RP-rules?

[Shiverblade]

I know this isnt a 100% RP server, and dont get me wrong i dont want to change void to disco or something: but people are shaping the RP on this server on anyway its most easy for them so could there maybe be some sort of post with some standaard RP-rules the clans need to follow? not the normal players but atleast the clans(since they usualy are in big number)

for example:
if your navy:
-no docking on unlawfull bases when your fighting unlawfulls
-not allowed to shoot the target who killed u last time (unless its the only target left)

and for pirates the same but then unlawfull becomes lawfull, and maybe a few more: dont needs to be much: but just a few things what can make things more clear, cause people are shaping it the way they are most comftorble with it

NOTICE: As i said i DONT want to make this a discovery or something, void is way better then discovery! But just a few things to make things clear would be nice.

Your second point is exactly what disco loves to ensure.

the first one is good.

but that's all, that point and ONLY that point.

If you do another point then it'll be like disco.

One rule : Don't dock at unlawful base while lawful, and opposite, and don't dock at the same place while in a war, to avoid respawning wars.

possible too just something to make it more fun for both sides, cause some people dont want to RP, i respect that..but there are people who are like: ur nub with your RP, learn leet speak FTW, die!

people who dont respect the fact that some people DO like it

lets just make then 1 good point:

Clans: no docking on the same base/faction as your opponent, like that u can still fight but still respect his RP

i dont think its good for normal players who do it, since not all normal players are registered on the void and so read the forums

(perhaps idea for next mod: for example a clan is friendly with zoners, then a enemy clan is also hostile with the zoners faction? sounds logic doesnt it?)

[Shiverblade]

**Bump**

(awaiting a admin to say yes, idea will be added to a sticky or no, topic locked )

[anoyingnomad]

Hmmm, i don't like disco. I don't like respaw wars to.

A change in the rules will probably not be done anytime soon. However.

But... Why would you be hostile to zoners to? If the enemy clan is?

That way you only got 2 sides. Good and Evil. But no neutrality or something else...

[Shiverblade]

example: if im hostile to syndicate, that means im hostile with 666 too right?

same thing but then instead clan-clan its clan-npc

if your clan is a clan who gots the zoners on friendly cause you are a zoners clan or a allied of the zoners and you are fighting that clan, its logic that you dont dock on a zoners base since they wouldnt accept your dock request because your hostile with the clan whos allied with zoners

Again and again this topic comes up.

Daft RP rules are not needed. What we do need is people to stop being hypocrites and stick to their RP, not only when it suits them. Hey, not even call it RP, stick to their damn diplomacy. I'm talking about "Nomads"(not directly at you) and "order" teaming up. "Navy" and "evil" hiding behind each other simply because they're scared of somebody else in the fray. It's pathetic.

NPC's should only be a part of the RP of a person/clan following that of a FL faction, though. Example an Order clan member should not be caught dead using a Nomad ship or base. Equipment is more acceptable as it can be explained as looted or reverse engineered etc.

And I would put money on it that one of these people comes and posts and talks about how people need to follow their RP. Well, until you can do it, don't talk about it to others.

Key word of this post: Hypocrisy.

I agree with Zeus.  If you're not willing to hold yourself to an RP while tagged, the only thing that can get you to do so is yourself.  I think the only people who should make rules about this are the individual clans themselves - at the end of the day, some are more concerned with roleplay than others.  And that doesn't necessarily bother me, except in certain cases when I try RP interactions with people in my ISB characters and they decide to act like jerks.  The Void will never be a 100% RP server because a large number of its members are content to just log on and shoot stuff.  And I'll admit, that describes me some days - I can get pretty lazy sometimes while in an RP tag.  But hey, it happens to everyone.  Best thing we can do is set an example by staying in character in-game and keeping the RP forums alive in hopes that more people will be exposed to it and decide to tackle their role with a little bit more enthusiasm.  Whether in-game or on the forums, RP feeds off of RP.

In my opinion, the root of the problem here is that any clan can say that they're an RP clan, and nobody holds them to that. Some rules about this would be a good idea: then those who say they're an RP clan would follow some RP rules/guidelines, while ones who'd just prefer not to be an RP clan and just [s]sit in Sparta all the time[/s] use whatever they want without restrictions would be free to do so :P Hell, it doesn't even have to be over-complicated, for example: "RP clans should follow their chosen RP's guidelines, and use only ships, equipment and bases that are allowed for them. Multiple failures to do so after being warned in any specific case will result in the clan's removal from the RP clans' list."

Of course, it'd also be a good idea to provide an actual benefit to RP clans. I think that non-RP clans shouldn't even be allowed to have bases in systems outside the EFZ, but that'd require regular mod updates, which nobody knows when will happen. An alternative would be that only RP clans would be allowed to have capital ships (excluding transports), and those would have to be registered as well: that should make for some interesting RP :P

So, what's your opinion on this?

[Gr8-Lizard]

[RP]Sorry m8, if we could help U... what do U want... Dacia couldnt exterminate U in NMD1???
U must only talk with our Diplomacy chief... [RP]

[cmdrsaman]

... Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you sure that the RP tag was in the correct place there? :D

If you were trying to refer to the location of your base, then I think we can agree that it is very much out of place in Nomad 1. How exactly could a clan with a Navy RP have a base in Nomad territory?
(Before anyone says anything about it, ours is a bit out of place in UK2 as well, which is why we asked the staff to move it to another system in the next update.)

[Gr8-Lizard]

Dacia clan have theyr base in Nomad1....And they wil defend the entyre system, and the adyacent systems 2...

There is a great need for at least some "guidelines" if not rules.
There has to be some regulation regarding RP.
RP is a big joke here,and a little bit of regulation would really help the server.

Unfortunately,there is no interest from the A Team and the relevant authorities on this one.
No real intention and the standard response is-"Void is not a RP server etc etc".While that is true we can't have an attitude of accepting everything.

So good suggestions like those of cmdrsaman's and Shiverblade's will most likely end up no where except on the List of Good Suugestions/Ideas That Ended up Nowhere.
Now we have a very big List.

Its just not on the priority list of Admins & co.The new mod,its development,the ghost of cheating that keeps appearing & re-appearing etc. is what that is most likely bothering them.

Its unfortunate because everything can be done if its properly assigned to sub-teams of Voids and Admins each concentrating on one aspect/suggestion/idea/task alone.
A bit of micro-management could go a long way in improving things here.

There is also no also no rating system for Suggestions in forums where the most popular suggestions can be given the extra push.
No group of Admins or Voids to actually work on them to implement them.(At least the average Voidian doesn't get to know of one)
The A Team do ask your Feedback but that is only at particular times.
Its one sided and change/improvement is a constant process as suggestions keep coming and you need to keep working on them.

Anway sorry,for being offtopic.

^^And contrary to what LaughingMan has said above,+5 for Shiverblade for actually taking the initiative to open a thread on this.
Even though this has been discussed many times it takes somebody with real concern for the server to express his ideas.
Shiverblade m8,don't wait for 1 yr, say what you want to say otherwise you won't get the opportunity to say later or improve the server because then it may be too late.

Also don't be "patient" as LaughingMan has said, be impatient for change for that is the only way change happens.
Change is not a train that arrives at a station called Present while you wait and sit at the station on your haunches for Change to arrive.You have to make it happen.

We are a community on Void, ofcourse.
But the big problem is, some want RP and some don't. Would you be crazy and make that for people that do and don't want it? It's mad to go through every clan/person and ask, you want it or not.
Just wanted to say that
