Hey,
After a few chat OOC in game or here, i realized that a lot of players are pretty afraid to do "unauthorized" things.
I just wanted to make it clear, i know that there is plenty of rules etc, but, in the end, you are free to do anything you want as long as you respect the rules and, probably even more important, the RP and the others players.
I mean, if tomorrow you want to make a group of NPC robbers to rob every shop / business in town, you don't have to ask, you are totally free to do so. If tomorrow you want to play a terrorist who have hidden some bomb in town, you can too. If you want to play a mad scientist that have created a dangerous virus etc etc etc (Ok all the RP don't have to be evil but that was the example i found at first  )
As long as you play fair (aka don't put a bomb or something in a place you can't access in RP, don't use meta gaming and the common sense thing) you are really free to do a lot.
I'm even considering letting people send event ideas so we (admins) can validate them and allow, for example, to make an NPC at an higher level for the event duration, so they can do more.
Don't be afraid to try, if you do something bad, you won't get insta ban, it's clearly not working that way here. As long as you let some way out to others players it will be fine and in case it goes wrong, well. We cancel it, we move on.

Oooh could do a movie night at the cinema, sort of bring your own video to watch hehe. Too bad we can't show any Dark Horse production movies, though if Sybil is wanting them showed perhaps Shepard may be willing to cut a deal ;p

For that there is a webpage called "Plug.dj" where you can put your own videos and share in real time with others

Wouldn't it be a good idea to just remove the green text with rules in general, I mean there a link to forum here on 3dxchat thread and you can easily link it to someone or tell them if need to have it told. I mean don't see it doing much good those who would follow it from reading text most likely stumbled onto them already, and those that wont bother to write down the link will probably ignore doing so regardless. But I think having it there might discourage some from coming there, ofcause I may be wrong but had at least one or two who felt it might be the case.
I think keeping the roleplay only as a sign post and removing subway station and maybe moving radio somewhere else would be enough really, it would free extra objects as well.

I think keeping the roleplay only as a sign post and removing subway station and maybe moving radio somewhere else would be enough really, it would free extra objects as well. Well, I can't speak for anyone else. But when I first entered the room a million years ago and saw the web link I immediately went to it and read over the rules. Doing that was what made me decide to stay; seeing that there was a structure and format --so for me it did the opposite of discouraging me. Personally my fear is that the more we take away the fact that the room has rules and character structure, the more we are gonna get people running around everywhere, going into employee only and secret areas etc. Personally I'm even worried about doing things like this dance party this weekend. It is entirely possible I'm an outlier in this regard but if I had to choose between a ton of people running around half-assing it and a small group of people actually playing a consistent character I'd chose the latter every time. As an aside I am sad to see the subway gone lol. I suppose since the train has already been removed the weird underground area can be removed. But, I did think the subway made for an excellent starting location and added to the immersion of people coming in from other parts of the city; I know Betty used it as a reference to say her apartment was outside of the map and she took the subway to and from it. I suppose this is all a discussion for a different thread though hehe. |

I'm totally with Sybil on that.
This room is the only one like that on 3dx i think. Maybe i am wrong.
People looking for something else have plenty of choice if they don't like that.
I already said this but my goal have never been to get the maximum number of players here, but to have a good RP place. If it mean having only ten regulars players around, i'm fine with it.
For the subway Sybil it's only because of performance :/ Too many objects on the map...
