perhaps i was a little harsh, my reading what that niz was expected to stay in prison for the rest of time in total. the discussion didn't say there was a time limit he would be in prison. i can totally respect him living up to the agreement to stay in prision for x days rl, that is honorable roleplay in my eyes. (sticking to the plan is always good, as i've also done myself)

i know a few of the "role'ers" that do it when it's called for, but i took the thread to be about those that expect 100% RP all the time. i can respect the one's that want to do rp all the time, so long as the rp they do doesn't affect the gp of other players, or cause those players to try to pressure other's to do the same.

ryzom does offer us all the chance to do things both gp and rp, and while my personal rp is rarely done by my actual toon in game (my rp is more story based and is intended to offer paths to potential content additions) i do from time to time engage in actual rp of my toon.

my main goal in ryzom as a player is to try to find ways to do things that anyone can join in (i don't let rp prevent who i play with and what we do together). i have seen some players object to mixed teams of kami, karavan, and mara training skills, claiming that it's helping the "enemy". while from a devoted rp angle i can see their point, i like to counter with this: when i go to an OP war, i want to have fun playing on my side, to do so i need people on the other side that are equally skilled in some respects. so when i team with another group to grind a skill it's because we all want to reach master in skills, and when the time comes use them to kill each other, for the enjoyment of the gameplay. if that's wrong, why should we have any factions at all, we should all be neutral and just have free-for-alls.

anyway i don't want to rant, i did get aggressive, but in the past i've felt that was also being directed towards me as well. this was not the first post i replied on today, and it's possible that i was already unhappy with things previous to getting to this post, and that had tainted all of my posts following that. now perhaps i have cooled down and thought a little more clearly.

Ever had a 10+ hours dungeon crawl with some crazy GM on D&D ?
Not sure it would please people who want to roleplay on Ryzom :-p

sorry i meant that way out of it's context, i do rp work as well, i didn't mean it as though i think roleplay is bad. i mean that using roleplay as an excuse to not be as utopian as possible when not involved in structured roleplay/gameplay (outposts and super nodes, or other structured official events).

i just think that sometimes some rp get's made into the game right away, and others can't even get an opinion on one, even when the poll is in favor of it. (for many years)
