This is why I quit my old server. They were all using S/F and I got sick of it. I tried to make a change but they didn't listen so I came here

Re: "/do Success / Fail?" is not an example of good role-pla
I think it wouldn't be PGing to say /me launches a right hook at [name] jaw, breaking it.
Because if I just do
/me launches a right hook at [name] jaw
/do did it break?
they'll always say "No" even after maybe stomping on it. Some people won't.
If you were allowed to do that, people could still resist like.
/me launches a right hook at [name] jaw, breaking it.
/do No you don't.
/me turns his head so the punch doesn't have as much affect as it would.

Re: "/do Success / Fail?" is not an example of good role-pla
so if someone is standing still, and I do ''/me swings the bat into Name's head repeatedly and aggressively in an attempt to knock him out.'' I won't have to say ''/do Does it knock him out?'' Anymore? So he'll just have to go along with it or either I just do /knockout?

Use /knockout
As far as i know, /knockout is random between Success and Fail. Sometimes its success, other times its fail.

Re: "/do Success / Fail?" is not an example of good role-pla
/me attempts to breath air
s/f?
Nah, I mostly tell people to stop using s/f if they RP with me, if they still do so.. I just ignore them, besides not fitting in.. it also SLOWS down RP like shit. which makes a robbery take years.
/me takes out his gun
S/F?
/f - You made it fall.
/me picks it up
S/F?
etc.
I agree 100 %

You can say that, that's like sharing RP.
The way I do it :
/me swings the bat forcefully towards (name)'s head.
/knockout ID (if it fails, he'd still get hit a bit so he can;t just fight in the next second) Just not knocked out .
If you don';t wanna use /ko , simply swing the bat towards his head from behind or sneaking, that will give you 80% chances to succeed in controlled RP no matter what.
I sometimes use /do to ask stuff after I hit someone, it's not like /s/f tbh . Some don;'t know what to do next so asking them in a /do may help things. ((I mostly do /do's to remember them of the situation and of WHAT SHOULD really happen) Like /me swings the bat to his leg
/do do you fall to the ground?
Love the way it now works tbh

Re: "/do Success / Fail?" is not an example of good role-pla
I like the whole idea of not using /do for suceeds and fails and I'm going to stop doing it myself but what happens if the person your trying to RP with refuses and starts complaining in /b saying how I'm powergaming etc... Can I then take a SS and report that person for failure to RP? If I can't then the whole RP has been ruined and the person won't know what he/she has done wrong.

they'll always say "No" even after maybe stomping on it. Some people won't.
Personally I wouldn't do it because I think it's the role of the victim to RP it accordingly. Examples :
attacker: /me launches a swift, forcefully uppercut to X's chin.
victim : /me collapses instantly, holding his (broken) chin. or a /do like "The chin seems to be broken" in case he's calling medics, otherwise nobody really needs to know that it's broken, it's just a huge pain for the character himself.
Or if it's like : /me softly slaps X across his face
Just something like : /me stumbles somewhat back, furrowing his brows, blabla.
These are just examples, but you certainly got my point.
Of course this /do S/F trash needs to go.

I hadto do this /do success crap or I would be spammed by people "LOL U PG ZOMGS I REPAORT"
Literally you would haveto "/me attempts to bend his knee, lifting his leg slightly to take a step." and the other guy would be like "/do fails cos your leg is not that strong"
:S
if you wanna push someone, you'd just push them right, it's not like in real life someone counters a push.. seriously they would just punch you in the face, not "/me leaps back 3 meters doing a backflip avoding the push, pulling out a gun and 'Attempting' To shoot you, even though if I wanted to shoot you I could easily just pull the fucking trigger"
thank u Raggamuffin.
Roflmfao. laughed so hard, but hes right. and in my opinion, /do S/F is just avoiding you a complaint. barely.

Re: "/do Success / Fail?" is not an example of good role-pla
This has been very irritating for me
If you ask about the door status in /do he'll just lock it....
Example:- /do Door unlocked ? ((Me))
/me locks the cars door. ((Other player))
/do No, it's locked.
Isn't that called PG ?!?
Another case of "PG" happened to me *Not gonna say names*
The intended player was sitting in a car, looking to his left talking to someone. I crouched and "/me attempts to attach a tracker on the car." and then "/do Do you notice ?".
He just responded "/do The cars alarm goes off **BEEP BEEP**." and he left his vehicle to look at me and "/me looks at the car from Ray's side." As i "Attempt" and didn't actually do it, I responded "/do Nothing, i didn't put it." and told him that i bumped his car by accident. So he just looked away. That's when i "/me attemps to slide a tracker in his pocket." He responded "Hey motherfucker!", "/me hits Ray in his jaw." and "/me takes the tracker out, throws it on the ground and destroy it with his leg." and he somehow knew it was a tracker after he destroy it and yelled "He put a tracker!"
If that's not PG, then please tell me what's that ?!
Thanks in advance.

Re: "/do Success / Fail?" is not an example of good role-pla
It is, but when placing out trackers/moles on people you only have to do a /me saying that you nudge them or pat them or something, you don't have to mention that you added a mole/tracker on them.

Re: "/do Success / Fail?" is not an example of good role-pla
In the S/F era, I checked what was the most realistic. Now, I use /do Resistance.
* Officer checks Cycilio's body for illegal items.
No resistance. ((Cycilio_Vallejo)).
Is this powergaming, or can it be used as powergaming?
