I'm sure many others have realized the huuuuge potential for awesome RPs with all of Alpha's new (well, some are not so new to others, but I hadn't played in months so everything besides crafting was new to me) features. I keep imagining little villages built up, connected by a protected minecart train. Wars happening between opposing cities. Bandits. All kinds of stuff that could work if everyone was willing to work together to make it.
I realize not every server will be for serious RPing, but if I run mine again, it definitely will be. There are some issues, though, and I want to know how what other serious RPers think of them.
1. Most importantly: how many other people are gonna take it this seriously?
2. What if during an RP, a law enforcement system springs up and allows for the arrest of unruly players (not griefers, but RPers that killed someone else or something). There's obviously no mechanism to tie someone down and bring them to jail (at least, not yet), so what could be done? Maybe if the offender is beaten down to 2 hearts he has to submit to the offenders?
Hm, I agree with that. I think I more meant it in that sense, like following rules and having an organizational system that people WOULD follow (though I do think having positions like a law enforcement officer would be fun in a large enough server, so I guess there's a bit of genuine RP in there).
RP is kinda gay, i mean, in a sense i would, but i wouldn't be like adding ranks and **** to it. actually, scratch that i might, but still, it wouldn't be like OMG I IS A CREEPER YOU IS MINECRAFT YOU DOES RUN.
I mean, like, i'm not going to add law enforcement past standard griefer preventing actions.

What? So when pigs get hit by lighting, they suddenly develop into bipeds and receive brown leather skirts and golden swords from nowhere?
"beat someone into submission"? They can either
1. Come along without getting hurt
2. Fight
3. Try to escape
Prison just needs some lava. Example: if you break the wall lava will pour down on you.
Well I assume that death just respawns you, so they'd be able to constantly evade capture if they let you kill them.

Then why are you in this topic? I'm not saying everyone has to RP, but I want to ask a few questions for those who do.
I'd like to RP as in we all have our jobs, we don't kill each other. Maybe even write a history of the place with books. But talking normally, acting normally (as in we can pillar)

That's the kind of thing I'm thinking of, though I can imagine some cool wars or rebellions happening if opposing groups are allowed.
If I am going to play on servers other than my own, they are going to be RP servers.
I never play RP servers in creative, I feel the right mechanisms for RP aren't in place. But SMP offers the missing pieces and it will allow me to finally get my RP on.
I'm not a devout RPer though, tbh I've never RP'd in my entire life. But if there ever was a game for me to start, it would be Minecraft right?
I would probably play under one of my alts though.
I doubt I'd be interested in Minecraft RP unless it took place in a really clever setting (something like Homestuck or Journey-Esque) and had a GM who used an inventory editor to set up various things ahead of time.
Otherwise, it'd just be Minecraft but with more "I STABBETH THOU, FOUL BOMB-WRAITH!". **** that.

The inquisitors were torturing Harry.
First, Ignatius used the rock.
Then Billy asked Harry if he wanted to read his BDSM blog. Harry was so surprised that his pants flew right off. He was wearing women's underpants. The inquisitors were wearing them, too.
First, we will make the capital of our world, then introduce money. We will create some differents jobs. After that, there will be an opportunity to create their own independent village from the capital. And lots of other things like wars between villages, etc. .. : D
I will be a ninja hermit, stealing peoples stuff (even the mediocre stuff) without them noticing! I will build a hidden stash, which will grow indefinetly until the world explodes! :biggrin.gif:
There, that is my motivation to RP. I don't know, never done much RP'ing in games before. Might start with SMP.

I agree, I never felt like trying it in creative. Alpha feels great for it though.

However, we are a French community.
Sounds pretty good, though I can't imagine currency working as opposed to the barter system. How many of you are there? Maybe if there are enough fluent English speakers, they'd be interested in spinning off into a similar, separate server?

Awesome! Any idea what kind of stuff you'll be doing? Also, will it be open?

5 = 1
1 = 1
1 = 100
And the barter system is available, but per example, if you want to trade your iron sword against some , you can.
So, we are 12, 6 persons per city. And i think(i think uh? i'm not sure) i'm the only who speak english a bit
