i couldve sworn i had posted this before, it's been in my unlisted videos for a year.

this is one of the few remaining clips i have in my old hard drive of the CW iteration, i think from 2016 or 2017. i can tell it's old because of the hud, the discord overlay and the fact that for some reason shadowplay was recording my teenage voice through the webcam mic and not my headset during that time for several months.

i havent been that engaged in HL2RP for several years but ive always checked into the subforum once in a while to try and discern what has happened. the gamemode hasnt "clicked" for me in a very long while despite numerous tries, and ive always had to prioritize other things in my life, but somehow im still drawn to the gamemode almost 10 years since i first started playing.

we all learn at some point, never use a physgun near active physics props unless you wanna kill half the server and then yourself

Sometimes I wonder who even started the whole /me would thing back in the day, I used to do it back on CW cause I saw other people doing it and thought it was a sign of good roleplay but it makes absolutely no sense in retrospect 😭

Excuse to add one extra word for an already huge block of /me text

it's future-tense writing

/me would ... if you'd allow it

i would do this, if no one stopped me

present-tense and past-tense implies your character is immediately successful at their task
"David punches John" and "David punched John" leave no room for ambiguity, going off what's written, they do happen.

future tense is ironically the most correct way to write without powergaming, because it adds the assumption that you're attempting everything, without having to put "attempts" in all your /me's

 

[Chezburger]

maxenzie has shown me a new light. to all those that resist the new era of /me would, i have one message for you

/me would spit on you!!!

glory to future tense writing where all is fair and just in this online virtual world of turmoil and deep rooted villainy, we must overcome our ancient habits and emerge from our hypocritical cocoons new men and women of the stars.

i wouldnt mind future tense roleplaying if it stayed in conflict like what is making your nod of approval an uncertain possibility in the flow of time

From how I see it, you can still do things like "David swings his fist towards John" that declare intent - but not success - for an action.

/me would appear to be quite bruised
or
/me would have have walked in through the door without incident, if it wasn't for that can on the floor, they tumbled over it
or
/me would've done that for free

are all little emotes that serve would as the first word and still function in my minds eye. your example is good but i think it's a lot more sensical and less roundabout to go "/me threw a right hook toward David best he could, aiming for the jaw", David rolls, and gets higher than me and goes "/me saw the haymaker coming, and threw his head back, the fist only grazed his jaw, and a return blow came flying". you end up fluffing emotes with unnecessary "would, if" start end otherwise and your emotes become pretty one-note. none of that is an implication beyond the attempt anyway, it isn't "the punch connects". like @Tinbe says
