What do you do in the breaks of events? (What do you think?)

[Yuri]

Nothing might come of this, but this is a base point to get the conversation to have a more clear outline, instead of people just saying they are bored or there is nothing to do. This is just to enable the possibility for some entertainment being at your reach instead of the standard Chess & Checkers, Poker or running in circles.

But type in the comments; What you do in the breaks of events & What you would like to do in the breaks (or even when there is a very low server population)

For example, adding something simple like suggesting more interesting ILC Mission, like guiding a VIP to an area, running a time trial or more advanced ILC Missions, where you go around the ship doing Roleplay enabling tasks.

Build dupes - training - sometimes guard BSD or bridge - do something idiotic - cry about VF

Turn off power to the reactor, disable elevators, shut down IHC

You can do a me and complain about regiments and people on the server.

Otherwise, passive RP, whether created by our wonderful @Jman1308, an EM or yourselves, is a great way to pass time and makes the universe feel more alive (if you're into that sort of stuff). Do some housekeeping and errands for the Logistics Centre, grab some prescription pills and get a check-up at the Medical Bay, have a chat with others around the holotable. Just do things that enable a lot of talking and a lot /me's, and maybe some shooting mixed in.

It's actually incredibly easy to create RP, but you gotta put in some thought into it.

I'm going to add a "SIMP" react to the forums just for this post alone.

It's just really funny to me how people act like the server is only events, like I even laughed at the title of this post, "between the breaks of events"... you mean the normal time of the server? Its not downtime my loves, its called the server when there are no events.

I was going to say Army are bored (excluding medical troopers) because they are the most non-roleplay branch - because I do NOT classify shooting event characters (translation: Army only relies on shooting event characters as roleplay), but I'm really not. I think the biggest thing is: STOP MAKING YOUR ROLEPLAY A DPS GAME / STOP TREATING THE SERVER LIKE A DPS GAME like come on, most events now are just aggressive. There's not a perfect ratio of pepper to salt - not enough passives for the ammount of aggresives. I don't know if it's just on me and I have a curse of only being on during aggresive but obviosuly in my perspective, it seems to just be lack of passives.

Army need to realise that there is roleplay outside of shooting, Storm Troopers have being doing it, serve the ship through small task such as patrols, moving supplies, guarding, become a messenger, escort people, etc. I guess that's why I can enjoy my time on the server, as I'm a Medic - the most roleplay regiment in army, I'm always doing passive activites, especially being in a sub-division like MRD. So I guess everyone just needs to occupy themselves more, move boxes, hold trainings where its so interesting its almost your own event, join a sub-division, go entertain people who haves roles e.g. logistics officcer, do something.

Not to pick on my own branch, but I gather it's us because we aren't the most passive branch. So I guess my message is: OCCUPY YOURSELF
