when I crash a battle axe down on their fingers. This isn't just in the Dutch region. I've seen it being done by English and Polish characters as well.

I guess they just don't bother to even read what your char's doing...
I've never seen any cruelty's like that, but if I ever encounter one like it, I'd be sure to play along nicely :wink:

I'd suggest still using the option to actually "hit them" but use less force so its like you only hit the fingers. Thats what I do, the explain in the next line or perhaps the one before it.

I don't even "faux smack" people without actually hitting them. You can't really ignore that, if you are actually playing Cantr.

THOUGH, I've seen a few people who got hit in the head with an axe and didn't even notice. :lol:

I've hit people in the waist, 'round the shoulder etc etc, not a thing but eating healing food. Makes my RP seem so useless :/

UGH. PLAYERS who can't freaking wait for me to finish typing some stuff, and just decide that what the game mechanics show is what is happening.

So I went to be a dick and made the player look stupid. :)

You "give" someone an item while actualying "throwing" it at them? Thats my favorite "mistake".

You say, "*throws an egg at Guy*"
You give Guy One Gram of Eggs.

Yeah I could try that, but then they throw in a bunch of useless, hard-to-read crap with their terrible spelling and it looks stupid. :S People should let others take their time typing out their RP text.

People who refuse to rp fights.

One character of mine tried to rp a fight with another, who merely hit them with a sword (no emotes)

Another challenged a military leader to a fist fight, saying he'd join them if beaten. Was locked up and killed without rp

Another was in an army and stepped into a cell full of prisoners.
I typed a huge speech about how I was going to free them and pressed enter.

In that time, they had killed my charrie. I think the only rp was along the lines of "Get him!"

Well I just wrote out a long lil rant about some poor rp i'd come across lately, then realised I could just do this:

I don't like how people expect you to RP JUST by game mechanics sometimes....
