This is probably my 3rd time taking a break from the community, but sometimes you just need one every once in a while. I've really enjoyed my time here and am glad to have spent it with all of you regardless of how things went IC. I feel as if I connected with a lot of people over my past few characters (Ondrej Bezdek, Clyde Matthews) and I hope to come back to a fresh start and hopefully see new people, new groups and hopefully I feel more motivation to play once I come back. I hope this community changes quite a bit before I get back and I would tag a bunch of people but you don't need me to tag you to know you're appreciated, if you shared RP (Hostile or non-hostile) with me I already appreciate the time you shared with me. Cya later everyone and thanks for everything.

This was a group of roleplayers new to the community, they probably had no hostile experience at all but managed to display quite a good hostile experience. Roleplay goes both ways and these guys had the chance to steal all of my gear but decided not to and they maintained a good standard roleplay. They had no reason to initiate but this is the kind of stuff I would love to see in the community and that's why I did not report them.

I also play guitar and sing, not that well. But I play in-game sometimes and hide my horrible singing voice behind the accent I put on because my character is Chernarussian Hope to see you in game.

Hope we can hide behind the back seats >:)

I'm so heartbroken I posted this so late, you were one of my bestest friends on here. I hope you do what you need to do and I will miss you. I'll be here when you get back

I would say it's BadRP if they're playing a Chernarussian character and out of nowhere they start speaking without an accent to avoid being initiated on or to get the drop on somebody. With my character Ondrej if he attempts to speak without an accent, you can still tell he has an accent as he finishes certain words.

It's really nice to see a lot of Chernarussian characters being made.

*Que bad boys theme*

I'm usually hard on IC recruitment. My character doesn't have any intentions on joining, but he can either be pushed into joining or convinced to join up since he originally never finished his contract (Enlistment contract, the amount of years you pledge to serve when joining the military) when he joined before the infection. Met one of your guys in Zelenogorsk he suggested I go up to Green Mountain so I might just do that sometime.

It's too bad that's in the last lore :'(

It's written on the google doc I think

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Welcome back! Luka Reznov still wants his book back.

I doubt that will be added, as that falls under powergaming. People shouldn't be forced to roleplay something else, if they really wanted to and were ready to they would give permission. I in fact sometimes play guitar in character, it takes me a few days of practice to perfect each song and learn to sing as well. If someone took a finger off my character just because their character wanted to it would completely ruin my roleplay experience as you need all four fingers to play most songs, that would be a complete waste of my time and I'd probably leave the community at that point. You can easily bring some variety into the role play instead of scarring everyone you come across.

I agree with being able to initiate on anyone you feel like, but being able to perma scar and cut of fingers without permission I don't agree with. That's just totally moulding the rules to allow people to just scar every single person they come across. What if you cut of a characters finger and they're a musician? You've destroyed all potential RP they're going to do because they revolve their roleplay around playing music. Scarring wouldn't be good either, because then you'd just run around finding people with scars from every groups that they were unfortunate enough to stumble upon. Hostile groups should strive for more than just scarring their victims, that's cliche and hostile-RP should involve more than that. Allowing people to scar hostages without permission will only further motivate people to not comply at all in fear of being turned into a human notepad
