Some good stuff coming out here. Noggins are together, hoping for more but progress is progress. 24 hours and we have all this.
Please keep this in mind. This is not specifically about passive rp. Passive rp is mentioned in several spots, however overall roleplay is the goal. Remember back in the day, when the mafia team would show up to your shop. They'd look around, buy something maybe. Don would come in and talk to you a bit, make you an offer. You'd decline and that was okay, the Don would tell you that himself. They'd leave. They come back later, maybe smash a few display cases, give you the new lesser offer, and if you didn't take that, maybe your store caught fire later on. The don, nor his men, ever pulled guns on you and said open the register, that was rebel shit.
There is an indepth aspect of roleplay for aggressive players too. A level of class to going about securing your excuse to wreck the dude if he did do as you wanted. It was never as easy as : walk in, demand, take, kill. Everything was over time. Like a book. Introduction, Interaction, Interaction, Action, End. Shops had to be given at least 1 - 2 chances. This gives him time to stew over it, like a real person would, decide how to get up the money or hire people, try to run, call the cops. But the way it goes right now is like a bad vine. 7 seconds from demand to death. People are treating it like dark RP nowadays, which I feel is just unacceptible.
The reason passive players were more protected was because they were the ones to make the server look alive. They built the shops you go in, they built fairgrounds, they built cool things to look at and play with. They sometimes got robbed or attacked, but more commonly were used as staging points. Like everyone meet at the cafe, order a coffee, then we roll out, after raid, return to cafe and convince the owner to tell the cops you'd been in there the whole time or you'll butcher his family, once he gets rid of the cops, you paid him for his troubles, and left. It wasn't just sprint everywhere shooting like call of duty.
Also, what the hell is up with criminal adverts promoting aggressive behavior like (We have hostage, come here or we kill more people) just to bait cops in, kill them, and do it over and over. There are so many rules still standing that say that shit isn't allowed, but it happens and is over looked. Or like high hour players building doomforts and using them, because their admin friend approved it. Since when can doomforts be approved, period? Only time I ever heard of approved dupe being allowed was when an SA or Soul said it was legit, and that was extremely rare from an SA. Few of my oldest friends around here have gotten lax about how they do their aggressive rp, they are gonna be shocked when I'm the one calling for their ban. Land of the lawless is ending, get used to it, we want our frickin roleplay back.
