Roleplaying

[Anonymous]

I was going over it earlier, and realized one of the big reasons I joined FA was to RP ..  so anyone want to help me throw on some thinking caps and come up with an RP that we can actually carry out in game?

I think it will either be very easy or very hard to RP in MxO, I hope it will be easy but I am not too sure yet.  Battles I guess are one of the things we can do, against the collective perhaps.  Or you could just act in character the whole time, very tough but quite fun.

Yeah - but I was thinking more along the lines of actual arcs that you guys used to do in the forums .. but havent done much lately.  I was thinking it'd be awfully neat if that got carried off into the game.

Only problems I have with rping is when things get just flat out korny, or you have to ask someone an out of game question...

Yeah, I guess that's kind of the reason I havent been roleplaying a whole lot in beta since I'm working so much with everyone else to help them out.  But I think if we get in a room or do something creative, it could work.  Whos up for it on patchday - or really, any day?

Not that acid would know anything about beta, of course.

And uh.....really, what Oronos said encompasses it all. Cant get much more to the point than that......

Maybe roleplaying will turn out to be one of those things that develop better when the game is actually out and their is more interaction between factions and we can actually fit our own story within the developments of the Matrix's story as a whole.

I always try to roleplay in my games, unless it's an FPS, where there's no room for it because if you stop to type... well, you're not there anymore. Anyhow, I think we can start it up after the PvP patch because we'll have goals.

It actually seems that Roleplaying is going to be a big part of the recruitment - so it would be a good idea to get into the whole feeling.

You guys must join TeamSpeak. You will learn many, many things. Such as why Tbone and Lithium are spys.

<_<..........................>_>

You'll also get to witness all of Wolf's gayness which is just a dead give-away for his being a spy.  Wait a minute, I'm Wolf....but that means....Damnit!

[Anonymous]

One more thing, it will be hard to roleplay when we are all on teamspeak together....

If you know one thing about me, I tend to always roleplay, or atleast I act this way all of the time and so it's easy to act out roleplaying for me.

I haven't actually played beta yet, but "hopefully" I will be able to join you guys soon. I was swayed by the dark side yesterday....hopefully it does not come to bite me back in the ass.

I think that maybe if we were to get more into roleplaying in and on the forums, that it's possible we might all benefit from it that expereience. Try it, you might learn something.

It's plenty easy to roleplay when you're in-game - just let yourself go, and act like you think matrix characters act. Don't be afraid to act corny, or rather let your perceptions of corny and cool go and just act like you'd think roleplayers would act.  I myself would prefer that you'd be a hardcore roleplayer as it'd be more fun for myself, and I think for you.

I posted this a few days ago, but I'll reiterate here.  I'm interested in role-playing and that is also why I first considered this faction.  That said, I just cannot imagine doing so on TS.  BUT, maybe we could have a separate TS room for RP.  We wouldnt' necessarily have to be grouped together - it makes sense that our characters could have uplink communication with one another (I mean, why must it always be through a cell phone?).  It would just have to be understood that when you entered the RP room you couldn't be a tard with OOC questions and comments --> If you have them take them to another room.

Oh, hey, and how the  hell can I get my little TS module while in the game?  I downloaded wtf I was supposed to download but it doesn't work, arg!

Sevker and I tried some basic roleplay at the pre-patch batch the other night and it worked great! True, Muse, we weren't on TS at the time (he wasn't, anyway), but I think an RP or maybe even a "quiet" room is a good idea. Say you want to play but you don't want to be bothered. You could go to the quiet room where you would only be contacted if you were needed for something or there was an emergency. The room could also be used if people want to roleplay without voice. There could also be a voiced RP room as well. Hmm, some good ideas! Keep em coming!
