Just a dash of Originality. PLEASE READ!

Ever since the RP Event in which Luca took over, RP has increased dramatically. While this is good, Its getting repetitive. Im basically asking people to try to be more original, and go with the flow. Dont try to plan and guide the entire event, change depending on what others say/do. I've seen so many people doing typical stories including the most common, Being taken over by a demon. While this can be interesting, if we have 15 people taken over by demons, it gets old.

Also, I wish for people to avoid over doing the /me and /a. I hate when people use such commands to bypass actual PVP. FOr example (not yelling, just using you as an example), awhile ago, Rashed_is_Ezio was arguing with me in RP. Suddenly, he says over /me "Injects Serpum with a Sleeping Potion". While this may be RP, I feel it is cheap, and bypasses actual PVP. We have Heros to help RP in which you need to fight, etc. If everyone could do the /me stuff, I could easily walk up to Mikey or Rorujo and say "Stabs in the Heart!, or Attacks with GIANT FIREBALL!" even if Im only level one.

Again, I understand that /me is a great way to add spark to a RP event, but if it means you being able to automatically destroy anyone with the push of a few keys, then its not fair.

I can't be taken over by a demon cus I am one

Haha... yeah. Back in the day, probably 15 years ago or so (makes me feel old...), I used to role play a lot in chat rooms. Yahoo... etc. And when role playing you were NEVER allowed to flat out SAY you did something to someone unless it was planned between the parties for an added effect. Sort of like where Lucavex flat out ran his sword through Anders. That was preplanned to happen for a shock factor effect. So it was ok. Otherwise... it was considered a HUGE no no. Everything was really supposed to be done "at" the person to allow them a creative way to dodge or react. Of course, this was ALL text based, so no ability to physically do something on an avatar in a game. Since this is a visual game as well, most fighting things should be settled out physically for the most part with what your character can do for real. Why have heroes if it's not going to enhance RP as well, ya'know? Besides, stepping outside what your character can do, within reason, is godmodding. That's my opinion at least. There will always be text required for added flair and other actions not fighting based. That gives your own flavor and flair to things. Although, it does sadden me that the chat buffer in Minecraft is so incredibly small. Makes it hard for me to type how I normally would in RP in a small enough space. //toomuchdetailfail

I'm on the evil side by my own free will, I think most people just want to be able to go back to being good so they use that excuse.

You are probably right.

"ZOMG I wanna be on the evil side so it's cool so I'ma be taken over by a demon WOOOOOOO!!!"

"OK. It's over now. I wanna be good again so people won't hate me. "

[alwayzbored114]

No, more like this:

"I AM EVIL! I WILL KILL YOU ALL!"
"Ok then, we'll kill you"
"YOU AND WHAT ARMY!?!?!"
"Umm, this one? *12 people come over the hill at once*"
"OH..... Umm, uhh, Im not evil, I am a spy! uhh, Yea...... thats it...... ZOMG DEVIL TAKEN OVER ME KGLHDA:LFKHADLKFHDSKFHSDLKFJSDG"

Me: "=_="

[WILD_PICKLE]

There's also the amount of revenge happening

[coolcreepers]

Um...
When I was taken over by a demon it's not cause i WANT to be bad, it's because the spirit want's to 'toy' with peoples emotions while leeching on to you, and stuff like that.You could think if it would hurt my feelings making fun of my decision of villain and all.I didn't know everyone liked having the same idea I did. I thought of a more original idea of a villain though, just need to find the right amount of cool skins yet

What if you have spells or abilities that do not adhere to Heroes? Like me, I have desert-based spells, such as sandstorms and scorpions.

That's godmodding. He should say "attempts to rip Matt's arms off"

[deltajesus]

And probably fails horribly, resulting in a major ass kicking from various people for being stupid.

[Orman Grandclaw]

Why would you want to rip any arms off anyway-it's not very civil.
