Talk:Roleplaying

The bit about "godlike mode" seems to unfairly rule out a roleplay about beating a monster by guile rather than force of arms. Either way, it's ridiculous to roleplay killing a monster that isn't dead. --John 14 September 2005 15:03 (CEST)

It is is posible to kill a monster on you own, but not if someone from the island just attacked the same monster with 100 man or so and was not victories. It is just an example. --darkmawl 17 September 2005 22:13 (CEST)

Other Concepts

I found the /DAoC Roleplaying Rules - maybe some of it can be used for BM.

Playing DAoC Tom? I will chop those up a bit and see what we can use... I need some guidance on how strict you want the naming policies to be... Last I played DOaC the RP servers were rather harsh on names. --Eric S P 19 September 2005 19:39 (CEST)

I think those rules, BM-ified would work near perfectly for Battlemaster :) -- Revan

GMs/RP Police

My understanding is that there are no "RP police", and the chances of Tom stepping in to invalidate a roleplay are about .001%. Should we remove the "Only a GM can invalidate a RP" section? It's kind of misleading, as it implies that you can actually take a grievance to someone and have it answered with anything besides, "We're not the RP police." I think it's also basically from the SM manual, and RP played a role orders of magnitude greater in SM than it does in BM. (I know of nearly no instances of RP bringing about a manual change to accommodate it in BM: the game mechanics trump it 99.999% of the time). --Anaris 14:57, 30 November 2006 (CET)
