Omerta

Finally, a voice of reason. No clue why more people didn't hop on this suggestion.

My reason is beyond cringe. I’m getting toward being an old fucker- nearing middle age. Roleplaying in an era I was alive in a part of the life I’ve never experienced provides me a unique mix of typical roleplay escapism meeting a strange nostalgia for my years growing up in an Italian-American family from Newark/Camden. That world doesn’t exist anymore. So when I see groups of Europeans standing by their traditions and engaging in cultural hegemony even though they’ve assimilated best as possible into the USA streets, and I experience each season in this strange imaginary throwback world, I get an awesome sense of wonder for a life I never could live mixed with an odd nostalgia for a life I did live as a child. I just wish we had the towers. I remember seeing them in the skyline as a kid and I remember the first time I saw the skyline again without it. RPing the NYC life in Southside has been a strange ride for me. I’m sure my situation is uniquely cringe/nerdy but maybe someone else can relate even just a bit. The coziness of the winter map and Christmas time is a great example of the fuzzies that be hitting.

Probably the unlimited breadsticks

What kind of character are you going to play? What’s your favorite type of event in the City? What’s your most memorable Southside moment?

Low tier manipulator Top tier dick rider

You are seriously mentally retarded. And I see you have a gay little obsessive crush thing you do. You should cut that out. Not trying to date or be your buddy.

-1 Type your own or bind it. I'll write my own if I want everyone to see my weapon drawing RP.

I have a job. I can tell you don't do anything meaningful in your day to day and your time isn't valuable enough to take anything seriously. But RP is a hobby of mine and why I chose to join a semi-serious/serious RP server. There is no OOC in the game. If there was, I would also participate in it. But when I first started and tried, it was made abundantly clear to me that the rules dictate ZERO OOC. It's baked in. We receive notes, warns, bans, etc. for that behavior. Why and how exactly are YOU so fucking cool that the rules don't apply to you, @String? Who the fuck made you Coolest Baddest Motherfucker That Rules Don't Matter For? Last I checked, you aren't a shot caller or anyone of influence in any faction and you definitely don't strike me as someone who has a serious busy life Out of City so where exactly do you get the audacity to come at me sideways? People like you are what this post is made to highlight. Toxic, troublesome, retarded people who think they're above the rules and who think the social contract doesn't exist for whatever he decides. Go fuck yourself. You are scum and you don't belong in this community with your toxicity and wilful disregard of the rules. You're just mad that my call for better faith directly addresses how SHIT people like you make this game that has so much potential to be GREAT. You hide that anger and insecurity in snark and childish pseudo-bully tactics that might work for bullying your fellow mental retards but here in the big boy world, people like you are just window licking plebs who will always stand small in the shadow of greater and more worthwhile men.

Yeah, if it's too much effort, it's not worth the squeeze- I will always understand that fundamental aspect of suggesting ideas. But if it's easy, it's something I'm surprised already doesn't exist. I suppose using the pager and whispering ICly forsakes convenience for the sake of Roleplay so maybe you're right @calink

You need to have pager contacts, no? I am talking about conveying information to unknown people near me. Why are you being so obtuse about this?

Kind of shocked you're not for it. This frees up the text box for RP and minimizes the spam of OOC that caused the global OOC to be taken away. LOOC having a WOOC (I titled the post OOCW but WOOC makes more sense due to the formatting of LOOC) means that much OOC banter/chat is tucked away on top of protecting certain OOC information you don't want shared with everyone around you. Maybe I don't want the guy in the next room to know that I'm leaving for work but I do want the guy next to me to. I know "Pager" is a big element and tie-in to the City but I figured encouraging people to stay locked-in and not constantly DM people on Discord to convey messages out of character.

Clearly, we have a fundamental disagreement with what should and shouldn't be openly shared in the middle of Roleplay. The entire point of this suggestion is so that we are not publicly sharing Pager information. The person's personal Discord is obviously included with that. Especially since text goes through walls/floors.

P.S. I am not going to start complaining and making player reports in Discord or the Forums. Trying to do @ reports already gets me ignored and mocked for just trying to play legit. And I hate snitching. Hate gathering evidence. Hate the whole process. It's not why I'm here. My hopes are some of you will find that spark and log in for the sauce once again.

Can we please RP again? Cut it out with your "cousins" somehow "hearing" about the beef you have with people? Cut down the harassment and chalked up, fabricated reasons to beef. Can't some of you drum up enough creativity to at least justify the shit you start with people without having to lie, metagame, and social engineer by skirting the rules? Just making a plea for some of you to play in good faith and actually RP. There's a reason you came to the City and stayed. We can be diplomatic. We don't have to like each other or even hate each other OOCly to love and hate ICly. Just please, play your characters. I'm so sick of hearing brainrot memes, modern vernacular, and constantly being harassed over dumb shit. Even this right here, pleading for basic decency is going to catch me a ton of flak. I just know it. I'm an RP nerd. It's the only reason I'm here. That's the only reason anyone should need to want to be here or deserve to be here. I agree to follow the rules, which was implicit in my willingness to stay and play for as long as I have. What's the motivation for anything else if not just to troll and harass people to satisfy your egos? Enlighten me, since I'm such a dumbass apparently. tl;dr Hey guys, wanna maybe RP again when you log in the City? Thanks.

Explosives already exist. Extremely risky and extremely rare/near impossible to get your hands on. They only show up, from my experience, when conflicts heat up. They require Admin permission to even use, from my understanding. -1 because it already exists

Surprised this wasn't already baked in, but thinking and looking back- it definitely doesn't exist (yet). Big +1 Like Davis said, just good common sense and fair.

Buddy, you can 100% pick up unconscious bodies. What are you even saying? The speed still decreases for the killer who carries a body. He wants the same thing to happen for unconscious people, who can still be dragged like they always have been able to. Why do so many of you fucking retards knee jerk and say shit without thinking it through?

How exactly am I supposed to DM somebody that I don't know, on the fly, to convey something that's OOC (such as a DIscord invite)? Or explain that "Pager" means "Discord" without others seeing or having it clog up the text that has people RPing? Am I seriously crazy here or are you just doing the famous snarky gaslight and overlooking something you're not taking into consideration? Genuinely asking.

You just told me to DM somebody in game? What are you even saying? You're a Seasoned Administrator, for luck's sake.

I don't want to have to use languages to say OOC shit privately near people. My character is not saying or thinking those things. I propose implementing an Out of Character Whisper so we can exchange sensitive information/reminders OOCly to people near us that others cannot overhear and abuse for metagame/abuse. Things like "pager"(Discord) invites are primarily what I'm thinking but there are other examples I can't drum up on the spot. Please consider, my friends. Thank you all for reading.

Last couple times this got shot down, the vehicles were a very different beast. It’s time to implement this since we went this route with vehicles adding cost to character and vibing “realism”.

Looking back, absolutely your actual age shouldn’t affect this concept but it should be a blank slate that stacks up to maybe 150-200 years resulting in a PK. Maybe you can hard mode by setting “prison years” as a character creation dynamic.

I'd spend all 3 wishes on a single friend.

Shittor, Martin Riggs, and for some time- Maggie Finch Mostly cops get the biggest reputations because they get to practically kill with impunity and make huge waves in the community by murdering important figures in confrontations without the risk of dying. Pretty big deals.

PD and others have begged for this for a long time. Doubt it'll happen but stranger things come up.
