How will Roleplaying take off?

[fugitive316]

Anything I could do to help with the kingdom asuka? I would like to be in yours.

[HiryuuX]

Oh, for people who don't know, when you roleplay and you want to talk OOC (Out Of Character). You should either put () around your talking or you should have OOC in your name.

[Zulithe]

HiryuuX raised a good point, if your are in a RP guild you should notify people when you are talking OOC. Rather it be in your tag or in your text, maybe for example:

<example of IC talking>
Thou shalt not assalt thine Lord, commoner!

<example of OOC talk>
OOC: hey did you watch survivor last night?

or something

Not a bad idea, but do you want people roleplaying only for personal gain, or because they genuinely want to?

I genuinely want to.

[Loriel]

I have some questions:
1) What kingdoms do we have yet?
2) Who are their leaders?
3) What is left to do before this gets official?

[FatherDante]

I have to say roleplaying is its own rewards, don't make perks, everyone will get the roleplaying stuff one way or another if we do that, it would be way too difficult to administer, and extremely subjective to decide "This person's been roleplaying, but this person, well, he only roleplayed for a second," or some such thing.

Instead, perhaps have roleplaying events, like a great festival or something and have a little prize for the social "champion" who was roleplaying in the festival. That would work well. Some little NPC like a trophy would be nice, I think.

[Asuka]

Oh that's the thing we don't plan to just say "you suck at roleplaying therefore you can't roleplay" rather if someone does suck we at Roleplayers INC can teach them HOW to rp. A good friend o mine even made a how to roleplay guide that im gonna steal not steal just put up to show everyone. As for the question before yours dante.

3 or 4 kingdom's depends on vermain

Medieval - king asuka
Samurai - king trueheat
Water - king hiryuux

And vermain might be the king of the underground OR he might just have an underground alliance like the outcasts of the other kingdom since he is a rat afterall.

[FatherDante]

Perhaps Vermain could lead a secret alliance of anarchists out to cause mischief and destroy all the kingdoms?

[G_yoshi]

Since you people are looking for a 4th kingdom.........I could be the King of the Spam Kingdom? But, that probably won't happen.........too bad.......never get to use my Spam Attack..........oh well

YES

[freddyfox]

Ratmen
I like that idea. After all, I am more of an underground type of guy.
We can have scary underground sewer system where my hidden castle would be.

[Asuka]

NO NOT CASTLE VERMAINS LOVE SHACK

[freddyfox]

But I don't love anybody, and no one loves me

[FatherDante]

Yes, a sophisticated channel of sewers running underneath bomboria, accesible only through a secret path- and home to the underground armed insurrection, led by the ratman himself, Vermain! hahahaha!

[Tyhm]

One of the things I tried with Tyne back when I was helping him with Valkorlia was force people to unwittingly RP.

If you go on Valkorlia and don't have an invitation, you're a peasant who cannot attack and cannot talk...

If you PK a lot, you're a bandit...

Stuff like that. You play it however you like, and the NPCs force you to RP it.
The only downside is PMs and Toalls are still OOC....but that's life.

[Asuka]

What i want to do is have tags for each kingdom and if you don't have your tag on you can't access ANY of the castles or fun roleplaying locations! and when you have your tag on you must roleplay and if you don't then the leader of your nation can delete him from the guildcode!

[Tolerian28]

so asuka may i be the general of medieval?
