but we want to play on the RPG maps.

FYI RPG means Role Playing Game in case you didn't know that. If you want to play an RPG map your gonna wind up RP'in'

i would report these people to you but i have not seen a server of the EoRP in a while so i believe they were probably already dealt with. as you said, one of your members who were donating a server(s) to you have been inactive so i have not gotten an updated impression of your members. I do however, like to hear that you have improved and i wish you good luck in the future.

So if you want to play slayer on an RP Map than find a server that is doing that or host one/find someone that can host for you.

thats the thing. the only people who make RPG beta servers are the RP nerds. gonna repeat myself.
halo is NOT an RPG. Doesnt matter what the map is called, or what people want to do, RPs in halo are just retarted. You cannot comeback against this. I am leaving this stupid thread now.

Glad I'm not the only one who saw the irony there ._.

I do miss the RP servers. Since I'm a Director I love just making stories and acting them out in Halo. It gets even more fun when you voice in it.

flaming must end. on a halo, first person shooter forum. not a RPG forum.

I got an idea for a roleplay.
Shooting people.

Do you really want me to bother using the biggest comeback of all against that? Okay, I'll do it!

I'm just gonna get a few links from Google for the purposes of this giant comeback. xD

Okay, they're not very good links, but I can't be bothered to do proper research right now.

RPing in non RPG games=same thing as rping in halo.

Except that I just proved it's quite normal for people to rp and if you think we're a bunch of freaks, then you're quite an idiot. What do you actually do with your life anyway, if you're going to call people nerds when you know nothing about them? Myself, I quite often walk my dog, and head to the shop. And I sometimes go and visit my friends. I've actually started buying some wii sports equipment so that I can exercise in the comfort of my own home.

I seriously hope you have a slightly better life if you're going to be calling roleplayers "RP Nerds". There isn't much of a difference between "RP Nerds" and "First Person Shooter Nerds", you know.

wow. i didnt think anyone would really be that...i dont even know...

please tell me there is no seriousness involved in that statement.. You think i have no life? compared to that what i hope is sarcastic statement, you have no. idea.
i didnt literally mean nerd. you took that way to seriously. I mean, wow, i dont even know how to respond to that...

I dont even PLAY halo barely anymore. i make and am still learning to make stuff, so people will stick around and play this fun F P S

There is a huge difference. the difference is being an RP "nerd" in a FPS game.

this whole thing, it just appauls me.

and yet every time you repeated yourself you failed to explain why they're so retarded except for "Because it's a FPS" Which was countered with the fact it happens anyway.

Paper is also for writing yet used to make origami, are you going to tell me that's retarded too?



We Do have that. It's called Multi-Team where both teams mix slayer with a Story/plot.

1.) as ive said, halo is an FPS
2.) Video games are meant to virtualize things we pretend. pretending in video games defeats the point.
3.) halo multiplayer is for killing people, whether on teams or not. Not complete collaboration between EVERYONE. otherwise there's no objective. besides pretending.
Edited by abkarch on Jan 6, 2011 at 09:07 PM

You are setting arbitrary limits on other peoples fun. If the only objective is pretending then it matters not what you use to pretend with; a RPG or a FPS. It is perfectly acceptable for you to not like to pretend in a FPS but it is not acceptable to disallow others to. Playing Halo as an RPG may not be for you but there is nothing wrong with others liking to. It is called tolerance.

Just Cause I'm Racist Dosnt mean everyone else should be.

So if you hate RPG's dosnt mean that everyone else does.

If you don't like RP's guess what dont join. learn how to ignore.

@ Abkarch
I am dissapointment in you're grammer

Your argument is flawed. Quite flawed.

When it comes to role playing, "normal" standards do not apply, mainly because role playing is far from being a "normal thing." The whole point of it is to take a role of your choosing that you cannot take normally. That can mean you shoot real people (or AI bots) or shoot imaginary targets. Hell, most role playing sessions use the former these days.

I see you did realize that video games are meant to "virtualize things we pretend." Let me elaborate on that for you. It's not you on that screen - it's the avatar of someone that you can't (or in some cases can, but it's exaggerated to the point that you cannot) be and you use a controller (keyboard), a console (computer), and some kind of screen (monitor) in order to play it out. That's exactly how role playing works. That's exactly what each and every video game is: a role playing game. We call them FPSs or RPGs because of what they look like, but their basis is that of a role playing game.

