GAMEMASTERING INFORMATION
This thread gives a brief explenation about how GameMastering works:
What is GameMastering?
Gamemastering, in Half-Life 2 Roleplay, is when someone creates a roleplay situation for another player and oversees them with the use of the /it command as they roleplay it out. This can be done for fun, when a player is bored and does not know what to do, etc.
* Creating a (throwaway) character and interacting with another character, while is allowed in an effort to generate rp (eg running around and doing things that you normally would do, just for the sake of creating an rp situation for other), is not considered gamemastering.
How do I GameMaster?
First, you need to find your target. Look for a citizen or a player who does not appear to be doing anything and/or is clearly bored. Then, observe their surroundings. Look where they are located, what and who is around them, etc. Try to think of a situation that could happen to them. Then, think of a way to carry out that situation. Try to make it interesting and fun in order to grab the player’s attention and allow them to engage in it.
* If a player asks you in LOOC to stop, you are obliged to do so.
** If you plan on gamemastering a situation with more than 2-3 players involved, please contact a Higher Ranking Staff Member first, unless you are an Administrator+.
This thread may be expanded upon in the future.
