Wazzup, Ryan here. I am making this thread for all the newbies out there and other people who may not know about Roleplay terms.
As far as I know, some people on other servers don't know the complete meaning of Roleplay, they just think they can just DM and do what they want.. Like DM is just killing someone without any reason by the way.. No, every part of RP has deep explanation, and it affects every aspect on the game, So in this post I'll try to explain most of the Role Playing Basic Vocabulary, so next time you can decide if you're MGing or breaking any Rules.
Roleplay (RP)
Role Play taking a role and playing it like in real life, It's a common SAMP game mode, when Playing on RolePlay server, you're playing a person. It's fun as long as you keep it realistic and you don't constantly break rules.
In Character (IC)
IC is your character, for example, my In Game Character is Ryan Riversparks. I am acting like a Chinese male in-game, My Character is, calm person, stubborn, patient, and like to make friends with everyone, but isn't afraid to pull a Glock in someone's face. This is my character that I control what he likes and does. Also Don't mix your characters feelings with how you feel OOCly about someone. For Example : Once When I began Rping on some other servers, I hated someone OOCly but he gave me money for work IG. So it was all good.
Out of Character (OOC)
Out of Character is some IRL, who controls there character IG. You can talk OOC using /b /sms ((with brackets at the end ofc)) and /f. you're allowed to talk OOCly everything about your OOC but not about IC that will be considered as Mixing or kinda more like MG. And remember you're not allowed to OOC Insult other than IC. You're allowed to talk about yourself OOCly but don't do it ICly as that we be considered Metagaming (MG).
If you're using OOC information and using it IC, don't do it. It is forbidden and not allowed. Like meeting someone OOCly and then calling them ICly. That's never allowed.
Example : You meet a girl and her name is Sarah, but you have never met her In-Game and you see her name above her head and say "Hi Sarah, you want to go to dinner?" That's MG because you knew her OOC ( You know her IRL ) and because you read her name above her head then you use that information Icly to say hello to her.
A right way to get another person's name is asking them. "Hi, what's your name, I'm Max!" He/she replies: "Hey Max, I'm Sarah, nice to meet you!" - say this. without metagaming.
Powergaming (PG)
Powergaming has two definitions : 1. Forcing another into a RP Situation
2. Doing unrealistic things, that you can't do in real life.
1. Forcing RP
ex : You want to kill someone, let's name him Travis.
/me Aims his deagle towards Travis's head and blows his head off -WRONG
You have to give him the chance to resist
ex: /me Aims his deagle to Travis's head and tries to shoot him.
/do S/F ?
Travis : /do F Because it's too far and he is hidden behind a bin.
He can resist but he has to do so with realistic roleplay.
The second example: doing unrealistic things.
/me takes a can and throws it with full power, and it lands on the moon. - .WRONG.
No one could do that In Real Life. You must be realistic.
Sadly, people abuse the powergaming rule, since they are so smart and tough that they think they can resist everything.
DeathMatch (DM)
DM is killing a player for no reason. Just shooting them because you likes to shoot and kill, That is a serious offense. It can result in being prisoned and in some serious cases, being banned.
Revenge Kill (RK) - attempting to physically harm a player who has killed you before for the same reason - killing you. Some people think that Revenge Kill is only when you actually kill the person, but it is also physically harming them. This is simple - you are going to kill your killer, for revenge. You can't do that, because of a simple rule - when you "die" (critically injured, unless it's a Player Kill), you lose 30 minutes of memory. So you can't remember who killed you.
Associated with Metagaming (Above)
Kill on Sight (KoS)
Either killing everybody you see (associates with DeathMatching, see above), or killing a certain person you hate as many times as you want. This is forbidden and not tolerated.
Driver Dirive-by (DDB)
Shooting from a driver's position with a MP5/uzi/Tec-9. Forbidden, why? Because it's very fast and auto-aims at the target. Only your mates sitting in passenger's position may shoot.
Car Ramming
Attempting to physically harm another player or his vehicle with another vehicle. Forbidden, because it increases Non-Roleplay.
non-RP Name
a name which isn't suitable In Real Life. So you got kicked for it, eh? A name cannot be non-sense, such as "12345_ewrs", the First Name and Last Name first letters must be capitalized, and the name can't have numbers. In short, give your character a name your mother would give to you. Like John_Sharp or Dylan_Riversparks
Car Park
Harming a player with your vehicle planted on him. This is not allowed simply because that it would be abused.
Spawn Killing
Repeatedly killing players/player where they spawn (hospital). Almost the same with DM and KOS
Refusing RP
You use Alt Tab, /q or Esc and Exit game to avoid death, Arrest or even RP situation, IRL you can't just freeze then disappear.
Exploit and Abusing Bugs
Simple, it's just exploiting game/script bugs for your advantage. Not gonna say any examples, as people might abuse them. (lol)
Chicken Running
Running in zigzags to avoid being shot at (with this kind of sync, hard to hit.). It's running like a retard from side to side. If you don't want to get jailed for Chicken Running, run straight forward And don't do it.
Crack Shooting
Exploiting an animation to shoot faster with a deagle/shotgun. It is, pressing some buttons (not gonna say), to avoid the shooting animation of a deagle/shotgun (most used, you can CS with other guns, but not so effectively as these), and you can shoot faster. Associated with Exploiting (see above)
Quick Swapping
Exploiting a bug making a gun go automatically reloaded without an animation.
Example: You have 100 bullets, 7 in a clip. You shoot 6 bullets, switch to your other gun and switch back to the first one. Instead of 1 bullet, you have another 7.
Bunny Hop
Holding "sprint" button and jumping at the same time to travel faster. Associates with non-RPing, no one jumps In Real Life to travel faster.
RushTaze - tazing a suspect who is shooting or aiming at you. Simple, you won't risk your life doing it, in Real Life, you would respond with fire. Guide here - Click Me
Healing on Brawl or Gunfight
You can't heal in gun fight, or a brawl. You must either make sure you've completely evaded/eliminated your threat, and go to replenish your health points. Even better, call an ambulance and RP. Healing includes getting armor in any way. (including drugs) Since this ain't a hardcore roleplay server, just healing after you evaded/eliminated your opponent by sprunk/meals is OK. (Not punishable here )
Player Kill
It's not the same as a normal kill is. You will lose your memory, and status in faction, and sometimes, depending on a type, you lose cars, money and such. In order to PK someone, you must show great RP on the kill.
Character Kill (CK)
This is the ultimate kill. If you get CKed, or CK yourself, you will lose everything. Your vehicles, houses gets sold, money gets removed. The account is sometimes banned (only the account's name, not the IP.) It is a must to completely roleplay it. In some servers, you get CK if you pass the amount of times you can die. (Normal death)
Ass-pull
Asspull - Non-RPing taking a gun out of inventory aka scrolling to change/draw a weapon. GTA:SA doesn't have an animation of drawing out a weapon (unlike GTA IV), so if possible, you should Rply take your gun out with /me, but it isn't required.
Example: /me takes out a deagle from his inner shirt pocket.
Be cautious with this, sometimes people do unrealistic things too, not RPing big guns properly
ex: /me takes out an AK47 behind his jacket - WRONG
you can't put an AK behind your jacket, you have to RPly first with /do
ex: /do brings a big black bag
/me Put down the bag, opens it up and takes an AK from inside.
Any Question? You can PM me, Enjoy and Let's RP in Game.
