I would like to see something serious going on. I am up to anything, within reason of my character's skills.
Post anyone?
Some advice:
Don't make every admin request 'gear'. You don't just 'get' gear/chyen. You gotta earn it, and we don't need -your- chyen. ;)
Keep within your bounds. Don't assume actions of other players or organizations. If <person> or <organization> didn't take such actions, don't act for them. If you're spreading rumors that's one thing, playing as fact is another.
Expect consequences, not that i want to deter you, consequences make it fun.
Yes there are things uncoded and in order to make use of those skills, you may need admin assistants. Ask and we'll say no. (j/k) But I personally am more than willing to observe any RP, but don't expect cash and prizes in trade for RP. :)
Have fun guys/gals.
Pull them into your RP. Use them in your emotes and poses, give em names, etc. Fights, deals, etc. You can get the RP going without having admin create a somewhat pointless NPC...
Just a thought.
*clears her throat* I said my peace.

Thing is newbies do not stand a chance of killing who has been there awhile such as Devon, Lucifer, Casey.
Why cause their stats would suck compared to theirs.
I seen 13 online tonight and out of 13 I seen Raynor, Lucifer, Gally, Quay out. Where was the rest of you?
RP does not include only socializing, but alot of things. Yes even player killing! I know my character is a whimp but I rp her to be a whimp. Fighting is not everything.
Hardcore gangs would be nice. Even thieves, net runners who might sell information to who ever, socialized people. cyberdocs, medics, Security teamers, Cops, judges.
Thing is I would love to get into some heavy RP. Thing is everyone is afraid obivously to get out and RP! They hide in their apartments/cubes you name it. Javatrix is not the only hang out, though it is nice.
Get out lets all RP! Stop hiding!
I do know if things got going and things started coding as we need it your going to attrack alot of new comers and alot of rp'ers.
I know on else moos that people sit around complain how boring things are. Hell gangs are popping up all the time, corps are going after gang war fare. Peeople going around trying to stop corps, trying to out do the other, trying to kill the gang members.
Hell even my character was involed in a gang. You know what? It was the best RP I had in a long time!
So once again I ask the admin to see if they can code things as we need it if time permits. If not no biggy. We can rp it out until it does get coded.
There is money out there in the game. You just got to know where to get it at. Hell you can start your own corp. Your own buisness, You can be come a crooked cop and work under the table without anyone knowing it. Have a good corp as a cover but be like the mafia behind it.
I am willing to do any thing. Hell even get a new character if need be. I am excited about the idea of all this. We just need to implent getting things going.
Your sweet and very sexy Cyberdoc.
And on a non-canine note, RP is good.
Whenever I'm available I'll happily tinker along with anything that's going on, how-ever, I have a couple of inky dinky guidelines to add to Stones suggestions…
Firstly, be aware that the Sindome world is carefully constructed and monitored for theme continuity. There's nothing worse than having to step on a player created plot because they've chosen to 'create' something that doesn't fit into the theme in the slightest. There is a shit load to do around your character and other players, try to avoid creating huge corporations, criminal syndicates and amazing technologies as props for your RP -unless- you are sure they are supported and approved by admin. By all means set up your own criminal syndicate, huge corporation, baseball team, nursery group, but do -not- create VAST NPC powergroups without getting some admin support on the matter. It diddles with the details already in place and often leaves us with little choice but to find some IC way to destroy your work.
Do -NOT- use SIC to create NPC's etc of -ANY- kind. Your SIC is a -very- IC thing and is ICly attached to your character in many ways, so, when you try to create a group of NPC's chatting on the SIC, what you're actually ICly creating is the impression of a fruit and nut case who rapidly changes his SIC ID and talks bullshit to himself. It looks -really- silly to the various deckers monitoring the SIC-nodes...
As with Stone, I really -really- don't want to discourage RP, I'm just advising the use of a little common sense.
I'm sure I had another point to make, but it's slipped away...
