Pips Flickr Pics Submission “ Battle by : Susanne Drechsler tar is otherwise safe … and left with boring options to RP against . Pew Pew is so destructive to true storytelling BUT , if used wisely , can be used to guide a story when battle ensues . Remember it leaves your character ’ s fate to a computer and the Lag Monster , rather than your cunning mind and writing skills , but it does give the players a result to RP against . It ’ s fun for those who want to be captured or who want to do the capturing , when a player wants something a little lighter for a while . It also , in a many cases , gives players and sim admins so much drama with “ HEY ! That ’ s not fair I ’ m not out , it lagged , we have to do it again !”
Sorry gang , whatever an admin see ’ s in the green text of the local chat log of a pew pew match … goes ! You need to be wearing the “ big boy pants ” to take a loss ! Here ’ s a little hint though … the best RP ’ rs I ’ ve ever known , that I loved most to RP with , were those who I watched lose a battle either in
Pew Pew or Role-play . These players have the most wit , the most cunning minds the greatest potential and are the most enticing to create a storyline with ! So , don ’ t be afraid to lose , it actually means you ’ re the better Role-player !
QUICK FIX : Use pew-pew only like a coin toss to determine a direction for RP . Listen to the admins and the rules they set forth . A lot of people spent a lot of time to create these rules in order to make things as fair as possible and keep a community as fun as possible for everyone ! Rules are NOT your enemy ! Also , don ’ t argue with Sim Admins , you auto-lose ! Don ’ t cry “ not fair ” and don ’ t make an admin ’ s life miserable ! They have a difficult job and don ’ t get to play as much as the rest of us ! Take pity on them and , take your losses with grace and dignity and find a way to turn them into a win later , by creating powerful and fun RP stories ! Get Creative ! Use your minds , not your computer ’ s zero ’ s and one ’ s !
