To RP or not to RP in Controlled Towns?

<< < (5/8) > >>

Hydro:
Metagaming is not only about robbing, but trade and caps- so yes it is possible to create RP, but pesimissm is too big in some cases

Just as reminder: please understand that this topic isn't just proposal of behaving for gangs. Did you read about those "alpha team"?
This is thread to lazy gangs which want only PvP. 
Want towns? Make RP project and post it on forum or your town will be taken by our commandos and given to more intelligent gang.

i believe that northen towns should look like BHH more or less, thats the ideal i believe, but with diffrent factions. I think that game engine should encourange such things as much as possible like i stated in another thread ( http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=10853.0 ). Otherwise the cities will just be points to take, an empty points practically, just some NPCs changing the name of the ownership now and then, only name, nothing else.

What game has set up right now though the game system, is a capture the flag pvp game. Thats what the game is set up for currently. There is little set up/fixes for RP in towns. The Raider roleplaying factions are the ones in control of the towns, when raiding factions (often the ones that only are in for the cash) dont care about the towns themselves (makes sense, Raider is a raider). Factions cant really do anything with the towns, they cant adjust militia, they cant manipulate things like taxes. And overally the whole thing is a mess, many things are not regulated ingame aswell, without ingame regulations there is little control and so, it looks like it currently does, Ghost towns.

Another ideas Devs could make use of would be if controlling faction had one vendor whom they could control 100%. They give him stuff for sale and maybe even adjust the prices. The Vendor would also have to clearly say to the wastelander he's dealing with that he represent this or that faction, so new players wont be confused by strange prices this might produce.

Either way, the less things are set up outside the game, the less the game have values to use and devs to manipulate towards a goal they decide themselves.

I thought you wanted some constructive discussion, this sound like completly out of place. Keep that to faction announcment, or you will have another useless flamed topic.

Actually that one was statement someone that is helping me with creating things, but he isn't able to write on forum.

Second thing is that something must be done- and not only voice from vsb, but from other gangs. I would like to see other gangs like ttla or rogues opinion


EDIT: About that don't worry I would rather hold fire/guns to make something constructive than shooting all around- if compromise will be accepted we will help with controlling towns

Nobody is afraid but when it happens everybody is angry :D

I agree about a thing with Avv : games mechanics should encourage roleplay. As I said, roleplay is not only consisting about talking with other players. Roleplay is...playing a role :D . In a MMORPG it is about playing a role in a world where other people still continue to live and to do things even if you are not connected.
The main problem is there is no mechanics about interaction with other players other than killing and trading (ho yes there is the bunker quest where you need to gather some people...). So players have to create their own politics. Where is the NCR ? The Brotherhood of Steel ? Vault-City and other factions ? How a small gang of 20 people could control half of California ?
