Bcuz ur RPin' first off bcuz u enjoy doin' it...secondly 2 win...I culd care less if I lose aslong as I enjoy RPin' against tha guy. Personally, IMO, there are sum tingz dat shuld NOT b used 2 combat an RP. Say a guy commitz a crime I dnt tink dat anotha fedder shuld say "Oh and I saw you rob blah blah blah" or whaeva...bcuz a) u shuldn't be able 2 c it nd b) if u saw it...nd tha char. wuz a gang banger or mobster...u'd b dead b4 tha match began...if u really wanna combat it u culd comment on tha criminal lifestyle tha char. livez...but u shuldn't be able 2 b like "I know about these drugs you sell and this murder you committed and this shake down, blah blah blah".
If u dnt enjoy writin nd readn RPz...whether u win or lose, or get 2 use ur opponentz shit or not, or ur opponent getz 2 use ur shit or not...den mayb u shuld find anotha hobby.

Again Devin, the realism factor. People are complaining about it and here's the deal.
Cameron and John would never be dumb enough to kill people on camera, but off camera if they can cover it up...well lookie now, it expands a story. If everyone went around saying "Well I heard rumors, that would mean that puts the character in danger of being ousted or arrested. If there's a cover up there would be no rumors on the grapevine.
I'm not saying everything I'm going to do is off camera because obviously I'm going to shoot and do some stuff on camera (Like my last rp) But some things are meant to be secrets.

The thing I've always tried stressed with CPW is freedom. Freedom to RP as much as you want, for as many characters as you want, and HOW you want. Be it a straight classic ranting promo, character development, an audio RP, or hell-- give me an entertaining slideshow. Well okay, only if you can justify a slideshow as a RP... but yeah.
RPs can be long, short, anything you want them to be. We judge them for what they are, and the key is for the roleplayer to have fun. Sure you've got your general rules "you killed the owner in a RP? wtf?" but other than that... whatever.

That pretty much sums up what I was saying before. Just do whatever you want to do in your rp and don't bitch regardless if someone uses something from it or not because again its rping not copyrighted books where you can sue someone for using it without your permission.
I get what your saying about the realism factor but then again its rping not real life. If you killed someone in a rp whether it was on camera or not you seriously think you could parade yourself on TV every single week and not get caught if you really wanna be technical about it. I don't care who you are you kill someone its gonna be reported and word will spread reguardless. Everyone gets caught eventually 95% of time.
I know all about character development and the like for example my character has a storyline where he doesn't know who his real parents are and he's searching for them. I'll talk about it in my rps and of course most of it will be off camera technically. Does that mean no one should ever talk about it or use it or say hey Devin Skylar is a parentless bastard? Fuck no it doesn't because again its a part of the character, use it, do what you want with it, give me your worst. Like revolver said its all in fun..don't take rping so seriously.

I ain't takn it seriusly wha I wuz sayn is...Cav is an Irish Mobster from Hell's Kitchen, sure u shuld allude 2 that IMO...but u shuld neva say "Well, I saw you killed so and so"...and plus if ur not in tha circle uv tha Irish Mob in Hell's Kitchen (or a diff. major crime group in NYC) or an F.B.I. Agent more than likely u'd hav no clue as 2 who wuz killd...wha his name wuz...who did it ...why it wuz done...etc. Nd yes, I kno 95% uv tha time u do get caught (unless ur fuckn Myer Lanksey)...but...wit mobsters the F.B.I. doesn't go and nab u tha 1st ting they see u do wrong...they wait nd get a large scale indictment against as many ppl in tha operation as possible wit as many feloniez nd misdemeanorz as possible on tha indictment, therefor it is more likely that u will b found guilty or plead guilty 2 summn. Sooner or later, in ery fed I've been in Cav nd his guys get indicted...nd from dat point on tha RPz focus more on tha justice system plus Cav nd his guyz tryna decide who shuldn't b 'round 4 tha trial.
On tha realism factor, u also gta remember...look at CPW or whaeva fed as if it where a major fed...they can b "staged criminal acts" to make the char. look like more uv a real life figure, instead uv some guy who comez 2 tha ring nd jus talkz 'bout mob life nd they neva show netin.

The WWE make let the Undertaker set people on fire and kill his own manager on screen, and go on to win the world title. It won't work here. They won't ban you for it, you just won't get very far.

I honestly didn't read any of his posts. Doesn't look like he said anything important anyway, but if he wanted to post walls of text he should've used a keyboard instead of his Cell Phone.

I guess it's different when you have a storyline that makes it legal, though.
But not only did I kill him, the following week I threw his son in the casket with his dead body and locked it.
...So you think Solidus still hates Jester? Maybe a little?

Can my character be a Japanese nobleman possessed by the spirit of a 2,009 year old warlock? Actually there was a character awhile ago who's character was possessed by a roman gladiator or soldier or something and he won plenty of the matches that he was in, so yeah, probably.

I'm a little over 5 years late, but the random star trek reference made me laugh.
