No offense, but behind the philosophical arguments and the whole thing about two schools of thought as motivating roleplay, I see your post as a bitch post, about how you got blown up, and how you are angry about not receiving the RP that you expected.

I sympathize with you. It's happened to me too.

But, quite frankly, I would be surprised if anyone on this server would be able to meet each others standards of "Utility-Motivated RP," since everyone's standards are different.

So of course, let's IP-ban everyone whose RP does not meet your standard of roleplay. Of course, knowing you, that is not necessarily what you want - I'm stating an exaggerated example. But here is a clarification of why you may have been surprised by the harsh RP that you received, RP that you felt was very hedonistic and selfish, and in other words, "not nice."

Quote:A fact:

- Discovery Freelancer is not a MUD, or a Multi-User Dungeon, where the only interaction between players is in the form of textual speech and description, and on occassion, ANSI art. It is a visual game that relies heavily on visual interpretation. Roleplay is not defined by textual interaction alone. Your actions matter.
As a result, when you started running, you RPed. And that was fine on your part. It is totally within RP for you to start running. But when you do that, you are essentially conveying to your opponent: "F*** you, I'm getting out of here."

RP doesn't have to be hours on end long every single time you do it. It's just like RL. It can be simple brushes of coincidence, and short, brief, and to the point.

So, yes, complain about being blown up, but don't complain about why or how your "killer" was motivated to do so. Because at that point, it's not really about RP and the game anymore. It's about bashing that person.
