ok have any of you guys actually played on the MRP server like its basically indistinguishable from the LRP servers other than the fact that people talk to you first before they valid you for walking into their department
You are literally nuts.
No, it's not the same at all. Not even close. And yes, I have. Here's a massive difference between LRP and MRP: if I show up to the station, dressed in space loot pirate gear--and then freely hand out that pirate gear/guns to the crew, three massive differences occur:
First: the crew are much more likely to ignore that crate of combat space loot, because muh stay in your lane--why would my super cool RP character want battle armor and space protection on a metal death trap? I am just supposed to be doing my job! Security!!! Secure this dangerous and free loot that this benevolent player is handing out freely! On LRP people are literally pumped to get free gamer gear, especially security, and are more than happy to thank you for your benevolence, rather than remain totally indifferent to it. On a deeper level than that, many MRPers straight up fear the bwoink that comes with wearing space loot like that--which leads into the...
Second: If I, the player, am attacked by a crew member while wearing said loot, even if I save them from being chainstunned by a head of staff with a baton, even if I remain totally still and non-hostile as this unjust attacker is whacking me, should I attempt to retaliate while dressed in space pirate loot(gotten from space, not from antags) under the misapplication of RPR 2, I cannot defend myself and must submit myself to the very high RP task of letting myself be crit/killed by the person I quite literally saved from being griefed. This shit never happens on LRP. No LRP admin with their head screwed on straight would ever rule against you, the defender and non-aggressor, in a conflict like that.
On MRP they will and have.
Third: there's an extremely high chance that command and sec will attempt to make you get a gun permit(lol no, I risked my life and time in the round for this shit and I'm not filling out paperwork for some jobbie just to enjoy playing with it) or they will attempt to remove it from my person since it's contraband(even on Fulp space explorer loot has metaprotections that prevent sec from taking it from you, metaprotections which don't exist on Manuel, but which are implicitly honored on LRP because LOOT!). Again, this. Does. Not. Happen. On. LRP.
This is just one small instance where massive differences exist between LRP and MRP. And trust me: there are enough to fill a 500 page book.
