Dedicated Roleplay Server?

[Fox McCloud]

Like, I don't get roleplay servers and their stance towards realism. There's so many unrealistic things, like having big glass windows on a space-station. One hole in a room would send absolutely everything flying towards that hole due to the vacuum of space. Guns are also incredibly unrealistic, like bullets only travel as far as your line of sight, and can only be shot as far as your line of sight

Not all roleplay servers treat things as completely realistic; they're just about as niche as the lack of roleplay and total chaos of Goon is niche; the vast bulk of servers are somewhere in between in their treatment of realism.

If you live in such a whacky universe then the people that inherit it should also be whacky. I remember fondly I was banned from somewhere because I yelled who locked me in a locker when in "theory" I shouldn't be able to see outside a locker. :downs:

That's definitely the other opposite end of the extreme. A lot of people seem to think "roleplay" is indicative of having to play out and act like everything is 100% realistic. Don't get me wrong, there's definitely servers out there that enforce this level of RP, but the majority of SS13 "roleplay" out there is light to medium roleplay. They treat it a bit more realistically (ie: taking your job/role a bit more serious...for example, geneticists and doctors actually doing their jobs), but they still acknowledge it's a game and encompass the whackiness within it. Once in a while this already happens on Goon, just not much and it's definitely not enforced (usually on quieter rounds with low to mid population).
