The discussion about alignments had little to do with the original topic. It was hijacked. And if you're right about moods, then I would be very happy with it. However I get sometimes the impression, it is taken to the letter and not only as guidelines.Coral wrote:all this talk about alignments and RP is amusing considering the topic. primarily, the peope who raid for relics are powergamers... and there is no shred of RP involved. it is about getting relics for a bonus in experience. i do this as well so don't think i am criticizing them. NS4 has the making for a great RP server, but it isn't. you can't really RP on a server where the majority are not RPin'. and alignment in D&D isn't a restricted as you make out. it is just a basic overview of your character's stance. every character has off days and mood fluctuactions.
for the sake of the topic, i don't see any realistic reason to try to justify a PM raiding for anybody but MA or SL. if this were an RP server then yes it would make sense if the PM had some motivation to do so. but it isn't an RP server no matter how much you try to talk like you have an accent. if it were an RP server i don't think you'd see so many enemies partying up to go hunting.
In general it is a RP server if you want it to be one. And about most of the players not rping: yes, it is hard sometimes to continue, but it is still worth the effort. Try to stay in your little rp group and ignore all the OT shouts and character names, especially those absolutely ridiculous names.
And as said, you don't need a rule for everything, just try to act mature and with some common sense. In that case, you will notice, you won't get spanked a lot by DMs
