Hello, my name is Soda.
I am a fairly active player on SRP, and recently through In Character and Out Of Character thinking, I have drawn the guidelines for a potential brand new system for the face of GangRP. But first, I will have to go over some of the basics.
I don't mean to be stereotypical, but I just want to outline the main qualities that a GangRP'er has, such as:
-Unable to take insults without responding via violence
-Part of a group
-Will serve anyone who causes trouble to any member of their group extreme punishments (broken bones, scars, cutting off limbs, death, etc.)
-Usually have an objective or common goal (making money, becoming the best gang, etc etc)
Now with these in mind, I'd like to describe my main idea.
The idea I have in mind is a simulation. Further elaborating, a VR game via roleplay that allows players to do whatever they feel in the game. The game could be gangster based, sort of like the THEME of the Yakuza franchise- not the actual game itself, but the theme.
This would allow players who tend to focus on the GangRP aspect of the server to migrate to this VR game. A couple of huge potential benefits to this idea include:
-If a character cannot actually die, less arguments will occur OOCly
-If its a game, everyone will be on an equal playing field. There will be no advantages other than having skill in the game.
-Everyone can enjoy GangRP equally.
There are also a few disadvantages that should also be noted. These are:
-Possible decrease in the amount of work the KPD would have to do
-Threat of death is no longer a major factor in moving roleplay forward for some people's characters.
Of course, GangRP outside of this VR simulation should still be possible. The entire objective of the VR simulation is to make roleplay less restrictive and gangRP based in some situations(The server is named SchoolRP, right?). You could argue that some people log on to the server simply to participate in GangRP, so this could be a healthy solution for the better. Also, SRP players seem to enjoy competing, so I think this would be interesting to see.
Something else I would add is that SRP should become a little more city-based roleplay wise, with the addition of more jobs and institutions, which will allow more people to become different things. I think this will add to the realism of SchoolRP as a whole.
I would like an opinion from a staff, though. How do you think this would benefit OOCly? ICly? Perhaps I could add or get rid of a piece of the idea, in order to make it better. Anyways, thanks for reading my post, I wonder what you think of it.
