A: You should check the RP forums too
B: It's fine to have minimal interaction to do maximum stuff for fun. You can litterly be cooped up in your work for fun in the shift and have minimal RP.
Some people are loners who take pride in their work, but remember your work has to be GOOD WORK and not: "I AM GOING TO PRANK THE STATION WITH THIS LARGE THING" That's lame... if you are going to do a big prank, involve the clown and have the clown make noise. As long as you aren't killing.
Now enough ABCs time for some serious talk.
If you feel like you aren't interacting enough... I can ask one thing... What was the job you were playing? I will say it right now that certain jobs will have way less interaction with other players then other jobs.
If you are a miner, your interactions will be limited with other crewmates, cause most of your work remains in your sector. You have no reason to MINE at the bar.
So basicly your maximum interaction is with other miners.
But if you play something like the bartender or chef.. you will get alot more interactions, since people will stop by to drink and eat from your station. This is by default.
Next is antag RP.
I'll insert this golden rule here:
"It doesn't matter what kind of antagonist you are, you do not have to follow your mission objective or blow up the station or such"
If you roll a changeling but decide to never kill people... no one will bat an eye. After all there are other antagonist Security has to deal with.
It's litterly fine to say: "I am not going to use my antag powers to make life hell, insted Im going to enhance others RP"
It's 100% fine to buy a bunch of bowling balls and shirts as a traitor and try to setup a monkey bowling league with everyone.
It's 100% fine to start a Kudzu cult as an antagonist, killing yourself and becoming Kudzu as the cult leader.
it's 100% fine as a vampire to just drink humanized monkey blood and just do dumb vampire pranks infront of people to freak them out and call security.
It's 100% fine as a changeling to never kill another player, but insted start an epidemic of shitty bills by changing people into him. (Requires eating him at space diner)
It's what you do with the tools. Antagonist only means you get options others do not have.
Last time I was a Spy Antag, I was passive. Only got myself a second gun as detective and other wise I spawned a clown car in and have the clown take a lisence test. Was a fun RP and the clown aced the test and got the car and started ubering people. Only 1 security member was angry at me for giving the clown a car, but my logic was: "It was taking up INPOUND SPACE! What if somoene comes in with a giant pod?!"
That shift the other antags were much more aggreisve and bolt so me "helping" security with them was hilarious. Since I had two guns as a det thus stun hell for the poor people who ran. I Just kept taunting them and shooting em down... telling them: "Had enough? I can do this all day"
Remember that in the future.
As for a few general RP tips:
- Do not picture yourself as the main charater. It's silly.
- If an admin does a admeme rp. Try to contribute to it as antag or not.
- Some shifts you might not get much RP, this is fine.
- Chaplain is great to setup dumb RP gimmicks, Create your own religions.
- It's okay to do a "little bit" of meta knowledge in the 1st 5 mins in my opinion to set up your gimmick. Just don't invade other departments to do this...if you need a chemical you gotta work with science or go off station to find a chem dispenser.
- Best try to involve as much departments in any RP you do. If you wanna build a racing track with betting, get as much players involved!
- Try to have fun.
- Your charater can be different in behaviour every shift.