There is nothing wrong with role playing in a game that is a role play itself. That's what you're supposed to do anyways.

Now I believe you were leaving...

You can't not literally mean nerd, because nerd is a name which has only one meaning, as it is slang, and it is not possible for it to have another meaning.

"A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept."
^ ^
From thefreedictionary.com

"A foolish, inept, or unattractive person."

Okay, it has two meanings, but they both pretty much say the same thing. Somebody who is socially useless in other words. Lol.

To answer the "roleplaying is dead" subject. People who enjoyed roleplay just left.

Why is it still called Rpg beta?

With all due respect, im not trying to disallow anyone from doing anything. They are wondering why the RP community is dead, and i am saying (apparently, its coming out rudely) why i think it is. People are sticking nukes to your face? it means that they obviously dont want to RP. IF you are so distraught of people ruining RPs (which is gonna happen at some point) make your own RP clan and password protect it. I dont ruin RPs, dont get me wrong. i leave them alone. but it bothers the heck out of me when i join a stunt server on the RPG beta maps and people start RPs.
if i wanted to PLAY an RP, id go to an RP server.

nerd
–noun Slang .
1.
a stupid, irritating, ineffectual, or unattractive person.

taken from dictionary.com. not calling anyone stupid, just more or less IRRITATING.

Wow. im typing long forum posts, not essays. Im not gonna perfectly polish them. its one thing to say that to someone who
that was just a rude, trolling, thing to say, man, and you know it.
Edited by abkarch on Jan 7, 2011 at 08:09 AM

I was being sarcastic.

Rule 20 of the internet states "Nothing is to be taken seriously."

What was with the whole Nerd comment? that was kind of uncalled for.

Not even them.


He didnt claim it was good, did he?
HIM PERSONALLY didnt stick a nuke to your face did he?
And did he brag about it? No, he just said that he leads EoRP.
If you dont like rping, or rping on Halo. Ignore the rpers. if you dont "like" it. If its dead,which it is not, Why do it?


PS:
I agree with the strict server thing. I admit, I was pretty "strict". I mean. Yeah take the warthog around the corner, but i got annoyed when people flew jets across the map saying "Im activating Halo". and i did get bored of it. So i became less active. Im comming back, In hope i can rp without the idiots. I dont mind people using nukes, aslong as its not at a stupid moment.etc.... Hey that could be my new quote!

Edited by sos on Jan 7, 2011 at 08:43 PM

I see EORP is still there. USF is too (serious RPing, more than MRp) and growing from the empty space MRp left. I agree the RP communauty, aka EORP and USF is dieing as the "Elite" RPers leave gradually. But yeah, nukes everywhere gets boring, true RPs with a complex plot and characters are rare. It's been years I didn't go to public RPs, the quality is imo, too low.

Ps: excuse my grammar/wording, english isn't my first language.

A real RP'er is able to RP by himself.

I like this guy :)

A real RP'er should be playing a RPG.

and we do thats why we play on RPG maps only. we have very big imaginations that make us able to RP in a FPS so yeah.

A real man should be able to accept what other people do, unless its breaking the law.

If You were trying to simply state why then you should have stated something like "I think the community is dying because Halo was not designed for that type of Gameplay" then all of this would've been avoided. Instead you bashed your opinion telling people go to draw and such.




That's Exactly what All of the RPers do.

As for the reason why it's at its low point, it's because 90% of the community are new and broke the tradition of what used to be 'Proper' Role-Playing which turned most RP servers into screw around servers. The only real professional clan that does what was hyped is USF and some small time clans that aren't very known.

- lol at my late posts.

That is incorrect, me and a few others have led teamed Rps, and Alot of people found them fun, and I enjoyed them aswell. rping isnt about all going red in every rp and always fighting the covenant etc. AI online wouldent Sync. But if it did, im sure the rp community would use those maps. and rps dont always mean comabt, they could just be a team of explorers exploring an area, you can do anything within your imagination , as long it dosent exide Halo CE engine limitations.
