Nobody has any original ideas anymore especially for banks/Gas stations, If I walk into a situation, ask why a guy is holding a pistol and they say its a drill then I literally sigh, nobody wants to listen to you explain you're fixing the cameras or the cash register for the 90th time that week and that you can't provide any documents or even get your story straight. A good example of roleplay is the following:
I responded with INS Tanner to an AR cache today, it was being robbed by
@MrLongSlong and his Tangarine loving step sisters. Instead of turning into a fight we RP'd that it was a haunted house tour, instead of saying "No leave the weapon boxes alone" when they had broken into one of the rooms with boxes in I shouted not to open to boxes because they contain the ghost of Margaret Thatcher, and we eventually got them out of the Cache, where they proceeded to kidnap Tanner in a roleplay friendly way.
That is good roleplay, I'm sure all involved including the Staff Lead that was there would agree. Saying "No it's a drill mate I swear" will lead to you being tased because it's shit RP
People don't roleplay with other people because it's stale and boring, yes the server has issues that need addressing like FPS and Rebel life but at then end of the day Roleplay is what you make it. I guarentee if you give the majority of players on the server a great RP story then they will go along with it so people need to stop complaining and start upping their game in terms of creativity.
All hail the Orange Cap gang
