[Guide] Roleplaying Concepts
By: Quattro Date: November 6, 2012, 12:55 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
[center]Have you ever had a question about what is Revenge Kill,
Metagaming, Powergaming, Deathmatching and so on? Have you ever
thought about increasing your Roleplay view of sight? This is
the right place, take a look of these concepts and learn the
basic RP Concepts.
[/center]
[center]1. Roleplay (RP)
Taking a role, and playing it. In SA:MP-World the word
"Roleplay" is defined as "Acting as In Real Life". Roleplay is
the main reason why Roleplay servers are being created, as
roleplay is always fun as long as it's realistic and roleplay
rules are not BROKEN.
2. In Character (IC)
Information and things which involve only YOUR CHARACTER. Your
character driving, eating, working, chilling, smoking pot.. And
so on.. Using smilies while being IC, is forbidden, you can use
/me and act that your character is Ex. Smiling.
You write: /me is laughting out loud.
It shows out: George Koveli is laughting out loud.
3. Out of Character (OOC)
Information and things which involve YOU. Special channels are
made for this to talk OOCly. You can talk about what you are
doing currently. You can write anything in there, as long as
it's not OOC insults, other than IC, where every sentence must
be completely roleplayed. Your Out Of Character
information/things shouldn't affect your In Character actions.
(If it does, it is metagaming, read about it below.)
4. Metagaming (MG)
Using OOC information IC. This is rulebreaking, which is not
tolerated and strictly forbidden. Basically, you find out In
Character information by Out Of Character actions.
Example of Metagaming:
Jack meets George, while Jack doesn't know Georges name. He
looks above his head to a tag, reads it and says: "Hi, George".
This is most common metagaming example on BBPRP. In Real Life
there isn't any tags above your head, which would describe your
name, but in SA:MP there is.
Right Way: A right way to get another person's name is asking
them.. --> "Hi, what's your name, I'm Jack!" George replies:
"Hey Jack, I'm George, nice to meet you!" - Right way to get the
name, without metagaming at all!
5. Powergaming (PG)
Either forcing another player into a RP situation, which ends in
the other player's disadvantage, or doing unrealistic things,
which you couldn't make IRL, such as roleplaying taking out a
minigun from your back pocket, you can't do that in real life,
or can you?
Here is few examples:
First example:
You want to kill Person B. Let's name him, Bob.
/me shoots Bob from his deagle and kills him - .WRONG.
Why is it wrong?
You have forced him into a RP situation, where he must commit
suicide. You must let him to resist.
/me aims at Bob's head and shoots. /do Do the bullet hit him? -
RIGHT.
He can resist now, by either jumping, crouching, or whatever he
can do with realistic roleplay.
Second example:
Doing unrealistic things. [/me]takes a can and throws it full
power, and it falls to the moon. - WRONG.[/me]
No one could do that In Real Life. You must be realistic!
Sadly, people abuse the powergaming rule, since they are so
smart and tough that they think they can resist everything.
6. DeathMatch (DM)
As a concept, its killing a player for no reason. Just
shooting/punching them because he likes to shoot/punch and kill,
and it's forbidden. If you like deathmatching, go to a
deathmatch server.
7. Revenge Kill (RK)
Attempt to physically harm a player who killed you before for
the same reason - killing you.
Some people think that Revenge Kill is only when you actually
kill the person, but it is also a physical harm.
This is simple - you are going to kill your killer, for revenge.
You can't do that, because of a simple rule - when you "die"
(critically injured, unless it's a Player Kill), you lose 30
minutes of memory. So you can't remember who killed you.
Associated with Metagaming (Rule Number 4) <-> (Above)
8. Kill on Sight (KOS)
Either killing everybody you see (associates with DeathMatching,
rule number 6. -> see above), or killing a certain person you
hate as many times as you want. This is STRICTLY forbidden and
not tolerated.
The term is not so used, but its alive.
9. Driver Drive-By (DDB)
Shooting from a driver's position with a gun. Forbidden, why?
Because it's very fast and auto-aims at the target. Only your
mates sitting in passenger's position may shoot.
BUT, we can't really drive cars unless we steal one after
escaping from jail.. ;)
10. Car Ramming
Attempt to physically harm a player or his vehicle with another
vehicle. Forbidden, because it increases Non-Roleplay.
Not a used concept on BPRP.
11. Non-Roleplay name (NON-RP name)
A name which isn't suitable In Real Life.
A name cannot be non-sense, such as "12345_ewrs", the First Name
and Last Name first letters must be capitalized, and the name
can't have numbers.
In short, give your character a name your mother would give to
you, your mother wound'nt call you Mr_GaySmith69?
Example of a good roleplay names:
Jake_Willson, Dimitri_Drakovich, Sonny_Laredo.. and so on..
12. Drive-by Parking
Harming a player with your vehicle planted on him. This is not
allowed simply because that it would be abused.
Also not a used concept on BPRP.
13. Spawn Killing (Sometimes SK)
Repeatedly killing players/player where they spawn. Associated
with DMing, rule number 6. and KOS, rule number 8.. (See above)
14. Logging to avoid
Exiting the game with either "/q", or pressing esc, choosing
"Exit Game" and then "Yes".
There are 3 types of logging to avoid:
Death, Arrest, and RP Situation.
In Real Life you can't just disappear, except if you have powers
like Harry Potter, but it's actually a cloack he goes under.
15. Exploiting
Abusing bugs. Simple, it's just exploiting game/script bugs for
your advantage. Not gonna say any examples, as people might
abuse them.
16. Chicken Running
Running in zigzags to avoid being shot at. It's running like a
retard from side to side.
17. Bunny Hop (BHOP)
Holding "sprint" button and jumping at the same time to travel
faster. Associates with non-RPing, no one jumps In Real Life to
travel faster, lol.
18. Healing in a fight
Just as it's named. You can't heal in any fights.
You must either make sure you've completely evaded/eliminated
your threat, and go to replenish your health points.
19. BackShoot
Rarely used concept. It's luring an opponent into a narrow path,
running almost near to the end, then quickly aiming at your
opponent and shooting him. He has no time to react and suffers
the damage.
This rule is not used on BPRP.
20. Player Kill (PK)
It's not the same as a normal kill is. You will lose your
memory, and status in faction.
21. Character Kill (CK)
This is the ultimate kill. If you get CKed, or CK yourself, you
will lose everything. Your items and money gets removed. The
account is sometimes banned (only the account's name, not the
IP.) It is a must to completely roleplay it.
22. Planebombing
Getting a plane and bombing it into a crowd of players causing
major damage to them, which most likely ends in death of those
players. Not allowed, would be abused and it's Non-RP to do
that, expect if you wan't to RP a terrorist and get your
character CK'ed, lol --> Rule number 21.
Not used on BPRP.
Gun from ass
Non-RPing taking a weapon out of inventory aka scrolling to
change/draw a weapon. , so please, rolepaly it next time if you
have braked the rule :( .
Example: /me takes out a knife from under his shirt, by his hip.
Gun in ass - Vice Versa to Gun from Ass, should be roleplayed
too.
Example: /me puts his knife under his shirt by his hip.[/center]

[i]Thank you everyone for reading the rules of roleplay, well
basically the concepts of roleplay. If there is any questions or
anything someone want's to add, please send me a PM.
This topic MAY be seen on other forums, but it's made by the one
and only Quattro/Galdo Meratzo/George Koveli.
