Roleplay requests

[Illysia]

Usually when people think of organized RPs they think of murder, kidnapping, rebellion and so on.

I'm not talking about the simple RPs where two people are standing around talking to each other. In this case I am talking about the large scale RPs. Most of the time, drama is the only way to get a large group of players to pay attention long enough to involve them in a large RP.

In my opinion roleplay should not come on request, you should always roleplay. Being your character automatically gets you involved in roleplays that suit your character.

I won't go out of my character's way to join something. Of course I don't get the people who complain about a lack of conflict or interaction. I can hardly keep up with the conflicts most of the time.

I think some characters are just conflict magnets.

How about the more mundane things that make up everyday not so dramatic life. Like someone cooking at a tavern and serving up food to people. Or being friendly host or hostess for others events. Being a nurse or doctor and RP tending the wounds of local gladiators or people who are just RP sick. Simple but well thought out RPs make the game fun.

Everyone already does that.  I think Camazotz means more... adventure-like roleplays.

Ummm... How best to say it? Hmmm... How about "I don't".

I mean any roleplays even ones that are incredibly boring and that no-one could possibly guess why players in ps should ever be tortured in such terrible, horrific way by being forced to roleplay them.

Note: I don't really mean that there roleplays as bad as that. And i hope no-one here could possibly even think of posting an idea for one so bad here.

I agree that we should always be roleplaying, and joining ones that the character would, but I think this thread can help out some people that have the time to write and plan an extensive rp, and can't decide what topic would be a good idea.

Now, the small, mundane things should always be going on, especially since it takes little planning to pull it off.

Here is a whole thread about the fact that even simple RPs don't happen that much. However it is getting better. But sometimes big RPs grow from tiny mundane RPs that eventually become complicated. People have a tendency to think that it has to be huge in the beginning and that is what discourages a lot of would be RPers.

Well, some people might be interested in having their characters do little events like that. The extent of my doing so, however, was grabbing a mop to clean up a spill in the tavern.

Also, being the host/hostess for an IC event could be fun, especially if something...interesting were to happen. The character could get involved in bigger things, for instance: Someone gets poisoned at an event. The host(ess) gets ticked because their event is ruined, and decides to investigate, enlisting help from their friends/guildmates/whomever wants to join in...easy to see how things can grow from there, eh?

Yep. both RPs work.
