All points have been made, and to avoid further flaming I think we should lock this thread.

Really, Trigger, I'm asking you to politely "stuff it." Both of your posts in this thread are spam. If you are aggravated/fed up with something, spill it, but the "doot dum dum wewoo" adds nothing of value to our discussion.

I've said all I will, unless Pirogoeth wants to counter any of my points (which he is free to do, and I would encourage him to do so), I would ask the FM to delete Trigger's off-topic spam.

In my mind, the so called roleplaying is for this moment nothing else then an excuse to do things that arent generally accepted otherwise, like killing newbies, acting like a jackass or on the otehr side, acting as a moralknight, and so forth.

Untill the rpg elements are really entwined into the very essence of the game, any roleplaying effort is nothing less then a pure scam of trying to get away with certain feats or trying to pass the time in a to your eyes acceptable method. I know that a lot of people dont agree with this, but this is my opinion, mostly based on roleplaying rules. You are only roleplaying when your actions have any effect on the outcome of the world around you, although as small as they can be. But for the moment, none of the roleplaying efforts done by any players involved in the discussion above has any real effect on the world vendetta, but only on their own behavious. As well for the better as the worse.

cheers

A pirate is an outlaw. How can one be an outlaw and still be a member of a nation? I am not committing crimes against the Itani nation (external regulation - FF), so I am not an Itani outlaw. I am merely an enemy to the Serco and NT.

AlienB, this game cannot be seen as a pure RPG, that's why it's fun. Judge it considering that.

no game is pure RPG, but you could show some respect to those who try.

Fine, let me rephrase that:
"This game is less of an RPG than Camps and others would have it; this isn't DnD or RO."

I'll agree with that, Pirogoeth. Killing is so much more fun when there's a story behind it. ;)

Seems like we're done. Nothing was solved or learned.
