Title: Free Roam Events
Post by: Johan_S on July 23, 2015, 12:00:02 pm
Free roam events must be forbidden. Those events are very useless in a roleplay server that not only are preventing the role-play but are creating an mindset to certain players that join in server asking for similar events. We must make the difference of Roleplay server and stunt server. Even that our server is Light Roleplay doesn't mean is Free Roam server.

What to do to?
Invest your time and your funds on heavy Role-Play events where all the individuals or entities of server can be involved. Cops, Criminals, Medics, Fireman's, Citizens and staff members.

Ideas? You have more ideas than me, im just adding one that used to be from RS4 it's not originaly mine but must be organized each two days even daily.

Criminals vs Cops.
Criminals must transport an amount of cocaine from bayside to ocean docks. Cops must stop the criminals in all the ways. Here will be involved medics in case of injuries or fireman's in case of massive damages. If criminals succeed they win the reward of >insert the amount here<. In case that Cops will finish their duty they will take the amount. How to share the reward? To the leaders of the groups.

You think that criminals will outnumber cops?
We know very well that similar events will bring back SAPD at his best, their current professionalism in addition with few volunteers more or less will balance the gap, so those events will have an message and could bring the interest for more similar activities.

Benefits?
Collaborations, Communications, Role-Play, Emotions, objectives etc.
Disadvantages?
Any possible conflict or any individual stepping over the rules. (Which will be the duty of staff members to take care)

Leading heavy roleplay has been my duty from years now keeping my Family happy and interested everyday and every moment, don't think that the activity that we are maintaining comes out of nowhere, but like me there are tens of other leaders. Let's use their talent and their skills to lead something server-wide. We can forgot about our personal conflicts for two hours to host those events and to finish the target successful. Those kind of events will return the other leaders which are inactive or are forced to go away from server even now lately, the leaders will bring their followers etc.
With new systems cops are feeling in disadvantage, they've got nothing to do since the interaction system must be criminal activity reports or from constant usage of MCD which sometimes they might forget to use and they will simply leave. Let's give to those entities some reasons to stay active or to return active.

Destruction Derby? Who will cheat more will win. Plane surfing? Go to stunt server for the love of the GOD.

Add your ideas for more roleplay events, i will over-think it and probably will add any new idea.

I'm thinking for some heists typical format of "Steal the flag". Any building protected from cops and criminals must break the entries to steal any "valuable object". Heavy weapons for criminals must be forbidden only 9mm might be used (for Playa this one) after stealing the "valuable object" they must send it somewhere, cops must stop the criminals.

Sounds like an excuse to load empty on to each other, we've got Paruni for that.

I'd like to see events like poker/ gambling tournaments, Triathlons and Marathons as Timon said.
Just items that are open for a bigger group of audience but still are fun and calm on the server.

the problem with Cops V Criminals is.. this isnt a cop n robbers server, and also mostly everyone turns them into Deathmatching events..

As much as I'd love to see poker implemented, it's a game about facial expressions and luck. You won't be able to see if someone's telling or bluffing just by looking at a screen.

Most of the pro poker players make their money through Pokerstars.

You can bluff when you rise at the flop or before the first 3 cards

Nope, the idea isn't to execute everyone, but to roleplay with everyone.

We must define the DM in this case, we have an event and "objectives" so everyone is informed on what's going on realise the concept of deathmatch and mission. As brian said if we would like to DM we simply go to Paruni. Having RP interactions with Cops should not be only trafic stop routine, we must have situations to negotiate or to keep them as hostages or they to arrest the criminals and make an entire bus of criminals for jail.

RPing with cops shouldn't only be traffic stops but that's mostly what the crimimals made off of it, getting blasted when trying to role-play is no fun for cops either.
The fact that you say that the role-play interaction between cops and criminals should be either a traffic stop or a case where they shoot at each other just bothers me a bit. Remember a criminals main goal is to stay under the radar, not go up and give the radar a high five.

I agree with that RP event, btw DD isn't a bad event since it happens IRL. There are many DD events.

The main topic is for Events, my idea was to change the ideology and to add more effort on massive roleplay events. Let's not enter in details to find out the origine of the "blastings".

Bring back Jcs!

Teddy should script more of those flu-like events. With less deaths, please.

MORE DEATHS!

A deadly sandstorm maybe? Or maybe a volcano that have come up in the middle of Los Santos, killing everyone! :]

Triathlons, marathons as well as other sports.
And lots of natural and manmade disasters.

We need more criminal events. I think that's what Johan wanted to point out and he's right.

People complain how all criminals do is DM each other, I ask you: Except for casual roleplay all of us do, and the wars, what else is there for a criminal to do?

Drug script and market isn't working the way it should, even if its working, it pays off more to truck then to be a drug dealer.

So what else is there left? What activities can criminals do?

Lets make events in which criminals can hijacked a security van in which they can steal some 'gold', or a realistic bank robbery, in which criminals can earn from. There are many more things we create as well, we just need the guys who organise events, to think more in this directions.

That's true what you said. Nothing to do. It's simply boring to be in-game, even for us on the side of law.

FLU?

I love seeing here when we did the FLU event, some people supporting this idea moaned "Why am I sick iofnmgidfngudng *cry*". Please don't be hypocrites.

But yes, I do agree more diverse and immersive RP events would be ideal and these other useless events shouldn't be allowed.

One or two months ago, to be more accurate right before argonath latest birthday, we had big wave of those events such as: Destruction derby, Escape the shamal etc etc. So those kind of events were running for few days at maximum activity possible, until the admins who were hosting those event ran out of founds or they went inactive. During that period we educated a long list of players with mindset of those events so once the events stoped they don't find anything intresting to do in our server now. Also there still are certain players asking sometimes "We had any event?" and then /q. I wish that you were active during that period to see the bad effect that those events caused in our Roleplay server. We had in RS4 similar events but we had another player count and we had players that know to make the difference.
Title: Re: Free Roam Events
Post by: Stivi on August 28, 2015, 11:42:18 am
Such events should be stopped. Destruction Derby, it actually happens IRL as well, so we could let that slip in, while Escape Shamal is fun, but bullshit and should be stopped.

We need to see more events without a prize, yea' they should be encouraged.

If only people entered events without a prize. Most of the time, it's 3-5 max.

100% agree, events that have no RP in them like plane surfing events and such shouldn't be allowed. Events like paintball, House parties(dance contest etc), Marathons, Fight Club are great examples, they're events that promote roleplay not just standing there and moving around hoping you win. There are so many different things you can do for an event, be creative. But not stupid.

I learnt how RP worked just by attending Jcs' events.
