Combat RP sucks now. No one is willing to give kill or harm perms even when in the correct position and when they do they just god RP and Dodge everything. Thoughts?

Clearly you don't rp much.

With noobs then. The people I rp with are perfectly willing to use reasoning to figure out if a blow would hit.
 
Most rpers don't get their characters into positions like that I think...

That's what I do with mine lol they all are so precious to me lol
 
I'm cool with most things happening to my characters, except maiming, killing, and a few other things. The thing people don't realize is that wounds heal, so it's not like your character's stuck with a small cut on their arm forever.
 
I am cool with anything happening to my character including death, it just makes RP feel more real and risky
 
Lol ... I'm just so scared :) I mean bad things have happened to some of my characters in their past but not while I've been RPing them ...
 
And side not I give 0 f*** what happens to my chars, for all I know you could break their spine and rip out their left buttock. Killing? Oh hell no.
(I RP fight all the time and I'm really good at it)
 
Just to clear this whole thing up. It is clearly written that a person must give consent for their character to be killed off. If they decline this it is not god rping it is simply declining your offer.
 
If you're judging 'Combat RP' as a whole just from experience fighting in the sewers, its not a very accurate show of combat RP. Try some honourable spars, perhaps with upper class commoners. Ive had plenty of fun combat RP scenarios.

I'd like to add. Your goal when going into combat RP should not be to kill/perma maim someone's character. I know from experience that having a character killed off because of some fling in the sewers isn't very rewarding for anyone. It's not god-rp if someone wants their character to not get maimed/killed, its just that they dont want a dead or crippled character. By saying this, I don't mean that non-crippling or death threatening injuries shouldn't be allowed. If someone doesnt want their character to be hurt, they shouldn't be putting them in situations where getting hurt is a possibility. (i.e., going to the sewers)

Keep in mind that just like normal RP, Combat RP is a skill. Some very good normal RPers don't enjoy or aren't particularly good at combat RP. To be frank, if you've been searching for combat RP in the sewers, it really isn't the best place to search. Many RPers there are very inexperienced in combat RP, or too worried about their character being hurt.

If someone is doing the oh so stereotypical *dodges*, you should call them out. Make a ticket if it gets bad, but keep in mind that RP is made to be fun. If you're not enjoying your combat roleplay, or your partner doesn't understand it, you have every right to cease the roleplay.
 
Talk a bit OOC before the fight and work out a system using the random dice roller feature.

Each of you could roll a 20 sided die and whoever rolls higher scores a hit.

Good luck!

I don't like how everyone spammed him with 'please read' ratings. He posted this thread based on what he himself has experienced. It's honestly kind of rude to give him all those ratings, considering it's his own opinion concluded from his own experience, and not a mindless assumption which would in fact require him to re-study combat rp.

Even then, keep in mind that combat rp, like others said, is not meant to kill someone else's character but rather for OOC fun.

that's no reason for him to be forced to re-evaluate what he said, even if it could have been a little less vague. Sorry for being strict, SMITE has got me all frustrated and I'm venting

Yeah, your point is pretty valid, and games like SMITE leave everybody like that. But it wouldn't have been hard to explain himself.
 
My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyways.

I gyazo-ed that, and I'm tempted to save it because it's so savage.
 
How're you initiating it? Like, is it clear and purposeful? Or is it forced. Are you trying at every opportunity to fight people? Are you purposefully spilling alcohol? Are you getting mad at people for looking at you? If so, you might want to try not doing that.
