One of my current role-play limits is as follows: "Not here for capture, sex, or slavery, but I will go along with the consequences of rp." This seems to bring up the question of, why play on a capture sim? I can understand that in a place where there are opposing factions, battles may occur. I can also understand that during the course of battle, whether it be one on one or on a grander scale, there may indeed be some hostages taken by either side. This is why the fact that capture is allowed in KoS does not bother me, nor am I against it.
To better illustrate the way in which the capture role-play I see undertaken by most bothers me (though I do not personally consider most of what I have seen as role-play at all), let me show you a conversation by myself and one of the capture roleplayers on the sim. To preface this, I had met this person once before. This was how I was dressed when they met me, which I suppose must have conveyed the wrong impression:
And now, the conversation:
While I realize that in the end I may have been rude, and angered a bit quickly that day, I still stand by what I said; and hopefully this explains my stance on capture in my limits.
**: hi there
**: attempting to capture you -- would that be okay with you ?
ηαѕяιη ηєנєм (nasrinnejem): I'm not here for all the stupid little capture and slave games all these other girls seem so willing to play
**: you wanna attempt to escape by RP .. or just refuse the RP ?
ηαѕяιη ηєנєм (nasrinnejem): Really, what is the enjoyment you people find in this nonsense?
**: its a game, challenging
ηαѕяιη ηєנєм (nasrinnejem): It's not a game, it's an "Ooo, see a random person, let me put a rope around them."
**: its a capture sim .. and yes, running into another you can try to capture
**: but if you dont like ,, no problem, I'll stay away
**: take care and enjoy
ηαѕяιη ηєנєм (nasrinnejem): I'm sorry, I don't see the point. All it seems your pirate faction wants to do is capture people and toss them in a cage. There's no story.
**: that is the story
**: slavers roam around to find captivs
**: then the story only starts
ηαѕяιη ηєנєм (nasrinnejem): If that is what is considered story here, then obviously I picked the wrong place to role-play. Sorry.
**: possibly ..but you can make your own story here of course .. ours wont just go together
