I've been on the servers for a few months now. I was really impressed with the level of roleplay i've experienced.
Having been the previous mayor I've met loads of people, been taken hostage, chucked off buildings, killed, and it's all been fun as there has been a story behind whats going on, and a point to it.
However, last night i experienced some poor RP. I was press, got taken hostage, and executed. The whole backstory was that "We really don't like press" so we're gonna kill you (on a server with no police or NHS so the situation can't really go anywhere)
This isn't a butt hurt post, I don't mind things like that happening, they can lead to some really fun hardcore RP! What would be great though is if they could have put a bit more thought into the situation and made it a fun interaction for everyone.
I'm not naming names, I'm not looking to discuss the situation with the people involved, and I'm not holding any bad will towards those players, thats not the point of this post.
What would be nice is people remembering that when taking someone hostage then they are restrained and unable to do anything for potentially quite some time. Everyone is on here to have fun, so engage and interact in some real roleplay with backstory and thought (ie, "I really hate the press because of XYZ") and then have some situational interaction! Otherwise the experience can become kinda boring for the hostage. I know people like different levels of RP, but this is a hardcore RP server, so lets keep it as RP as we can people!
By keeping the standard or RP high we can ensure that everyone is having a fun time, and lets face it, we're all here for fun at the end of the day!
Again, I'm not having a go at the players involved as I've met a couple of them before and they are decent guys, just asking for a bit more thought.
Take it easy everyone, see you on the island soon! let me know if you have any news worth reporting!
