Now this is a matter that's been troubling me for some time and i feel it needs to be noted by the entire community. And the matter is roleplay. Over the numerous conflicts and disagreements among those of us who feel unjustified we have overlooked a simple but troublesome matter that may be the main reason why these disagreements occurred in the first place.

People have their own opinions on roleplay and have the right to their opinions. But each of us; even though we may be playing the game for our self satisfaction and entertainment; need to realise that we are part of a community. That is an untoldand unseen rule of discovery, because as soon as you created that first character and flew your starflier off of Manhatten, you had a responsibility. Those of us may have realised it during their time as part of the community, but sadly to say there are those of us who are yet to understand. And so for those people i state here, that we have a responsibility to be understanding and unselfish towards our fellow players; and to do things that somtimes we may not like so that others can have a decent roleplay experience. You may not understand their roleplay, or agree with it, but if you just chill out for two seconds instead of trying to find a way to word a sanction report, you can probably find a way to just go with it. And leave the sanction threads for more serious concerns.

Let me put it into perspective.

Two children are playing cowboys and indians.

Child #1: BANG! You're dead!
Child #2: What? No i'm not, that's not fair!
Child #1: I shot you, you're dead, fall over.
Child #2: Umm....well i jump out of the way! Haha!
Child #1: No! You can't do that! I shot you, so you're dead.
Child #2: PEW! I shot you with my arrow, you're dead!
Child #1: What? No i'm not, that's not fair!

You get the picture.

As these two definatley have completley different pictures of what the RP should be like; And what should be the outcome of the scene. This also applies to discovery, you get two guys who are gonna have two completley ideas for PvP or a RP conversation, and there's a big possibility it's going to end up on the forums.

So what i'm trying to imply is, that somtimes it's easier for one of them to just accept their fate and go along with the RP. And if everyone takes this into account we can have alot more fluant and successful RP scenes, and less conflicts over petty differences.

So let's put it into perspective again.

Two children playing cowboys and indians. Take two.

Child #1: BANG! You're dead!
Child #2: Ahhhhh! *Falls over arms flailing*
Child #1: *Blows finger*
Child #2: *Still dead*
Child #1: *Walks over to child #2 and helps him up* That was fun
Child #2: Yeah, maybe i can win next time?
Child #1: Let's do it again then.

You get the picture.

And as immature as it may sound, this also applies to discovery.

If you come online expecting to have the time of you're life with your new RP idea in mind then think again. You're not always going to win. And so it's easier somtimes to accept defeat or let your opponent get away with somthing than to start a fire and make somthing out of nothing.

Roleplay. It's a two way street, and no-one has priority.

Thanks for reading.
