[Feedback] Needlessly Killing And Using "banditry" As An Excuse

[MamaBearJade 2090]

Okay, yes I am a bit ragey at the moment but this really needs to stop.

You need to stop killing unnessarily people.

Bandit rp can be done without KILLING the other person.

Too many times do I run into a bandit, get killed, then MCly killed all for a few pieces of food and my RP books.

If this doesn't stop, I wills start requesting VAs to be brought back for all the needless and poor RP killing.

Yes. I am irritated. But you know what. Who gets to enjoy the RP? Not the victim.

9 out of 10 times, I am left having to regather my stuff through new means and go back to where I was because of an inconvinience and poorly created roleplay.

Please. Stop killing people for pixels. It brings no fun to only /you/.

Some of you try to make it better, but those of you who dont, it gets a bit tiresome to the point I have started telling people "Please avoid RPing with me in the future"

TL:DR

Stop killing unless you have to. There is NO fun in it.

Thank you.

I will write this out really easily.

 

People in lotc generally can roleplay.
Yet most dont roleplay the weaknesses well.
AKA: Fear / Exhaustion / etc

 

Meaning if you dont kill them they wont fear for their life, they will go around yelling names, etc.
Hence why you kill them.

 

I always kill my victim simply because I cannot be sure that I wont have an immature little child as opposer.
Meaning that I would get fully murdered and slaughtered cus of powergaming emotion.

It's the simple way it is.
People dont rp emotions, I have no mercy. <3



NOTE:
I rply kill them. If they deliver good roleplay they can simply SS to spawn, I dont really give a - input bad word - about that.
If they deliver a waste of my time and effort, I kill them.

literally the only times bandits kill are

• when the victim refuses to hand over their stuff
• when the victim tries to call for aid
• when the victim tries to attack
• when the victim runs mcly

so what else are we supposed to do when the victim refuses to hand over the stuff? just be like "oh ok sorry for bothering you : )" and leave? and if the person metastalls or tries to call for aid, it makes 0 rp sense to not try to shut them up. when the victim attacks the obvious reaction is to fight back so no question there, and when the victim runs mcly pvp is initiated so

 

dont see what the problem is

[Cyndikate 2303]

You know, /nodrop is implemented

 

@Snowshovel, not all bandits are like you. Some will kill you whether you give them items or not.

[Space 2335]

You are always going to be killed when robbed nowadays basically.

 

Best solution: Wear armour, have a sword on you. Have steak on you. Someone yells at you 'Halt.' Book it right then and there for the nearest safe place. Most people won't chase you very far. Or, stop, hoping for RP. The say 'Armour or die.' or whatever, so eat your steak and book it. Steak means you will be able to out-sprint them.

 

Bandit RP is non-existant. Know how to get away from it.

 

Also, screenshot, and ask them OOC if you could keep your books or whatever. Some may be willing.

 

Oh and, yeah, I've almost never heard or someone who didn't die when they stopped and handed over their items.

[MamaBearJade 2090]

Actually everytime I am killed they dont even ask, they just grab a CHILD, drag her somewhere, kill her, then MCly kill.

There is much more that can be done.

Rissing, I am not talking about those who PROVIDE the rp. I am talking about those that basically just grab, hide, kill, then MCly kill.

No real attempt to make it enjoyable other than wanting to get a few measly items.

probably because nobody ever just hands their **** over

does that mean im one of a kind : )

[Cyndikate 2303]

You can always /nodrop

[MamaBearJade 2090]

@ cyn - the point is sometimes people have BOOKs they have been writing in, and last time I tried to get my book back, I was threatened with a BR. So, cant do that either... *grumbles*

I rather see villains who kill actually give more than 5 lines of rp.

*so and so grabs*

*so and so knocks out so and so*

*so and so draws blade*

*so and so kills victim*

bah...i miss VAs at times...

[Booklight12 481]

Shovel. Not all the people hand their items over. But even some people do and still get killed. For example, a bandit came up to my character and told him to drop all of his items. I did so and dropped all of the items I had icly on me. And then after that he simply stated "Now you die" and did *lunges forth trying to stab the mans head* or something like that then claimed pvp default... Luckily for me I was a better pvper~. Point is.. It was poor rp. Even though I complied and I know it has happened in other cases. They still kill leaving no progression. Yes they can state that they don't want people to find out about it and kill their victim. But it leaves no progression for the victim. Which is why many people fight off people if they are attacked.. As a lot of times they will be killed regardless and don't want to die without a chance of fighting back and surviving.

[Cjmate 1270]

If it is terribly bad roleplay, screenshot it and log out. If it is so bad that you are going to make a forum post about it, it is likely bad enough that a gm would support you if they got upset.

[MamaBearJade 2090]

As wonderful as that would be CJ, I get enough people bashing me for stuff.

I just think people need to remember RP is for EVERYONE not just themselves...

[The Fact Core 511]

Killing makes no sense on this server anyways as everyone returns. Everyone should mind that. If a villain want to spread fear, do something else than killing as it offers no pogress for both sides.

A book is just a freaking book. ICly keep your books safe as they are IC items. Stop trying to OOCly protect them. And victims never act afraid or hand over items and often run, hence why they get killed. If a victim complies and doesn't threaten to blab, they get spared, but that is an extremely rare occurrence.

[Lago 2572]

VAs were removed because they didn't work, "bad villians" still got VAs. They didn't sort the good villains from the bad, they just ate up time and effort.

I've looked into all this quite extensively, and the fact of the matter is that the true bandit players do not kill you unless you fight back, refuse to comply or are aggressive or superior in your conduct. If you comply with the bandits that actually play bandits and don't give them sass or attitude not only will they not kill you, they'll also probably take less.

The people who just kill you aren't bandit RPers. Quite often, they're soldiers on undeveloped alts or aliases. Mediocre marauders, I've heard them called. Most of your orcish raiders and your dedicated bandit RPers are not out to kill you and loot your dropped head. The people that are are just alts that geniunely don't care about rage or forum posts. The only people getting the brunt of your rage, the only people getting generalised and judged before you've even RPed with them, are the people who already make an effort not to provoke it in the first place.

Of course, the people playing bandits properly area doing exactly as you say they should. They're not "only in it for the items," they're playing brigands because they enjoy playing brigands. They don't want to make you rage because having to deal with L-OOC saps the fun out of literally anything at all. L-OOC arguments are almost as bad as dying for killing RP, because they take away the OOC will to RP. I urge anyone who reaches for the double brackets in anger to think twice.

 

The people on the receiving end of all this vitriol are not the people causing it.
