Bad RP/Strategy (split from RP Praise!)

And Caesar, because that's horrible RP.

I think that was exactly the point he was making. :p

I hate to single people out, but I've been seeing a lot of the same sort of thing where thoughts are included in emotes. I don't mind if you emote things like *he looks at her as if he doesn't understand* (as opposed to *he wonders what she means* - which would be directly emoting thoughts) because sometimes it's just hard to convey a certain facial expression...at least it is for me.

Yep.

[Crosshair]

Well facial expressions can be pretty ambiguous... So that's just more realistic really..

That's up to roleplay IMO. Though...most characters see every single emote just because the players see them and think their character definitely did as well. So, dunno.

Sonia -- give people a break. Cantr's a slow-paced game, not some game where everyone is online 24/7. Killing people because they don't reply is really, really lame.

I second this person. It's quite annoying. Goes for all those other players out there that are on cantr every second of the day. Give those who are not, a break.

Actually, pretty much everyone who seems to be taking a part in ruling that town doesn't seem to care much for roleplay at all. To those - you know who you are - is it really too much trouble to roleplay with people? Some of you are online all the time, yet no time to roleplay a bit with the others there? :S

Agreed... it's kinda stressful, with the whole thing. Not gunna say how my characters are involved, but- well... stressful. Please actually talk, rather than walk in and out without a word. XP

Quit your whining. The only reason you two are angry is because you got thrown in jail for being stupid attempted pkers. I didn't see you guys complaining about bad RP when the situation was in reverse.

And please don't respond to this. I hate when people try to argue an invalid point, or use mean retorts just out of spite.

Deal with the consequences for your stupid actions and shut up about this.

"Your stupid actions"? We are not our characters. That's a difference you obviously do not understand.

So if I got it right we, the PLAYERS deserve no role play at all simply because OUR CHARACTERS do something YOU as the player do not like? That's really lame and this is the kind of behaviour that you really shouldn't have. It's not OK and it's pretty lame. Cantr is a game where you play with others, not all alone. I don't remember my character killing anyone -- or attempting to. Only being himself is all. The other two weren't trying to kill anyone either as far as I'm aware, those were just stories made up by your character (could be wrong here).

But anyway, like I said, it's lame. Don't punish players for what characters do. Walking in and out of a building to kill/attack without a word nor emote or attacking because people don't reply within an hour (!) is NOT what Cantr is for. Cantr's slow-paced.

PS. I'm not going to quit my "whining". This topic is here for a reason, either ignore the topic or live with it. Or perhaps start learning things for once instead of being narrow-minded and assuming that since it's not fun to hear, it has to be bad.

[Jaxon]

There's no use in arguing with a fool, and you sir are a fool. Shut up about this.

But oh, I got someone to complain about with bad rp.

Yeah these 3 jackasses one day just out of the blue decided to kidnap someone in my town by boat. The characters in my town never sleep, but apparently they were sleeping this time. Anyways, the jackasses all attacked the kidnapped character without RP, but couldn't kill it. Man it just frustrates me when people just poorly RP like that. People like that ruin Cantr!

[*Wiro]

I wasn't there with the pirate attack, so I dunno. I very much doubt it since I had some very enjoyable roleplay with two of the pirates. I am also not going to shut up. Like I said, I'm being completely on-topic here since the topic's bad RP. If you don't like it, don't read my posts. Simple as that.

PS. Fools are always better than narrow-minded hypocrites.

Not gonna post it here, but this is for you Wiro.

..thrown in jail for being stupid attempted pkers...

Even if this were true, that goes a little bit against the CR I think eh.

Also, your last post should not be in this thread. It is totally inappropriate and not on topic.

Anyways, my above quote is what I hate, people who can't seem to separate themselves from their characters, and do things in game because they as players don't agree with/like something that a character is doing OR don't like the player, or whatever OOC CRB reason they have for doing shit.

I mean, a lot of us thought Rigel was an idiot, but we didn't lock him up just cuz we knew he'd do something stupid and didn't like him as players. That should be a lesson to those of you out there who cannot separate yourself from your character, an OOG from IG.

Does anyone else see the irony in the I hate when people try to argue an invalid point, or use mean retorts just out of spite. portion?


Anyways my biggest complaint is when people reference things outside of the game as if others should know what they are talking about.

Huh? If I'm reading it right his character locked up two chars who tried to kill him. How the fuck is that a CRB?

[SekoETC]

Maybe it's because it says you're angry because you got throwing in jail when it should say you're angry because your characters got thrown in jail. And characters aren't really PKers, players can be.

Also Wiro said: "I don't remember my character killing anyone -- or attempting to. Only being himself is all. The other two weren't trying to kill anyone either as far as I'm aware, those were just stories made up by your character (could be wrong here)." You'd think that the "killers" knew better than people who weren't around to witness it. If some people kidnap someone then they remove the victim from a location, and people remaining in the location can't see what happens afterwards. If I kidnapped someone, I sure wouldn't waste time rp'ing before they are locked up or at least until I've dragged them on my ship AND jumped in myself, because if you drag someone one on board, then go writing an emote about how they do it, a chance is they have CantrSpy on and have time to log in and steal your bloody boat. Once you have them safely locked up then you can rp all you like.
