This is what I expected
Mobster isn't some Mordino spokesman but random wastelander who just happened to have good rp experience with the Mordinos. I met him in Redding during WWP project and his aproach was friendly and non-suspicious.
So I guess that sort of attitude is helpful in getting good roleplay experiences.
when people are RPing they should be giveing warnings not shooting on sight or giving 3 sec warning and then fireing. if you follow theses basic steps i promise after some time people may like rping and join you guys or rp with them in a real gang fight in streets of reno.
Remember there's no militia to watch your ass in Reno so being alert is pretty important at all times. It's likely that every stranger may carry a gun or be dangerous in various ways. Not wanting to die is pretty damn credible roleplay so personal security should always be top priority.
Even if all these nuub-friendly warnings were given, humane error would still occur and roleplayers get flak. Soon they get enough of all the negative feedback and people telling them that they play "wrong" and all that's left is pure pvp again. Being roleplayer who can defend himself is like being a gm or antipk, you never do anything right.
In addition internet people seem to have weird expectations about roleplayers, they aproach them with asshole "hoho I can insult you all I like but you can't do anything about that". When they get shot they go QQ in public and tell they got shot for no reason. Just an experience from WWP.
