What’s SAMP Role-play?

A role-playing game is game in which players assume roles of fictional characters; players take responsibility for acting out those roles. Being GTA San Andreas an open world game is able to deliver a realistic enviroment where players can roam freely through the virtual world and choose who to interact with.  

In most of the RP servers available today you start off as an ordinary person and you can do a variety of jobs to make a living (either legal or Illegal); you’ll also be able to join criminal groups or make your own. Now if what you want is to serve and protect fellow citizens, you can always send your application to any of the law enforcement agencies operating in town.

SAMP Role-Play Basics

In Character (IC): It means while role-playing your character. 

Out Of Character (OOC): It means you’re not role-playing your character; you are talking or acting as yourself; not your character. 

Metagaming (MG):  It means using OOC information In Character; for example you see someone’s name tag and call him/her by his/her name without really knowing it in character; maybe you have met the person OOC, then you see him IC and call him by his IC name. This is wrong, like in real life if you want to know someone’s name you should go and ask. 

Powergaming (PG): Forcing somebody to role-play without giving a chance to react; or doing things that are not humanly possible. Lifting a car or decapitating someone from a single punch.

Deathmatching (DM): Killing without a valid reason or killing for fun.

Refusing to Role Play: Exiting the game to avoid role play, death or arrest.

These basic rules are necessary to ensure a realistic and fair game play.
