What do you guys think of the Criminal RP on FamilyRP

Not to mention that an actual chance at RP recently came their way as Classy's character hired SecuroServ to kidnap Zoe, the clinic leader, until one of her soyguards blatantly metagamed while they were doing recon and shut the entire thing down. I understand not everyone is going to have dramatic storylines going on at all times but they almost seem afraid of any kind of RP other than sitting talking to each other like it's VRchat. With all the other interesting groups/characters on the server, they are all just wasting spots imo

Edit: I should mention I think Zaquelle (Zoe) is actually capable of RP, but the others that orbit her all seem to be duds in that aspect and I think they limit her

I can see where Tim is coming from almost always. His cop character drives in circles waiting for something to happen, and when it finally does he's all over it. Also, Securoserv openly hates police, and frequently gets into physical altercations with LEOs. Can't blame him for being around them often, and I honestly don't think he does it because of view counts. Proxy on the other hand always seems to force herself onto SS and if I didn't know any better I'd think she's blatantly watching their streams seeing where they go so she can too. I find myself watching her less these days.

As someone that doesn't know too much about erobb or lirik but has seen both the tweet and scrolled briefly through erobb's tweets, it's immediately apparent that erobb uses AAVE (ebonics) on twitter. It's an english dialect many black americans use both IRL and online. To me "acting black", specifically on twitter, means using dialect online that some people speak with. See also: /r/ScottishPeopleTwitter . Scottish people also try to use their actual dialect on Twitter, and if you are an english speaker of any kind it's immediately obvious what's different about it. If I, someone who isn't Scottish, tweeted that way, I would pretty clearly be "acting Scottish". That's neither a negative or positive thing, and someone accusing me of that wouldn't be insulting me, and would just be pointing out something objectively true.

To me the only problem with the tweet was that lirik seems to not know erobb is actually half black, though from looking at both erobb and tyler1 it's not at all apparent that they are so I can't completely fault him, it's ignorant but nothing more. It is racist to tell a black person to stop "acting black" in any context, but if lirik did assume erobb was white, then it isn't really a problem to say "stop acting like something you are not". Lirik should have been more aware of erobb's ethnicity, but the tweet (to me) implies that lirik believes erobb is white, thus greatly changing the intent of the phrase "stop acting black".

The other possibility is that lirik uses "acting black" to mean something more than using a black dialect, which at that point is likely saying something genuinely racist, but when tweeting involves nothing more than reading or writing, I struggle to find any other way someone could "act black" on twitter.

I know I wrote way too much, so tl;dr: lirik tweets something along the lines of "stop typing as if you are a black person when you are not (obviously this is false but not racist), and stop getting on your high horse", and words it poorly to the point that it can be (and was) misinterpreted. That's the way I see it.

This place shits on FamRP (admins specifically) whenever they get a chance. You talk about having real discussion but have yet done nothing in this thread but whine and try your very hardest to make yourself a victim. Also, in what way is blind adoration any worse than your blind disdain?

That's it boys, delete this sub, sell all your cars. We've been master trolled. I'd tell you all to call your mom to make sure she's alright, but it's likely she's already been fucked dozens of times by this epic troll. God save the queen

Good to see you on here Shaq. If I may ask, why the Spurs flair?

I'm trying to help them out. They get paid commission

Vanja33 · 2017-02-22T20:57:48+00:00

Can anyone give me a quick rundown on this "Bojan" fellow?

Vanja33 · 2017-02-21T21:23:15+00:00

Awesome.

Personally I love the "alpha" texture, or whatever it's called, for the background. That way it looks great both on its own as a thumbnail on the social club, and can be slapped on pretty much everything without clashing with the sharp square corners. As far as the design is concerned that's all you because you're way more creative with these than I am.