And that applies to -anything- IC. :wink:
...ummm...yes...on SIC stuff...umm...what?
Quote: from Nicadeamus on 9:42 pm on Mar. 21, 2001[br]I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, but if WJF players are going to start assuming that when i switch SIC aliases they can track me without having an IC WJF hacker do the work, I will get a little bit mad. I'd concider it unfair…I would have no problem at all if an admin was RPing WJF Ops and played it out, but a player just going on it...I'd feel a little more than cheated....ummm...yes...on SIC stuff...umm...what?
Gee, don't you think we'd consider that cheating as well?
your RP doesn't have to have a beginning and an end, it's as simple as creating activity. Nic makes clothing, now of course you could do it yourself but what makes you go to Nic?? Cuz he's creative with the clothing, and it creates interaction. You don't need to go to him, but the chance to interact pulls you to him.
Gangs require a playerbase (in my opinion), You can't make a gang with 2 people. Then it's just a duo…
And I've seen A LOT of people come through wanting to play the info game, which is cool. it's an aspect that is hard to get into, you gotta get a lot of contacts which also requires a playerbase.
What Would your Character Do? (WWCD)
I bet by being introspective you can come up with some stuff that don't need code.
Do something unique. Yer in a city of millions, what would a city this size have? What kinds of things from the past would carry through the ages? modify them to fit now?
And know that the admin are still playin plots. Gally had a strange fit in the 'trix the other day...but it won't all be thrown at you all at once. Anyway, enough of me...i'm DONE! (for now)
So I say this.
Help a Newbie! Show them you care!
Make sure you guys post in the best spots. Otherwise the topic headings aren't going to be of any help to newbies. Thanks :P
Anyways, I like Tanka's idea, I was a newbie 3 or 4 times (as hard as that is to believe, just ask luc how big of a pain i was) who wants to read through all of that, gets boring, much like long posts on this board. But having vets training newbie's a little good idea
*remembers when Ray asked a question 27 times, getting the same answer from me EVERY time… and still didn't get it*
...and Stonemonk's avatar looks like a porn stud in mid-ejaculatory posturing close-up wadblowing action...
...I need sleep...
Stonemonk's icon looks like he's being reemed up the ass with a 12" black dildo. Duh
*sigh* ...dissapointed in deed.
the list-
1. Supplication - awaiting an authority's decision.
2. Deliverance
3. Crime followed by vengeance
4. Vengeance taken - kindred upon kindred
5. Pursuit
6. Disaster
7. Falling prey to cruelty or misfortune
8. Revolt
9. Daring Enterprise
10. Abduction
11. The Enigma- a search for an answer
12. Achieving goals
13. Hostility of kinsmen
14. Competition with kinsmen
15. Murderous adultery
16. Madness
17. Fatal lack of judgment
18. Involuntary crimes of passion
19. Slaying of a kinsman - unrecognized
20. Self-sacrificing for an ideal
21. Self-sacrifice for kindred
22. All sacrificed for a passion
23. Necessity of sacrificing loved ones
24. Rivalry of superior and inferior
25. Adultery
26. Premeditated crimes of passion
27. Discovery of the dishonour of a loved one
28. Obstacles to love
29. An enemy - loved
30. Ambition
31. Conflict with a god-or perhaps a high authority
32. Mistaken jealousy
33. Flawed judgment � Non fatal
34. Remorse
35. Recovery of a lost one
36. Loss of loved ones
NONE of this is just for GM�s. It�s for anyone having a hard time with creating a history, or finding something to do when there�s no one around, or needing to find reasons for their characters actions, or wanting to take that RP and uhm kick it up a notch� *shoots emeril for ruining that phrase*
yes. widgets.
Keep in mind this was set in a CP world with magic, and these are ideas gears towards GM's…
But when I had my character, and I needed ideas on how to stir things up as a mixer fixer, I gained a lot of inspiration from reading this. Just think in terms of your own goals when reading them and see what happens.
