Garry's Mod Roleplaying: Why themed? Why not just, -roleplay-? - Garry's Mod

People really need to stop bastardising the term 'roleplay'. Sure, this sounds like fun, but it would not be roleplay. Just like DarkRP isn't roleplay; let's be honest, it's 'Cops and Robbers'. I'm with you, though. A 'fuckaround' gamemode where you could just do absolutely anything within the limitations of Garry's Mod would be awesome.

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;29104733]PERP was in no-way good RP from the start. Sure. PERP looked amazing, but you had one major issue... The book's cover was a lie for the book's pages. Admins on PE as my memory serves were fucking corrupt as shit, and littearly ran wild just like the players. The only time they would actually intervene was if it [b]directly[/b] effected them. For example... My first memory on PERP was starting a small store with my friend. There we sold guns, and furniture too players, and roleplayed like Southerns. We even added 'yall', 'boy', and 'howdy' whenever we had the chance. Things were fine for about... 3 Hours? We made a net profit of about 50K, and we were very much enjoying our selves. Now this was all fine, and dandy until we had an inncident where the admin, and his buddy busted into our shop when we closed. We of course were nowhere nearby(out getting supplies). The next thing I see on OOC is, "WHERE THE FUCK IS JOEY/RICK?" at first I thought a customer was at the shop, and I responded, "Oh were out getting supplies, why what do you need?" the next thing we got on OOC made my blood boil, "WE ROB YOUR PLACE, AND NOTHING WAS THERE! GIVE ME MY MONEY FOR BROKING LOCKPICKS" I laughed, and thought this was a joke, I mean seriously who would demand money for breaking into my shop. I responded, "Isn't it your own fault for attempting to break in?" the next thing I know the admin is shouting Rule 43[or whatever the rule is] because we were apparently argueing. I'm glad it shuted the kid up, and I went back to our shop with our supplies, and I posted a small advert saying, "Howdy partners! Southwest Apparel, will be back up soon with a fresh invetory! Come by for all your six shooter, and furniture needs!" After we finished building up everything, and opened the door we got flocked with people. Had a line of almost five people.... Felt good to be honest. Meant Rick, and I were doing good. The next thing which happened though... Told me all I needed to know about the majority of the admin team. A group of admins whom were police ran into the shop, and told everyone to get on the ground, and that it was an apparent raid. I told everyone to remain calm, and asked the, 'deputy' what was the issue. He shot at me, and shouted, "GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND." oh.... I got on the ground alright. My buddy Rick got on the ground earlier, but he hadn't told me how he put on his 'safety' shotgun on, and he popped over the desk, and shouted, "LEAVE." the officers went, "HOLY FUCK GUN,GUN,DSFSFDGFSD" and tried shooting him, but missed horridly, and Rick blew their brains out. The next thing I know the admins get everyone out of our shop, and begin bitching at Rick, and I for rdming them. We asked really simply, "What you mean..? You shot at us, and one of us was already beneath the desk where we kept our shotgun" the higher up admin came in, and asked why everyone was forced out of the shop, and the cops basically responded, "WELL THEY RDMED US, AND POWER GAMED" of course the head admin didn't ask us, and banned us straightforward for a week with the reason, "RDM'ing Admins" Yup. That's my little adventure into PE's PERP(when PE was still alive, and not VG). I could also tell a story of how I ran Lorux or whatever the guys name off the road as a firefighter, and got the police force,medical force,and otherewise to rebel against him for imposing taxes against the people, and it got all of us a three day ban each.[/QUOTE] Harsh story... But again, the problem wasn't the game mode, it was the community who ruined it.

The script dosen't matter, just the community.

A gamemode that allows the the player more options than growing weed or getting rations would be nice.

This is what I like about actually roleplaying on DarkRP. Nobody expects people to genuinely roleplay, so they don't set a theme!

[QUOTE=_Chewgum;29055620]i mean the point of this thread, what's the problem with cops and weed if the players wants it to be that way. You're the problem always trying to enforce shit which makes it boring.[/QUOTE] The PERP owners tried to get people to use their imagination with jobs, but no-one fucking does that. I'd love to see that happen, but so far, like previously stated, it's either a cop or weed grower. No-one tries to go out there and pretend to be a Male Hooker and expects to make a living with it, because no-one is interested in it.

The question is,will it blend?
