Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
Roleplaying isn't (or at least it shouldn't be) having a polite conversation with someone. What happened to paranoia? Are people not comfortable hating or disliking someone in character but not out of character?
People don't want to offend others, people don't want to make people dislike them OCC. Whenever one person is trying to kill another person they usually try to be funny to show that out of character they are not serious and don't dislike you. This sucks for immersion. The MRP rules certainly aren't helping.
If it helps MRP players, I give you permission to hate and be mean to any other character in-game, without hating them out of character. If you are concerned about it talk with them OCC after the round to make sure there are no hard feelings, and if there are it's their fault for not being able to separate game and reality.
So go out, be speciesist and petty. Mean spirited and paranoid. Insult someone and then throw their drink across the room when they insult you back. Demean a person missing a leg. Try to see characters, and not people behind screens.

Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
I agree wholeheartedly. It’s weird that on the MRP server where people are presumably playing characters, spacemen are less likely to have interesting personalities than LRP. The majority on Manuel is a variation on Theresa Friendsmile: the lovable, kind, and polite friend to all creatures. It’s boring! It’s MRP for honkmother’s sake! RP a little! Be impatient! Have limits to your generosity! Treat aliens with discomfort or disdain! Deal with your underlings like the pointy-haired boss from Dilbert! Spice the station up a little!

I don't even think people on LRP are that mean either, people generally aren't malicious or rude on purpose by default. Pretend racism and being actively hostile to people on a whim isn't really roleplay either, you know.

Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
The current problem is that if you try to be a socially grumpy or antagonistic person a lot of players see it as an opportunity to escalate and they'll take it because you're inconveniencing their round.
Manuel generally has a problem with people looking to have "ideal rounds" where they are dismayed at the kinds of random station events that are what keep the game fresh. A simple example of this would be hacking into tech storage as a botanist because you NEED insuls to hack your vending machine. It's kinda like a bunch of small cases of Rule 10.
Take this concept and then try to apply it to broader social tensions. Not only do we have issues of players being inelegant with their initial aggressions but its just as likely that the recipients will go beyond what you would expect in some semblance of a work environment. Players are frequently so eager to act that they don't let things simmer and develop.
With other projects they go so far as to say "Hey, everyone in this world is kind of miserable and mean to each other. If you don't think you can do that you can play a nice or happy character just understand that bad things will happen and you're expected to react to that."
If the head of my department is being a big jerk about things (intentionally, with a good sense of style) I'm actually going to seek them out for interactions, personally. But I definitely think that there are some players who would chafe under that and get very reactionary.
People just gotta be ready to be entertained by difficult crew members, idk.

oh sure they're nice and accepting until you get into a minor IC escalation with one of the server's popular statics and then you're going to be run out of the server by constant and repeated metagrudging by around 30% of the population.

maybe conflict should be driven by people having contradictory objectives and needs rather than "I'm going to be an abrasive shithead for no other reason than I decided to make a character that does that and now for some mysterious reason none of the other characters want to associate with the person that's an abrasive shithead"

Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
Good point, but also I think you misunderstand my view. I'm not advocating you play "Mr. Asshat" who loves stepping on kitten tails and spews nothing but insults. Just that everyone being in a state of perpetual niceness or sometimes witless indifference makes a really boring and unrealistic RP environment that fails to foster conflict.Screemonster wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 12:45 am maybe conflict should be driven by people having contradictory objectives and needs rather than "I'm going to be an abrasive shithead for no other reason than I decided to make a character that does that and now for some mysterious reason none of the other characters want to associate with the person that's an abrasive shithead"
Conflict for sure is sparked by disagreements and conflicting objectives, but it is fueled by character.
if you are hungry and the chef is making shitty food (conflict of interests), I imagine the default manual response is quiet resignation as you go to pick up something from a vending machine, or maybe politely asking the chef to make you something if you are feeling brave. A better response would be to confront the chef, call his food shit, and threaten to report him to the HOP if he doesn't start making better food. If the chef responds with anything but submission, congrats you have an RP conflict.

Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
part of the problem is being mean etc is generally disincentivized because even ignoring the other stuff, it means someone has less of an IC reason to interact with you (why would my character want to talk to someone who isn't nice to them?) which means that you get to roleplay less in general
i have one static that's antisocial and another that's just a jerk sometimes, and it helps that they're both established characters, but ive definitely ran into situations where people just have no real IC reason to WANT to interact with a mean static (which is totally fair, of course, and i dont really have a work around for this.)
another thing is that playing a mean static is a balancing act because if you go too far you're just OOC griefing someone.
I'd imagine that another issue that comes with it is that manuel has its fair share of popchasers and LRP shitters who aren't roleplaying being mean, they just actually are being a dick, and it can be discouraging to try to roleplay with one and then just getting wordlessly shoved/having your shit stolen/etc
I love IC conflict but it usually requires a good few things to align (both players are mature, decent roleplayers and have a valid IC reason for their characters to dislike each other) which is why it doesnt happen very often

I remember the days on basil even when you had a bunch of metagrudge groups, a bit of space racism and an ounce of murder. Acting nice then felt unique and genuine, now it feels like an expectation. But then again, it wasn’t strictly better, just different. My 2 cents.
