' Wrote:So, It got me thinking while reading Champ's Thread... Alot of people acting like tards during their first few weeks, even months on the server... Which is understandable. But.

But this lets me think of a poll:

How long exactly? Days? Weeks? Months? Nearly a year or more?

And how many newbies heard or practiced RP before?

*couch* Shame on me, I was obviously one of the bigger idiots on disco. I learned about the rules, but late, as I read the players-sanctions-section. I am not a PvP whore, so I never annoyed some players that much, that they would have reported me. Maybe this prevented me to got reported, but really, I was an idiot nearly a year. As I got it, I was ashamed myself. As I mentioned before, I docked in an osiris on manhattan, to visit a friend. I said that to another player in system chat. Anyone remembers? Was ~1,5 - 2,5 years ago.

It may be caused in that I am german native and tounged. Also it may be caused in that I tend to think too complicated, mostly. Thoughts without doubt are rare. I seriously needed nearly a year to get it:

Play as a child here only! Imagination, that is it.

I'll add a small story:

Two weeks ago, I met two perfect roleplayers, 5 and 7 years old, roleplaying Lego with me. The two nice daughters of my sister. I builded a nice house for them, and some cars and while driving with the car on the (Lego) streets, they seriously explaned me: "We bring a gift/present to you (my Lego-Avatar), but you (my Lego-Avatar) dont know it, although you (RL guy) know it. So be surprised, when we bring the present/gift." I nodded only and said:"Of course." I remembered the time I recognized the meaning of RP here on Disco.

But in myself, I laughed very hard, confrontated with the fact, that RP is given to everyone, you only have to remember your childhood and playing a LEGO, Playmobil, Big, matchbox, transformer, doll or whatever char...

Hey, they never heard about RP or such.
But they explained me carefully to be not ooRP ingame (Free LEGO RP)!

Playing like a child is the key, I am convinced.
