saying "LOL" is allowed on tag?

I understand your opinion, and I don't mean to cause offense; and I didn't even know that I ressurected this topic, but it seems wrong to focus on the pirates like this. I've seen quite a few people from other kingdoms talk off-tag-ish (Warning: Not a word) and I've even seen a few leaders do the same. I think, then, a good rule of thumb would be to ask the particular person to RP when it is needed. I think that is fair, otherwise, allow everyone to do as they wish?

This is what is wrong. These 'leaders' shouldn't be killing RPing, they should be enforcing it.

Thats right, and people, like Alan (as you can see on the screenshots I made) can not role play.. Maybe they should put Ziro in charge again

Nice triple post there, buddy.

When you are on tag, you are considered in-character. I don't know about you, but I doubt that a Pirate, or anyone for that matter, says lawl (or however you pronounce it) in everyday speech. As for the whole "other people do it, so why are you picking on me!?" garbage: just because there are others doing it doesn't make you any less guilty.

"But your honor! There are tons of other murderers in this city! You can't put me in prison because that would be unfair! Go get them instead!"

Oh please.

Heh, fun days.

Not likely to happen though I've tried and tried loooong before. I had no support from any staff of being put back in after the incident happened. And Alan seems to like the job anyways and be online periodically- he probably won't be giving it up for a while.

So I just do what I can to help pirates from my own part- RPing, taking the job of Harbor Master (though I havn't been on much lately, it's been because I've been temporarily occupied). I can't really do much- not even look down at people who don't RP and don't want to. That got me in trouble with Valder before I became Governor.
