Cruising should take a step forward..

[MousemanLV]

That's what I'm up to. This routine type of a cruise system with these basic rules makes pretty much everything boring. Well, not really, but I think that it's time to take cruising to the next level by implementing RolePlay rules.

? Why am I trying to suggest such a thing - It's a cruise server and it's pretty much based on some certain real life scenes. For example, police car chases, am I right ? It does involve some stuff from RL, so why not improve everything else even more ? What's so fun about driving around, earning money and such..- Why not improve it all in GENERAL with these roleplay things ? It would be brilliant !

--------------------------------------------------------------

[OPTIONAL]One of the first ideas was to implement DISABLE global chat. Rather set chatting abbilities when someone's near you. This would be a great opportunity for regular traffic stops, for cops and the civillians to do some basic roleplaying. You know..-bringing in some common sense how it would happen in real life.

[OPTIONAL, although would be a nice touch]One of the second ideas that popped in my mind was using Firstname Lastname format. Yet, a following rule SHOULD be applied.

Quote:- No celebrity ( a person who is easily recognized in a society or culture ) names
- No unrealistic names
- If the name isn't american, then choose something that makes sense, not the most remote name from something the rest of the english players would understand.
- No gag names (such as: Mike_Hunt, Ben_Dover, Mike_Rouch, Eileen_Dover, Willie_Facker, Al Coholic etc.

[OPTIONAL] In Character rule.
Everything that you do, everything that you write [even in the global chat] could be considered as IN CHARACTER. Therefor, if a person is driving around, overtaking every single one and drifting around with no proper IN CHARACTER reason [perhaps, on alcohol, roleplayed, or being chased by cops], then it could be punishable.
Just in few sentences, everything that you do is considered as your RolePlay actions. If they don't make any sense at all [common sense], then the administrators have got the privilege to punish the player.

It's fairly hard for me to explain it all in little details since I'm a foreigner, but I will just post some rules below, so you would get much clearer view on what I'm on about here.

Car Deathmatching

Quote:Car Deathmatch(Car-DM) is when you ram another person without a sufficient roleplay reason to do so.

Do not use acronyms ICly.

Quote:Do not use acronyms or abbreviations such as OMG, LOL, u, ur, w8, lmao and/or smilies In-Character.

//therefor if something was meant to be ooc written, a person could use ((TEXT)) just to let people know that it was not meant in a in-character way.
For example, the only moment when you COULD use Out Of Character a.k.a ((TEXT)) (Out Of Character is a roleplay term which explains that it has nothing to do with your In-Character roleplay CHARACTER ). Also, the only person who can go Out Of Character is the administrator and none else. Everything that YOU as a regular player do is and will be considered as In Character, a.k.a for every single action that you do should contain a reason, a PROPER one. So, for OOC usage you could only use it when you may need administrator assistance regarding some, for example, insim problems or someone, who's abusing / avoiding rules.

NOTE: Maybe some of you, who WOULD consider this idea could explain it in slightly more details. All the rules that I posted above are taken from a Grand Theft Auto San Andreas RolePlay server forums.

And I also hope that this kind of a idea wouldn't be thrown away, since, maybe, some of those things could really be applied just to get one step closer to bring cruise to a new era, to something that's more realistic, a.k.a simulating real life scenarios in a virtual game
