saying "LOL" is allowed on tag?

Not RPing on tag is something entirely different than blunt-out saying 'lololol' as a kingdom leader and in one of the most crowded areas of GK. It's almost as bad as saying 'LOL' in a RP event *cough*Nayoko*cough*.

You fall under the category of having blaringly obvious poor feelings towards the kingdoms, aswell. You're a frickin' RP Zealot and it's more annoying than having bamboo shoved under my nails, and sharpened bamboo stalks tear through my back over a long period of growth.

The kingdoms he mentioned previously.

You seem so sweet when you're smug.
I think that if you want to be a RP Zealot the better way to get results would be to do it privately, not lay on your back on the virtual floor and to kick and scream.

I'm not being that zealous at all. It isn't much to ask for kingdom leaders to RP at times and not use lol excessively.

He did 2 LOL's and an O to seperate both.
LOLOLOL

It's real simple.

You don't wan't to role-play at a specific moment? Easy, go off tag.

That's why we have "IC" and "OOC"

They need to go play Monkey Island to understand why Pirate Kingdom was first developed the way it was.

Go back to the kindergarten. This is a game and not a dictatorship.

That's funny to hear from a German =)

So, I'll just assume you don't follow any rules while playing a game? So, when you say, get tagged by someone you hit them in the face?

[Jaquet]

You ppl complain that CP and Samurai dont RP. I NEVER see ANY kingdoms RP except CP so shut the hell up already

I understand GoLink's argument here. However, it's not really a rule for members to be RPing while on tag, so... what can you do?
Also, making it a rule so that everyone RP's as much as GoLink (based on the screenshot) and myself do isn't as easy as it sounds- it's something involving an effort between all the kingdom leaders.

I also understand the idea of not RPing at trade tables- though I myself continue with standard RPing procedures no matter where I am on tag (using parenthesis), but I still understand and think it has sense to it...

While it would be fantastic for GK to improve its RPing, CP should not be removed. That will not fix anything. It would even sadden many RPers to see this. When I'm on CP tag, I RP 100% of the time, using all OOC text in parenthesis (I take it easy and use single set these days). At least 90% of the time I'm on GK, I'm on CP tag. So there are people RPing. I've RPed with some before joining CP. One guy was surprised to see a fellow RPer when him and I were killing T-Rexes in the dungeons.

I think Alan isn't doing too bad of a job as Governor. There have been worse cases of leadership. However, RPing could definitly improve throughout CP as well as throughout all of GK.

Finally, as GoZelda pointed out, a game doesn't become a dictatorship simply by having rules.

One problem with RPing rules is that if CP were to set up strict rules for RPing, people would simply go to other kingdoms where they don't have to follow kingdom rules, but instead rules related to non-RPing such as "no scamming". The membership would go down by a lot. CP would seem to be dying away... Also, there'd be problems with the few members of CP when they interact with other players in other kingdoms who you would expect to be RPing IC.

Alan, there is one thing I'd definitly like to see fixed though: Members going around on CP tag saying things such as "RP is stupid", "RPing is lame", etc. I think someone has even posted a screenshot of this. I even took a screenshot of seeing this myself, but didn't show it to anyone.

I'm sure you can't crack down on every person, but it does seem bad to have Anti-RPers in the pirate kingdom.
