A Note to Parents
Sometimes yes it gets a big roughshod. But thats why we have Mod 08. Also some rookerzerians ( term used to describe people in the habitat) are parents and know how to deescalate.
A Note to Gamers
Role players have been classified as geeks and nerds at best and devil-worshipping, murderous deviants at worst. It is all too easy, therefore, to become defensive and angry when people begin asking about the Rookery. Therefore be nice to everybody no matter what
Cooperative Storytelling
Everyday the starter of the thread job is to create an environment in which all the pretend takes place. The decision as to what type of environment (or genre) is often made by everyone involved
Once that decision is made, however, someone needs to decide on the underlying rules and "feel" behind the chosen genre. For instance, is the group playing "cowboys and indians" before the Civil War or after? Are they playing in Old West California or Texas or are they wandering over the entire range? Are they playing actual historical figures or are they making up new, fictitious characters that have never existed? Or maybe they're playing in a pre-created world such as in the "Gunsmoke" or "Bonanza" television shows. The onus of this job also falls on the thread creator shoulders.
The opener must create the environment -- the imaginary people, places and events -- with which the players pretend to interact. In essence, creating the outline or plot to a story, and it is through a joint effort that the story is fleshed out. For example, in one particular game, Black Bart and his gang are going to attempt to rob a train that is hauling a shipment of gold. That is the plot; the skeleton of the story. Whether Black Bart succeeds or not is entirely dependent upon the how the players play the game. If they play poorly, the story has a sad ending -- Black Bart robs the train and makes off with the gold. If the players play well, the story will have a happy ending -- Black Bart is captured and the terrorized townsfolk rejoice. But it is the actual, cooperative playing of the game that creates the story and its ending.
Roleplaying and Maturity
As you can see by the sample game, it takes quite a bit of imagination to roleplay. It also takes a large dose of maturity. The mature individual accepts the bad things in the game as easily as they rejoice in the good. But an immature gamer can't quite make the distinction between the game and reality. The immature player could be likened to the young child who wants to fly like Superman or who believes that hitting someone in the head with a hammer (ala The Three Stooges) won't cause serious injury. The immature gamer often can't understand the difference between a fictional character doing something they dislike and a real person doing something they dislike. The immature gamer will often get quite angry with a fellow player o
Maturity is a quality that isn't easy categorized. Some 17-year-olds I know are much more mature than some 40-year-olds. And there are some 21-year-olds with whom I would not wish to play because of their poor attitudes. A good rule of thumb is to see how angry or upset a player gets with a game.
