Roleplaying

MEShootHere

<div class="IPBDescription">Not game system but getting in character</div> I find it very important that people get into their part in this game.
As I said in my n00b guide, a skulk taunting the marine side makes for so much more atmosfere.
I just love a marine making fun of the alien he just used as interior decoration.
It just adds so much to an already amazing game.
Many a time i've had to LoL just because of a clever taunt.
Shame you can't code clever players into NS Flayra, but I guess it's all we can get for now!
I say RP ENFORCED SERVERS++

How are you going to *enforce* it?
Why does using a chuckle bind or a in game message promote roleplaying? You really think TSA marines would talk about what their shrink says?
I agree that atmosphere is important, but you can't force people to play in a particular style without alienating a good proportion of them, I'm afraid.

Yeah I know, but I meant some servers with admin would require some players to add something.
I didn't mean codewise, just admin wise.
I'd personally like to see it more, just probing to see if im the only insane git <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

heh, i love watching a couple of lone marines building nervously, while i'm chuckling at them, likewise i like killing a fade then saying i just lost my appetite when i know they can still hear <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

i think it's a personal thing though, some just can't be bothered with the taunting, plus a lot of ns people are cs style players, some unfortunately are just frag ****, others don't team play <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

People don't roleplay properly in a heavily RP-oriented MUD called Achaea. Do you really think people are going to RP playing an FPS?

I remember a friend was playtesting a MMORPG - Asheron's Call I think it was, and the other playtesters would go mental if you didn't use olde worlde language, or mentioned anything anachronistic.

Of course, that just goaded him on....

you really think TSA marines need shrinks?

...well, yes, they probably do. but if you need a shrink you just about might talk about it aswell <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
