Hi, I have noticed a lower quality of the role play with school faction (employee, teachers, professors) and it effectively discouraged me from doing ANYTHING during IC school time. Why you may ask?
While yes, there are some people that role play very well, there are also some who refuses to. They will simply punish you for role playing, which is hilarious. Let’s start from the beginning.
- Dumb detention reasons. Yes, this should be taken In Character. But how can I take it ICly if it might cause suspension (which also means removal from Journalism for my character) We reached the maximum level of absurdity, when you get detention for wearing a onesie, even the christmas one. No, onesies aren’t costumes, just like my character explains everytime. Another silly reason, my friend got detention for swearing during class. While yes, this is miss behaving, but warning system EXISTS in school. 3 warnings, then detention. It’s a OOC rule I believe. After she tried to speak up for herself and role play it out with good arguments and good points, teacher kicked her out of class. Yup.
- Abuse of SLT reports (reporting EVERYTHING). When I was still a councillor, and I had access to look into SLT reports, I was getting a headache from reading some of these. Some reports just… shouldn’t be there. And I’m not surprised SLT stopped caring about this channel, amount of not-attention worthy reports was huge. Example? My character was threatened with SLT report because she waited outside detention (About 10 blocks from doors) for her girlfriend. Yes, employee said it was loitering. And we’re getting with this to next point.
- FearRP (Forcing you to obey by forcing ‘rule’ because I can’t do it normal way by IC conversation). This is where I will go all out. This should go for the suggestions, but firstly I wanna hear what SRP community thinks about it. Again, as Ex Councillor I think FearRP sucks. Yes, as someone who could force it, I was AVOIDING it. I did that only in rare cases, when it was ultimately not realistic to act in such a way. Why? Because FearRP are guidelines, every character is different and fear is not equal. Someone can be feared of spiders, someone might find them cute. For example, why someone who literally made VERY poor crimes, hurt a lot of people and maybe even killed some, tell me why they would obey a teacher that threatened him with detention slip? I know why FearRP exists in such a way in school, but it’s ABUSED by faculty. Instead of roleplaying you just write /looc fearRP. Next example, why my character should be feared of faculty member that clearly abuses their perks and powers. It’d be fine if not FearRP was forced, but they usually force it. So what you do when you’re not right, and you want to shut up someone? Threaten with SLT! So, your rights are missing because you can’t speak up for yourself, and you can’t do anything about it. Because faculty is ‘always right’.
Solution? Expecting players to FearRP REALISTICALLY in the true meaning of that word. If you have good reason to act that way, you SHOULD be allowed to. Like I said, everyone is different In Character. For my character, she disobeys faculty very often, but respects SLT decisions. She doesn’t want to end up suspended, after all. While others, might not care like her. Why a serial killer would care if they expel him from school?
That would be all. Thanks for reading this little rant. I had to throw it out from myself, I am truly disappointed how did the faction changed. I used to have more fun doing ‘schoolrp’ on this server. I focus on developing my own character and spend my time somewhere else. Spending time in school on SCHOOL ROLEPLAY DAMN SERVER isn’t fun for me either OOCly and ICly. Not anymore. I value the good role play.
Small note: I am not going to point out anyone, that wouldn’t be okay. But people who recognises their actions, please think about it. Please, do not must win.
