God, that fucking subject doesn't sound serious at all.
Oh well, I have an entirely serious question for most of the people here.
Not trying to troll or anything, I'm just genuinely curious.
Why do you guys roleplay in all of these different games?
I can KIND OF understand Stalker, G-Mod Dark RP, Etc. But Terraria/Minecraft? howhowhowhowhow.
This is just me trying to understand.
OH, and the frequent posts? I kind of do that, and there seems to be a lot of stuff for me to post on.
Expect me to be close to you all like the creepy uncle you don't really like.

Uh because the lore of minecraft and terraria is so deep and the characters are so real, graphics, etc, and they are built for RPing clearly.
I'd like to know that too, Fister. Terrarians come to GVC, they may tell you why.
The door is over there.
I have no idea how someone can RP in Minecraft. Last time I checked RP server it was horrible bullcrap filled with power hungry 12 year old kids as admins who did not even know what "RP" stands for.

inb4 someone who doesn't understand GVC or RP comes along
Seriously though terraria is just more accessible due to the lack of backstory allowing us to do whatever the hell we want with the game and the world, secondly it is more accessible due to the fact that you just need the game as to a newbie the SVN shit can be confusing and annoying when textures or models don't work or you don't have the correct games and whatnot. All of this accessibility means we have a more varied and expansive experience with people coming and going with many ideas and frames of mind whereas in the GMod servers it is generally more of a core player base (at least to my knowledge). The third way in which we are accessible is the nature of the game allows every person to make their own physical creations which are there instantly in game as opposed to learning how to work SDK then sending your map to Silver and hoping he likes that shit (or however additions work).
This means that Terraria RP is a much more versatile experience with changes constantly occurring in which you can create any RP you want as long as it fits in with the small backstory/lore and seems acceptable to the community and the moderators. On the other hand you need to know a load about what has happened in the GMod universes to understand what's going on, this is especially true to the SWRP (which I'm going to play a load when/if it comes out hopefully) where you will have had to have read the entire Wookipedia to understand it.
tl;dr Terraria RP is easy to pick up and play making it a very versatile and generally happier place to RP
I've probably forgotten loads of things and this is really only scraping on one aspect of it, I will discuss and defend Terraria RP if anyone is up for discussion in this thread and hopefully stop the bullshit myths surrounding us in the process.
This post seems to serious, so here's a cat:

Thanks for the answer.
BUT
I can understand how people RP in games like G-Mod because of the mods that you can put in it to make it more of fun(no) RP environment, with Terraria(I'm assuming it's vanilla) how the hell can you seriously roleplay on Terraria? You're saying it's easy to pick up and play, that is true, but only for the actual game itself. Again, not trying to troll if anyone is taking it that way.

its funny to see you glorifying terraria rp as if its the most easiest thing ever, but we all know that terraria noobs are the only ones spamming shoutbox and forums about getting the password.
RP is great and easy to get into?
I can't understand how you can even call that serious roleplay. God-gaming(in literal sense of it), powergaming, roleplaying a character with abilities that can disintegrate someone in one touch and generally creating ideas that only a 12 year old would deem acceptable is nothing but an excuse for roleplay. I understand that standards are different but it was quite amusing to see the day that these kind of actions were restricted by rules, because it took about a year for you hear and accept that it's wrong, but not understanding why. You also have an elitist rating system that is apparently aiming to fix those issues, but unfortunately for caphori it's just going to cause the opposite in the long run.
and there won't be SWRP

1) The shoutbox problem originates from idiots who don't read even the simplified rules and therefore are ignored
2) God RPing is over, now abolished
3) OP RPing is now stopped by observing someone's RPR (roleplay rating) and then if a mod has brought together enough evidence to show the person is OP they get a temp ban
4) Characters with the ability to kill in one touch have never existed, please give an example
5) How would observing character's abilities, taking advice and opinions from people in the community and then compiling all of this to give constructive criticism and then handing out retributive justice encourage elitism and harm balance in the long term? Please explain further how it is elitist
The only annoying thing about posts such as these are that they are completely non-constructive just pointing out dated flaws and making vague accusations such as how our system of rating RP is imbalanced and elitist. Tell us
specifically what is wrong and how we can
improve it or all that will happen is your feedback will be seen as trolling to us and most of us will flat out ignore it (see http://www.forums.hypergamer.net/terraria-caphori-roleplay-server/where-are-all-the-old-people-at/ (http://www.forums.hypergamer.net/terraria-caphori-roleplay-server/where-are-all-the-old-people-at/) ).

