Last time I tried to fight a pred some god damned baldie PB heartbroke me
Also note about those command announcements someone posted an Imgur image a few pages ago, that was made by an XO. There was no CO that round.
Otherwise I'm really struggling to understand most of the things said here. Playing every squad role not saying anything meaningful the entire round is viable, with the exceptions of the SL and specs who should be a bit more verbose than yelling .u RO I NEED AMMO every 15 minutes. Even as something like a medic, realistically you only need to do 3 things: point at injured marine, treat them, and either say "Good to go" or "Go to surgery". And if you want to rp as those roles it is entirely within your possibility to do so at whichever opportune moment, does it really need to be said you shouldn't be stopping to recite excerpts from Shakespeare when you're clowning dumb lurkers? And from my personal experience there are RP opportunities almost every round as any given shipside role. More often than not the problem is simply that there is virtually nobody else aboard that round.
And speaking of xenos on that matter, their rp is to obey the queen and kill/capture when applicable. There is some concerns regarding sweaty xenos killing synthvivors indiscriminately regardless of their allegiance but overall doing pretty much anything else is LRP. (and FTR I consider LRP and NRP to be one and the same, maaaaybe in some cases LRP would be NRP with extra steps but the basis we're going off of are the roleplay standards. Or at least I am doing that.)
Apologies if this post is too retarded/incoherent but I'm just trying my best to make sense of this mess of a thread.
