Who says RP has to end in PVP? - caylith - 07-12-2009
Some of the best RP I've ever had/done has ended with me leaving in one piece without firing a single shot. You don't have to have them on your scope to interact with them. Make them come find you if they want a fight so bad. Personally, I'd prefer to *not* PvP anytime soon since I'd blow myself most likely...need to brush up on my RP skills too. Don't worry about it too much, when you have a good night of RPing it makes up for a lot of those crap times.

I have no idea why you even bother yourself with these things.
For me, there ain't not PvP or RP.
For me, there is realism. That is how I call it, and that's how I called it even before I knew this was an RP server, or knew what RP even was.
I do what makes sense, depending on all the features of my character, the character I am interacting with, and the circumstances.
If the situation and the M.O. of my character require me to engage in a fight after RP, then I see no reason why not.
If it doesn't make sense for me to fight in a particular situation, I do not.
I have no stronger leaning towards either RP or PvP. I enjoy both immensely, adore a good scrap, and can't resist a good talk, writing a story with a new idea I get, doing diplomacy work, etc. etc.
And frankly, those who refuse to PvP for some invisible ideal, for the hell of it, or so that they can boast that they "RP, never PvP", that's plain old stupid.
I don't know what your reasons are, so I won't presume, I'm just stating it how it is.

Offtopic:
You play the role of an artificial alien sentient drone .... working for Liberty cops....
in any standard situation I'd say:
"you are a powerplayer, enforcing nonsense upon valid concepts, your arguments are void"
But you were here for quite some time... except the word "dissapointing" I cant think of a better term to portray the sole concept of your RP.

I'm going to have to agree with Swift here, but unlike him I need to express how <strike>pissed</strike> angry I was when I read your comments. I'll have a fun time any damn way I want if it doesn't cross with the server rules:rtfm:or fairplay.
If the server becomes "non-pvp" it will change fundamentally, I will lose any interest in it since my favourite roleplaying scenarios are filled with wars and conflicts, and this is supposed to be a shooter game with lots of lore to think/write about.
No-Competition = Singleplayer (you don't even get to brag about highscores)
No-Competition = Sandbox mode

Most of the server players I have experienced to meet have bigger ego issues than the Mount Doom. It usually ends in Pvp and/or forum flame wars. Which one you are good at differs, some are good on both, some suck terribly on each.

You're kidding, right? Cause I am nigh insulted! Especially after me and a DHC challenged each other as to who's organisation is the evil one. It's Daumann of course, shame I had to leave that one early for an event.

Well, stop the ship designing all together and lets design new bases, planets, new rp implementations new something that is not "buyable" and "pewable". It is something that attracts attention. New ships new weapons new weapon effects new boom new paaaw etc.
An opinion.
