@McThornz regardless of whether we kill you in RP-PvP you come back literally every day at weird hours in the night/early morning, immediately force pvp and call GMs when we complain about you immediately forcing pvp. you don't roleplay on this server and you dedicate hours on end every day to shitting on players who are trying roleplay. It's such a ******* joke that you'd even suggest that we're ignoring your roleplay when it's comprised of you just casing settlements and running away from people until someone in discord tells you to help with a raid. I have never roleplayed with you or even met someone who knows your character. 90% of your forum posts are you complaining about people complaining about PvP. 

You're not a poor roleplayer, you're a non-roleplayer and a god damned brainlet. You have to go back.

i rp joel! n u berate me for it ):

Haha I don't even know who the **** you are so what, I'm going to assume you never rp because I've never rped with you? Of course none of your friends know me because I don't normally rp in cities full of braindead welves. To suggest I don't rp just because I'd rather pvp a fight with over 20 people or because you've never rped with me specifically is ridiculous and  assumptive. 

And when regarding yesterday's rescue raid, I literally emoted but received no response due to the shitfest spam in looc caused by the welves the minute things didn't go their way. 

Dont tell me what I do or don't do and I don't appreciate being called a god damned brain let just because I enjoy pvp in addition to rp.

You’re going to give Beamon a nam flashback

Who is at the top?

Well let's be honest here, what really matters in life ? Is it those virtual points that you acquire because you create content that makes people laugh ? Is it ? In some way, yes, those point are a way to validate the member of the community. As you acquire more reputation points or your ratio gets better, your status in the community increases. As I personally seen after hours of forensic research, Anore's reputation point were mostly acquired in a position of power. That's sorta like cheating the system, because those points came while the members were under influence of the power kool-aid. As a judge in this case, I would render my decision as so : Remove everybody's rep points and let the games begin once again for the 11th year of this great community.

A more thorough examination of this whole situation was demanded by higher authorities. As we can see, at this current moment, you currently have 8610 rep points and 3323 messages, your ratio is 2.59, a fairly average ratio for a member of our community. This kind of ratio allows you to be in the administration team. But on my side, I have 274 posts and 814 reputation points leading to a ratio of 2.97. While my ratio is higher than yours, that means exactly what it is, I have too much influence over the community and I am a danger to the community. I always strike for perfection while you strike for average-based posts leading to you having to worry about your reputation count while the true mathematics reside in the ratio.

don't cock it up

its also cancer to avoid dying in a situation where you’re guaranteed to by calling pvp and running on CD

i am not against pvp i think its a great thing in most scenarios to resolve conflict. Though my biggest thing is people using it to escape situations or kill-blows. Any moment something goes sour for them, they call pvp and just sprint off and abuse mechanics to escape a situation that would otherwise be impossible to RP’ly.

trust me im fine for clicking and ****, just outta here with this coward avoidance pvp mentality

crp should be an alternative to pvp

crp should only be used

• when you’re friends with the other person OOCly
• know they’re not a cry baby
• know they type fast than one word per minute

This is, from what I’ve noticed, the real issue at hand: A power fantasy problem among a large percent of RP communities.

I’ve been RPing for 7+ years now, and I’ve seen a lot of different ways to handle combat and RP. Here are my thoughts.

Everyone wants their character to be the “main character” who always comes out on top. With this said, when two (or more) characters run into a conflict with one another, engaging in CRP boils down to emoting in such a way that restricts the opponent to react according to how the initial emoter wants. Over the time of the hypothetical CRP, all parties involved become agitated and/or begin trying to justify why their character should win a certain engagement against the opposing player(s). This often goes on and on, and sometimes involves flaming in OOC chat until someone either gives in or calls for a mod. All because there is no current system to alleviate the power fantasy a lot of players struggle with (though they don’t realize it). 

Whereas, with PvP, by using in-game mechanics, there is little to no debate who can and should win an engagement. However, with PvP being the go-to method for a lot of conflicts, it truly takes away from any detailed story telling. Some of the greatest stories include the details of combat, in my opinion.

How should/could this be “fixed”? Well, one of the best RP based combat systems I’ve seen on another Minecraft RP server involved dice. Players had a set number of health points when they initiated combat with an opposing player. Following this, each player rolled a 1d20 for initiative. Furthermore, each player took turns attacking/defending based on the initiative rolls. Players would then roll for attack and defense, all with another 1d20 each. The player with the highest number has their combat emote (defending or attacking) conquer the opposing emote (again, attacking or defending). So on and so forth until player surrenders or dies in RP. 

The only additional thing which would be required is an in-depth guide on how to calculate damage dealt through this type of combat system. A topic I don’t think I’m qualified to touch on. Balancing something like this would be fairly difficult, but possible nonetheless. 

However, due to the RNG nature of this system, it turns a lot of players off. This is why rankings could be included. The following is a very rough, but easily comprehended example of how these rankings would look and how they would influence rolls: 

Peasant 1d20+0
Knight 1d20+2
Ascended 1d20+9 

Achieving newer, higher ranks could be done through appointment based, RP “classes” with a team of moderators who take it upon themselves to double as in-character trainers. Whether or not a player gets to “rank up” is determined by the mod/trainer after an RP session that tests the players RP etiquette, skill, etc. Additionally, with every “rank up” reaps its own rewards and benefits i.e. bonuses to dice rolls and potential for increased health at higher ranks. 

Likewise, there is no perfect system for how to deal with CRP, but if the goal is to incorporate more RP based combat into the server, a system must be put into place to help eliminate players from overextending their character’s power. I realize that what I’ve explained may not appeal to a vast majority of this community, but I figured I had something to say about the topic.
