| Roleplay Guide
Roleplay : To roleplay you have to pick up a character.Every character has a role.You have to act as your character would act in Real Life.You have to be as much as realistic you can be.You must have a first name and a second name and make your history story,like a normal human.You can roleplay as a gang member,cop,gun dealer,drug dealer,a mix of them and etc.
In Character or IC : All the information that has to do with your character.It has to do with your character’s nationality,dressing,way of speaking,height,weight and the other characteristics of your character.When you want your character to say something then you speak on IC chat.
Example: We have to people.Person A’ and Person B’.
“Daniel meets James down the street”
Daniel : What’s your name?
James : Call me James, about you?.
Daniel : I’m Daniel.
James : Nice to meet you Daniel.
Out Of Character or OOC : All the information that has to do with yourself,like your nationality,your height,your weight etc.Whatever you want to say which is out of your character and the game you must say it on OOC chat (/b)
Things that you have to avoid :
Deathmatch or DM : Killing people with no reason.Buying a gun and start killing people has nothing to do with roleplay.Furthermore don’t take your gun out so easy.If a stranger comes to the hood try to RP with him by using a lot of /me’s and not just /me takes out his gun and aims at him.Try to use more your fists and not the guns so often.
Metagame or MG : Using OOC knowledge/information ICly.The most common example is when someone looks at the name of someone else by his tag and calls him by this name without being introduced ICly.Also you can MG someone’s health,money,faction and many other things.
Powergame or PG : Doing things that you can’t do in real life/unrealistic actions or forcing an another player into a RPly situation where he is disadvantaged.
Example 1: /me pulls up the car and throws it to the guy
Unrealistic action.
Example 2: /me punches the guy and knocks him down
With this /me you don’t leave the other guy the chance to react.
Make it like this.
/me fastly raises up his fists,then moves slightly his body taking some boost and forces his hand forward attempting to punch him.
/do Succed or Failed?
Now you give the other player time to react like.
/me notices the fist coming to him face and then moves a little bit back avoiding the punch.
This is a proper way of RP.
Revenge Kill or RK : Killing someone that killed you before.To kill that guy you have to wait 30 minutes to pass.
Rambo : When you are on a shootout you have to take cover.In Real Life just only on bullet can kill you.Running to the opponent to kill him without taking cover is PG and it is also called Rambo.
Healing in a brawl/shootout or fixing your car in the middle of a chase : You can’t heal in the middle of a brawl/shootout and you can’t fix your car in the middle of a chase.It is unrealistic.
Chicken Running : Running around/zigzag to avoid getting shot.
This is the most important things you have to avoid.You can read some more things at the rules of the server topic. https://west-life.forummo.com/f29-server-rules-introduction
Who is your character.
After finding a name for you character and choosing character’s characteristics you have to think of what your character is doing in this world.Which are his goals?What he has to do in his life?For what is he born?You have to think about these things.You can create a character with all the characteristics you like.
Using /me and /do.
You have to use /me for every of your actions that other players can see.You have to make it more understandable to the other player so you have to analyse more your moves.The /do command is for describing situations or a characters appearance,the place that you are staring and etc.
Example: /me steals a car
It isn’t correct.You use it to show your action but you are not using it properly.
A good car jack RPly way would be like this:
/me looks around for any people,then slides out of his backpocket a screwdriver.
/me bends on his knees,then puts the screwdriver inside the lock and pushes it hard
/me moves it fastly right and left,trying to break the lock
/do A sound was heard and the lock was broken
/me gets up fastly,then extends his arm and opens the door,hops in and closes it
/me kicks the dashboard hardly trying to break it
/do The dashboard breaks down and a few pieces fell down
/me bends down looking at the cables,then take the blue and the red one and connects them
/do The car begins to hotwire
/do The car is hotwired,the engine starts.
/me turns the lever from P to N,then pulls the gas testing the engine
/do The engine’s sound is becoming louder
/me turns the lever from N to D,then pulls the gas and drives off fastly
That is a proper way of RPing a car jack.
Ways of RP.
There is a lot of ways to RP.I will show you some of them.

Roleplay robs of houses or stores.
These are some ways of RP.There are many more,but I just show you the basics.
