Dalcyte Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thanks scruffman for this thread idea first off. Something i noticed particularly in cw but all over is that some noobs have an urge to go way into the belief of the gods, so far to that you might think they believe in them. Particulary if you're walking around with you're new zammy armor and someone goes up to you and says "noob, zammy's a loser". You think, "what they hey? its just an armor... :? " or at cw, when people say "ZAMMORAK LET US CRUSH SARA, GIVE ME YOU'RE STRENGTH!!!!" except its spelled wrong and worse, but thats the best example i can think of now. Anyway, the point of this thread is to say what you thnk of this and/or post a example of someone getting a little to far into god belief in rs.. EDIT: Alright, people are really mistaking this. Here's a good example of what i'm talking about from muggi. Looong ago when splitbark was first released, I saw some person talking to himself wearing guthix, full splitbark, etc. Someone asked him where he got the armor. Instead of saying "Oh, I bought it," or "Oh, I worked in the shade tombs for it," he was way too over-dramatic saying things like "and I became one with nature, devoting my spirit, my soul, and myself to Guthix and nature..." blah blah blah its the over-dramatic things like that is what i'm trying to get at. not at like zamorak empower me type things. I guess my example at top is not very good then. Please read this one before posting now.

wakka102 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 not at all. I say those kinds of things all the time. The first comment on saying zammy is a loser is just saying that he doesnt like the god or he doesnt like the color of the armor. The second comment about crushing saradomin I've probably said in many variations. It just adds to the fun of the game and sometimes gets you some laughs when your hangingout with buddies in rs :D .

bryguy27007 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I think that the person asking for strength was kidding, I though it was funny at least. I don't think you should believe in any of the gods. But I don't think it is wrong to have a faviorte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake_Corsair Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Well, it's not called a role-playing game for nothing. For some people, the acting out as they would want their character is all part of the game and the fun. If Jagex ever made a perfect update, there would be players complaining about nothing to complain about.[hide=My Stats][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathhead154 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Bah, it's funnier when you chase everyone out of the Barbarian village bar preaching death and destruction in the name of Saradomin...

Adam007 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 That's what the rpg element is about. It seems equally ridiculous to me - but they get into it and the game's set up for that kind of immersion. They're just exploring their psyche. Role playing can be fun if you get into it. They have the energy and interest - you and I don't. But just because we don't doesn't mean we can't objectively understand that they do, and not think they're weird for it.

Mr_Hyde1218 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 you know whats fun? going onto the zammy team in cw or into a big group of pro-zammy's and calling zammy "emo." i know, it has nothing to do with the actual character but its fun to see the "noob"'s fly across the screen :lol: proud quest cape ownerhere's my first post on the TIF (scroll to the bottom)feel free to pm me, but do make sure that i know you're a Tip.It user (in other words, give me a HYT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbiggsx Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 RS is a mmorpg (massive multiplayer online role playing game) simply some people like role playing. it makes the game more then just a game so to speak, your just not controling your character you are the character. rping helps achive this. i too often find myself shouting "death to the non-belivers" before blasting them to hell with flames of zammy ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinotl Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 In a choice between white/blue, red/black, or green I choose red/black and therefore am incorrectly aligned with Zamorak. My character is an Aztec lost in Asgarnia and therefore does not believe in any of the RS Gods - instead following his Goddess Itzpapalotl. Does my roleplaying mean that I forsake my beliefs in real life? No more than PKing breaks the 1st commandment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy123 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Well I had a fresh one of tutorial come up to me and she asked where a few things were. As the person i am i showed her. She added me. She started to call me master. I added her to my ignore after she got annoying. Then about a month later i was casually walking through varrock up to the bank... There sha was... I bolted it, and just managed to get away. My Gallery :: Deviant Art ->Gallery :: Favourites :: ::My blog :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
