What is best for a game is subjective. If you believe that the current direction and development of the game is generally a culture of limitation and removing content instead of expanding it. You could believe that the release of information which shows how much was really IN the game is actually beneficial for highlighting how much has been removed.

In addition to that, I am not so hopeful as to assume everyone on these boards wants what's best for the game. I think many people want to highlight the flaws in the games potentially to protect others from going through what they did or simply to highlight the flaws because the GDB and staff would not let them do it on the primary website.

Should roleplay be incentivized?

Yes. Even if the only reward to roleplaying is that you CAN roleplay. Providing a setting and immersive gameplay experience for roleplayers is an incentive. You'd rather roleplay on Armageddon than on an IRE MUD. That is the most basic level of reward. We are here for you to roleplay on. I think all roleplay games meet this basic level of incentive.

To expand on it though at the end of the day RP purists are not the most common form of player. Instead of arguing whether emoting when someone walks into a room with you (in the desert) or immediately coded acting is good or bad roleplay. Why not just create an incentive for roleplay over immediate coded action? You could kind of cheese it and add in an emote combat system like Burning Post II has where the pace of combat is slowed down and you can enact quick 1-2 line emotes that apply coded combat affects like aiming for the torso, disarm, defend, blah blah blah.

So Armageddon's incentive to roleplay (besides enjoyment) is karma for more unique roles and animations by Storytellers? I can see that.

Question: Does Armageddon incentivize or reward roleplay?

Elaboration: MUSHes and many RPEs have some form of reward for roleplay whether it be Roleplay XP, normal XP, character points, skill gains, etc etc.

Question: Does Armageddons lack of tangible reward for roleplay increase the amount of meta-decisions made?

I am 15 in this example.

I login to ARM

I verify I am 18+

I play the game

I am asked ooc consent and 18+?

I verify consent and 18+

How do you handle it, like give me the play by play.

But I didn't say to call a help hotline. I said to report the crime you keep saying is happening. The old put up or shut up argument. Like you could even lie and say you reported it and I'd say okay proceed with your slanted statements about how arm enables pedos.

In the Armageddon promotes pedos thread didn't I provide you with the contact information for the national child abuse hotline and point out that if you truly believe what you're saying (Kronibas) that you should report it. Like the old...

I don't condone shooting people in the head.
I believe people are being shot in the head.
I would never report people being shot in the head though.
Then you are failing your own moral imperative to not condone the shooting of people in the dead.

To use >_> you know a less pedo-y example of the situation. As always, report all suspected or actual cases of child abuse to the proper authorities so they can judge things for themselves and help the afflicted children. Discussing it on a board, if you really believe it could be going on is about on par with admitting you're bullshitting or rabblerousing.
