IC vs OOC punishments | School grounds

Im neutral on this, feel like skipping school in roleplay would be cool if you added an ic punishment to getting caught skipping, for example ur first offense is detention second offense is suspension and all that stuff but it can be misused a lot and take out the schoolrp feel of schoolrp

I think giving people the opportunity to skip school will defeat the purpose of SchoolRP. Unfortunately we can't base everything on real life as stated by rule 5.9:
Do not apply all real life principles to the roleplay universe. Karakura is a fictional island separate from Japan that has traditions and ideals that may differ from present-day, real-life Japan.

The rule of making school mandatory OOC is to ensure the community is in the location that makes SchoolRP. . . SchoolRP. The server is brought to life by its community members. Faculty needs their students to be present to function and students need faculty around to engage. The effects of having no players can be seen in non-school factions during schooltime such as shrine, kpd, ems, reporter and town and yeah like any other person I'd find it not so nice if school became rather empty.

I don't think I need to re-explain the points that have already been made by other players, but what I can say is I get where you're coming from and how it can be frustrating, so I can suggest some ways to work around it.

1) Join a club with a goofy character so there is another reason to go to school other than attending classes

2) Have better time management. If you have to pay your minecraft rent, you can make sure its before schooltime by doing /time in any srp servers with the srp bot. This should make your point 4 more manageable
 
No one can have their characters sneak out of school, which is kinda boring.
If we could, everyone would.

People wanna continue their roleplays before doing school stuff, or maybe they wanna roleplay having their character being late for school?
Staff is lenient for combat rp, but most things can he continued on school grounds.

Irl, it makes no sense if someone suddenly disappears and reappears in school grounds.
That's not irp!! :)

Your character if tped just walked to school. This bullet sounds like you were just looking for things to list. It was voided the amount of time it took your character to walk to school, the things they wanted to say? They can say later, experience? Experience later.
The basic annoyance of only logging on to check something or pay rent only to be teleported unwillingly.
I DIDN'T CONSENT TO BE TPED!!!
Come online another time.. or TALK TO STAFF. They aren't soldiers following orders and can help you out with those things if you really need to. The other option is to just not let your rent get that low.


This suggestion is only a suggestion, but it would be bad for the server. If everyone could skip out on school they would and it would become CITYRP. People already aren't required to attend classes and that's plenty.
 
I do agree it can get annoying when you get teleported out of nowhere. Sometimes you just want to log on quickly; maybe to just check something or have some sporadic IC roleplay. And suddenly, you're forced to be moved into class and then stuck for the next two hours. We've all been there during our first days as students, and we get how upsetting that can be in these specific cases.

That said, it's important to remember that student attendance is one of the core principles that keeps the school faction active and kicking. If staff stopped enforcing it, class attendance would drop significantly, and the faction as a whole would suffer (considering SchoolRP's main roleplay focus, this wouldn't be ideal). We're not denying that unlucky timing can be inconvenient, but this system exists to keep and maintain the core focus of the server.

Besides, you can always find new roleplay possibilities inside school! With all the plugins and roleplay infrastructure SRP has developed over the past years, you'll surely find something to do while you wait ^^
