It seems that people are a bit edgy around here. I believe most people here are misunderstanding Goose's intentions when he made this thread.
What Goose meant to say with " "RP" is not running a store. "RP" is correctly playing your role. " Is that doing something inside the server doesn't count as RolePlay if you're not doing it properly.
If you're a gun dealer and open a gun shop, but all you do is say "What do you want", get the money for it, give the item back and that's it, then you're not really RolePlaying as well as you should be. Merely being present doing something doesn't constitute good RP, but the execution.
What Goose meant with well played aggressive RP is not a rant towards anyone for not awarding him RPP for playing aggressively. I personally understand his point, the only thing I do in Gmod is play on FL, and before that I was an Admin for another big RP community. Personally, I'm slow, clumsy and pretty crap at building good things, therefore my RolePlay tends to be around actions rather than business'. I RP often as part of the government, security or as a BMD, selling shady items to shady people in the most realistic way possible.
To give you an example: A police officer.
Person A is a police officer. He responds to radio calls, arrests criminals and patrols. He's doing what an Officer should do.
Person B is also a police officer. He responds to radio calls, and when he's there he /me's checking information on the suspect, questions him a little. He also arrests criminals, but tells them their rights and what's going to happen next. He also patrols, but he keeps informing by radio of his status, i.e "Officer B here at slums, no suspicious activity to report, heading to the apartments to investigate a call about a disturbance".
It's not what you do, it's how you do it, and I believe that what Goose meant by saying this is that people are not deeply involved in their RP's thinking that just because they're doing something it constitutes "RP". Anyway, just my two cents.

Live a good life. If there's a god and he's just, he will not care of how devout you are, he will accept you for the virtues you have based your life upon. If there's no god, then you will have gone, but you will have lived a noble life which will stay in the memories of those that you love.
