Cutstuff Discussion and Feedback / Opinions on roleplaying in general?

« on: February 27, 2014, 05:13:42 AM »

I hope this doesn't offend anyone...

One thing that seems to be extremely commonplace within the MM8BDM servers is the act of roleplaying.  Most of it is pretty harmless, but there are a few who take it to the extreme.  I once had the unpleasure of joining a server where 2 people were in the middle of roleplaying.  They were "kissing" each other and kindly asked me to leave (I think they wanted to do/say even kinkier things).  Of course I left, not wanting to see what weird stuff they were going to say.  I know RPers have garnered a bad rep among some members of the community here (I have heard stories of magical serums, people using servers to have fake sex with each other, etc).  

These days, the "hotel" servers where many of the RPers can be found tend to be the most poplulated (that, or Saxton Hale). I think it is sad to see the number of people on these hotel servers outnumber those on DM or LMS servers on a consistent basis.  What about you all?  How do you feel about RPers?

Cutstuff Discussion and Feedback / An annoying practice that is becoming more commonplace

Sorry if this seems like a minor issue to some, but what is the deal with many servers being hosted with ridiculously large music wads?

For example, the server :: [BE] New York :: Counter-Strike Megaman Style - Go go go required me to download contramusicultimatium.wad that is 118 MB in size!
Another example, :: [BE] New York :: Lobstacle Course (+++New Music) required me to download cantstopmusicpacking.wad that is 49MB in size. (not so bad, but still annoying)

That's not all of course.  I have other large music wads in my MM8BDM folder such as somerandomusicpack.wad that is 139MB in size, morerandommusicpack.wad that is 37MB in size, etc. (I could keep listing, but I'll stop here for the sake of sanity)

That's not what irks me the most however.  So I download these wads, and then a like a week later, these wads aren't even used anymore and new music wads take their place.  Seriously?
