Announcement First steps towards Light Roleplay

First steps towards Light Roleplay
​

Hey Lunatics!

We are happy to announce that Light Roleplay will be officially implemented next week along with our next weekly update. We have been discussing this topic for quite sometime now and we all believe it is time for changes. We have made community polls several times and the results have always been the same, and that's the majority prefering having Light RP and a healthier environment.

First things first, until today Lawless Roleplay has always been a dynamic roleplay server, meaning that roleplaying has always been optional and there were no punishments for anyone who for any reason did not want to roleplay. However we believe that it is time to upgrade our standards, so we have decided to increase our roleplay requirements from dynamic to light roleplay! Not to worry, nobody will force you to roleplay everything you do! Light roleplay means that we will be implementing a few rules which will not be hard to adapt to, with metagaming being the backbone of it all.

Metagaming (MG)​

Metagaming is the act of mixing out-of-character real life information with in-character information and having it influence your in-character decisions and actions. Examples of metagaming:

• Talking in-character normal chat about anything out-of-character or in a different language, that's what the "/b" command is for.
• Killing someone for insulting you over OOC chats such as "/g" or "/b".
• Calling for backup via discord voice while being restrained and unable to use /backup.

Powergaming (PG)​

Powergaming is the act of roleplaying unnatural situations, forcing roleplay on people without giving them a chance to effect the outcome, making up things that did not happen in order to influence others and roleplaying things that are not possible in order to gain an unfair advantage. Examples of powergaming:

• *Barney grabs a bus and slams it on Immad's head.
• *Simon kicks Sharpe in the balls, causing him to die.
• Roleplaying that you do not have items which were found on you when you were frisked.

Here is a quick voice tutorial made by our beloved @Kent_Reggal in order to help the community understand the concepts of having light roleplay:

Last things last, we're fully aware that some of the community members totally oppose the idea of having Light Roleplay considering our past long term Dynamic Roleplay experience and the fact that our community members are from countries all around the world and not all of them being able to speak proper english. Yet again, this is what Light Roleplay is all about, it's about communicating with each other without using real life information to declare wars upon another, everything will be totally in-character related and believe us it will be an amazing experience once you get yourselves used to it, time is the key.

Regarding rules and punishments we have properly studied them and they will be revealed next week along with the update, they will not be severe. In the mean time we recommend that we all start putting effort into roleplaying with each other so when the time comes we'll be ready for this new spectacular experience. We will also be taking the following measurements from today till next week.

• Staff members including helpers and mappers will help anyone through the process by roleplaying themselves and properly communicating with whoever needs assistance.
• Faction Management will communicate with Faction Leaders and make a plan to help faction members adapting a Light Roleplay behavior.
• Gang Management will communicate with Gang Leaders and make a plan to help gang members adapting a Light Roleplay behavior.

That would be all, looking forward to share this new experience with all of you! Cheers and long live Lawless Roleplay!

If you have some working braincells, you would know this was the reason that it failed the last attempt. You can't blame yourself tho

Great step, only concern is that pg and MG don't make light RP. Hope to see some more rp rules in the future....

you are the one who lacks braincells, it seems. i mean, getting bullied all the time by the entire community must've taken the toll.
previously, it failed because people like less complication when they play a game, for an example, people like you much rather prefer reading name from the nametag than actually roleplaying about it. FYI, They never tried to implement lightroleplay, this is the first time they are giving it a shot and i wholeheartedly want it to work.

Anyways, let me educate you on what light roleplay is as i have played on heavy roleplay servers. I for one, adore roleplay.

there are three kind of roleplay - dynamic, light and heavy.

dynamic - u can basically do fuck all, u get to decide what your level of roleplay is going to be, you just gotta make sure u dont MG (( which they removed from lawlessrp ))
light - You actually need to roleplay as a character you are chosing to perform in game for eg. PD, FMD etc , MG and PG being backbone of it. @Frost couldn't have said it any better.
heavy - you gotta roleplay everything you do, every basic thing. there is more to it but im not gonna get into that since the information ive given you is going to take you some time to process considering your braincells are depleting every-single day.
your behavior towards players says a lot about your upbringing, just because some people "gave" 2 fucks about you, you think you are the shit.
you probably don't get enough attention from people in real life, assuming you have one, thats why you chose to behave as you do on an online game.
it makes you feel relevant in your own eyes, i feel sorry for you.

Anyways, id suggest you to read about MG and PG maybe it will save you from losing yet another faction.

Nice contradiction, and you don't make any sense either. You can't argue once without getting personal, that shows how incapable you are to even reply to a thread like this. First get your facts straight and then speak to me again.

FYI: they tried to implement it in 2017, and it failed because of they tried it with the same rules as listed above.
PG & MG don't make a server RP. You need a whole new set of RP rules to make it work.

how could could you even use the word incapable? where did i get personal?

my mans making shit up in his head

 

[Lunacy]

Mg rule is now in here this is retarded sorry for saying that but way 2 shit

how come u play on the other server then, or is it just lawless' name that's the problem

 

[Lunacy]

not sure what more you expect for the “first steps” of lawless increasing the rp standard

what is this whole new set of rules u propose that the current player base would be capable/willing of adapting to

not sure why you’re surprised that people get personal with you, you seem like quite the prick n talk like everyone else is stupid, but ur the problem

Finally what I have been waiting for since then

 

[Guillem.]

i support that but first u have to check staff departments and Staff power before start doing this step
like
1. you need staff know rules and know what is Roleplay mean
2. you need helpers purge to start hire new helpers that who understand Roleplay
3.you need to fix issue between game affairs power and other departments powers
4. you need to add tutorial for players ( like Video form in game show them how to speak ooc and how to speak icly and how to avoid MG / PG )
5. don`t jail / punish Newbie players from level 1 to level 2 because they are still need knowledge specially for player who can`t speaking English
6. if staff MG while he is on a duty or Helper Team. he will get punishment as well
