| Question about RP? | Started by: DominicClericuzio on Apr 26, '25 17:54 |

Does anyone actually still rp, and world build here. I've been rping for over 25 years. While grammatical and spelling errors due occur within my post. (I try to proofread the best I can.) I just enjoy building up worlds, and great storylines. I started with mafia roleplay back in the myspace days, then moved to roleplayer.me and now here, cause rper.me sort of died out. I'm curious on everyone's thoughts. I feel it is a big aspect of what makes the site great, because otherwise it's just doing jobs. This post is not framed in a complaining or demeaning way at all so please do not think I am complaining just curiosity. |

| In the myspace mafia world, there was also weddings, funerals, births, deaths, even a commission. I think it would be awesome, if there was a way to incorporate that into here. I would be willing to brainstorm with anyone on these implementations. This is just ideas, I would love to hear feedback. | |

Hello Dominic, and thank you, Rocco, for pointing this fine chap my way. Always happy to help keep the discourse flowing and the content here genuine. Only the truly lame are going to pull you up on grammatical and spelling errors here, so don't worry too much about that. What people (and me most of all) don't like is when someone doesn't put any effort into their posts, such as throwing a prompt into ChatGPT and regurgitating it into the forums. I question the motivations of such people and, cynic that I am, suspect they do it to game the system for rewards, which takes them away from those who actually made the effort to earn them. It is against the Site Rules too, jsut fyi. Regardless, unfortunately the RP side of the game and the forums specifically are at something of a low ebb because the users on top of the game don't care at all about RP or the forums in any capacity and refuse to discharge any of this to those who do. They don't play their characters at all in fact. You will see them refer to themselves and others by their most well-known username i.e. "JTG" rather than that person's current character as they make absolutely no distinctions between the two. They are consumed completely by retaining control of the game to advance an agenda that consists of very little substance beyond being alive and in control. Control for control's sake effectively. What does this mean for you? Well the last wedding proposed by a crewleader was Brent between TylerDurden and RobertPaulson in the Chicago Stadium which is quite a high bar. Funerals are only attended by the leader or individual who murdered the deceased. They say "No W/S required" and that's it. There is a "commission" insofar as a handful of people make all of the decisions for everybody else, but they don't do any sort of RP around that because their decisions have no RP basis to them at all, and again, no interest in the forums or building themselves into actual characters. I am hopeful that eventually they will recognise the importance of actually roleplaying as their characters or at least allowing some people to run families who would encourage that sort of thing but we are not there yet. At the moment, you'll be able to post whatever you like about any of the topics you like unless you use any of the mechanics side of the game that would facilitate you in acting any of them out (increasing your marksmanship skill, defence etc.) or your character becomes too old where you may theoretically have done that. My advice, and something I've always embraced on here, would be to focus upon whatever aspect of the game you enjoy and crack on with it. Just do not invest any amount of effort that you are not prepared to lose. I wish you every success, have fun and please write all of your posts yourself. |

| Thank you for your response, and your time. Do you believe there is a way to maybe have a discussion with others about trying to have people run families and crews?. As I see things, there is so much potential within the rp side of things, mixed with how the site is built around. It would be a high disservice to the ones that built it. I would be interested in discussing further with you and possibly brainstorming ideas with you if you are up for it? | |
