Althos Silverblade 42 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (( the thing is, people often don't want to, or are unable to have RP having one or both hands being cut off. In medieval Britain, the guards wouldn't ask the person they were arresting "Do you mind if we cut off a hand, I that OK with you?" and yet if we don't ask, we are accused of power gaming and get more hate )) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blundermore 2741 Share Posted January 25, 2012 ((You just ask if they want to do that... If not... Use the other options I mentioned... Gibberts and stocks... Gibberts were cages that hung over street corners and off the city walls. Stocks were objects to detain and hold a criminal in place in a public area so that they might be made a laughing stock (that is where the term comes from). They are like jails but only more in RP than just "Dungeon number #13045".)) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep people in too long, they'll complain that we wasted their time but if we don't leave them in long then people will complain that we don't punish criminals properly. Really, most people aren't like you. Most people don't have reasons to hate us but they do it because it's "cool" to hate on the guards of Oren(and we're basically the new Oren). Then they make up rumours like the one you heard about the "more kills, more pay" thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebanamana 410 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The ideas would work if the guards were experienced roleplayers and the villain's were experienced villains. But often times that is not the case. The real change that needs to be made is training the guards in character and out of character to be better, and to remove guards who just are not good at roleplay. It is difficult to administer punishments for villains as well, because the situation often times consists of bad rp'ing guards and bad rp'ing villains, or one good roleplayer in the pair that doesn't want to deal with the other. Most good villains will outsmart the guards, catch them powergaming, or just not pay attention to them. Then bad villains will just try and escape no matter what, they will fight and roll until they are free and unable to be punished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