You came off quite missing the point, which doesn't surprise me at all considering my past experience with Terraria administration and your previous post. I'm not sure whether that kind of behavior I was just met with comes from bad reading or ignorance, but I'll assume that it's the former for the sake of not getting into another pointless trench war. You decided to rephrase some of the exact things I said, great, but why? The '1 hit 1 kill' idea was obviously a hyperbole, but I won't be astounded if someone had that in mind for their character. It took you over a year to observe a situation to find and recognize very obvious mistakes. None of the administrators even bothered to repair or even address it! The point system combined with player rank(bronze, silver, gold) is going to generate elitism and encourage favoritism just because! That's not some sort of assumption of mine, but a fact. If an administrator
thinks that some player
deserves better position/rank/gear and he/she has access to abilities that can guarantee these rewards, then it's likely that it's going to be handed out to players that have better relations with the administrator, because
in their opinion, it's
justified and the player
deserves it. Your 'accusations' of me 'pointlessly' accusing you of improper leadership aren't very helpful.
The fact that the first, and last things you said were only about 'ignoring any feedback/criticism' makes me
extremely doubt the legitimacy of Caphori's leadership, because I hear that pretty much
all the time when I question your methods.
SWRP won't be up because the development of HGN is saturated at the moment and its playerbase is not ready for another project.

We avoid the favouritism by having a large team of moderators who can discuss it between each other and the players in the community, we will see what the consensus is between everyone, if a moderator sees blatant ass kissing to another moderator then they will usually become more suspicious of kisser of asses (see the character Eddy), this fact that we have many trusted players means that if one moderator is blinded by friendship another moderator can step in. That is how we tackle the problem of favouritism.
The point which I was making was not that you shouldn't point out flaws but that you should back up your arguments with either evidence or a specific place for us to improve on (or a way to improve that) such as how you have done here by focusing on elitism.
The last thing I said was for you to please make your criticism useful to us by providing specific information on what is wrong, instead of claiming everyone is OP and that are systems are wrong without detailing it, which you did in this post and congrats. The first thing I said was fixing the flaws in your statements as half of them were complete BS and the other half were just outdated since before the wipe, you cannot analyse our characters and their RP ability just by glansing over at the Caphori forum once in a while, just like I couldn't make the assumption that all stalker players are terrible as shown by the fact that I looked there once and I saw a poorly written character sheet.
This is in the morning just before I go out the door so expect my reply to be in about 8 or 9 hours.

I'm speaking from my own experience, most of which comes from Garry's Mod over the course of 5 years. If you compare what I said to GMod RP then you'll find it to be true because the priorities in that environment are such as I described - 1)gear, 2)admin, 3)rp and the player adapts to this environment. By adding a system that makes you climb a ladder of power, you will enforce elitism by rewarding behavior that you think is correct and roleplay becomes less important. Now I'm not sure whether that also goes for every roleplay environment outside of GMod but it's about the time you find out that I don't have Terraria and I've never played on Caphori. This doesn't mean I've never seen RP outside of gmod but my point is that you shouldn't see criticism, of any kind, as meaningless, because it's hardly the case unless you're being trolled, which wasn't the case here. I told you what I thought and you instantly began to dig the trench as soon as you heard it's something relatively negative. My opinion was met with hostility and you expect something better in return? I'm not the one that is supposed to look over Terraria and you should know all this better.
I'm locking this because I'm going away for a week and I don't think I will care about this once I come back.
Good game, sir, well played.
