Attack and Rp

Postby Voltenion » Wed Aug 19, 2009 11:13 pm

We came up with this idea in the Portuguese Forum.

I've got a character and I see a newspawn stealing notes. Get'im!! Wait, he's just a stupid spawn... So let's try not to put him half dead with my crossbow... Alright a little kick in his ass will teach him the lesson.


You say: Give them all back, idiot! *Kicks him in his ass*!

People-->Stupid Motherf*****--> Image of a flower that is supposed to be blood, I guess-->bare fist--> 10%

You attack Stupid Motherf*** using a bare fist.

Bare fist...Bare fist?! What about my kick in the ass?

Here's the problem. That just limited my rp into hitting him with my fist. I think we can all agree that it would be better if I could decide with what I attacked.
Solution? Change it to "you attack Stupid Motherf**** using your body."

That way I have the liberty to kick someone in the ass. :P

Problem solved? No...
Instead of putting 10% I decided to go for the 0%... I just slapped him in the face.
Slap? In the face? Two limits to my rp in just one sentence.
Solution? Change it to "you attack Stupid Motherf***."

With Portuguese we chosed another word to "attack" in the second case, because it distinguishes attacking with intention to hurt or just attacking. I didn't come up with a word to use here in English but since it's your main language I think I should give you guys the honor. But I do think that attack and no word at the end may do the job.
It's so that other people understand that you didn't attack them with intention to hurt. But the slapping and the "in the face" it's just...

To implement this only the LDs have to do some work. It's easy and I hope it will be supported.

Several people have suggested changing it from "slap" to something else in the past since it does limit RP. I am not sure what the final decision was on it though.

Changing it to strike might be sufficient.

So, can this be approved? Maybe I'll post this in the LDs to see if everyone can find a way to translate it correctly.
