Title: Requirment to be off duty to participate in legal events?
Post by: rJCaiG on January 31, 2009, 01:37:54 pm
In regards to this topic:
Click (http://arpd.argonathrpg.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=34&topic=3386.msg17725#msg17725)
As a frequent event organiser, I like to involve everyone I can..cops, civlilians, admins, members of Clan A or Clan B.
I like to have a lot of people coming together and competing for the one prize.
I do not like that people are being FORCED off duty, just to participate in a LEGAL GOVERNMENT EVENT, which is ORGANISED AND FUNDED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
Events are for FUN, for some extra CASH. This is a horrible rule to be forced onto people..And you can bet that as soon as Ron hears of this rule, the topic in question will be deleted and a few people will be spoken to..This is not acceptable..
All cops, feel free to go on duty and participate in events. This is not a diplomacy, you cannot be forced into a different skin just to go in an event. I know this topic will cause a shitstorm. I know a lot of people think it's 'common sense'.
For an illegal event, it is. For a legal, government event, who gives a shit what skin or race or job you're in, it's for everyone to come together and have fun.

I do not like to be in clans, gangs, groups..As I do not like to be forced to do this, do that, say this, don't say this..etc.
I like ARPD because i can be on duty whenever I feel, be able to do as I please within reason, and generally be able to be me.
I applied to Rstar because I know that it's a FUN GAMING CLAN, not a bloody..FBI kind of thing. What sort of a group can say wether people can be CRIMINALS OR NOT. IT'S A GAME. TO HAVE FUN. NOT TO BE FORCED TO DO THINGS!

CBFasi has said the same on ARPD Forums, if he sees anyone on duty in a event he will kick them from the server.

I do not support it cause if all cops will go to an event then who will chase criminals? who will give them a ticket for speeding?
When you are police then you should consertate on police work not on fun.Can police go to events on duty IRL? No they got more important things to do.

A police officer going on a race (for example) while on law enforcement duty? Failure, should result in a retirment requested from the officer...

Those crappy events are complete non-RP anywaysm so why you shouldn't be able to go there with the cop skin?

However, there are some exceptions, Legend pointed one of them out.

i completely disagree with it,
cops on events isnt good at all,
you are working, and when you are working you dont got play in an event,
whats that for rubbish?
cop shouldnt be allowed in events, so the rule is very good,

a cop playing in event is poor RP
so keep up the good rules!

and how hard is it to go off duty for event?
most of time there is a PD near, so just go there and go off duty, its not that hard,
and its good RP, cop in event isnt

Phah, it totally depends on person and character the cop portrays.
If he portrays a cop who shows his badge to skip the donout shop queque, then I can't see a problem with him going to some quiz event.
Anyways, I don't give a damn.

Not supported!
I think it is non-rp, if cops participate in events.

Post by: BlackBird on January 31, 2009, 05:41:38 pm
Giac i completely support this idea, Cops should be allowed to participate in legal events, And even Illegal if they want cause IT IS RP, There are cops that street race and do other shit cause there corrupt.
I Think it's completely unfair that in Argo Roleplay isnt limited to your imagination, It's limited to what the main admins want it to be.
"NO! YOU CANT BE ON DUTY IN ANY EVENT IT'S NON RP" Bullshit, Be on duty in a event has nothing to do with non rp, it's the exact oppisite, But if a cop comes and ruins a legal event for no reason, Thats not considered non rp, "the cops just doing his job" again bullshit, Cops know better then to ruin a legal event alot of the time there even there to help.
i've said it once ill say it again, Roleplay should be enforced on this server, Not admins kicking up a shit storm cause some ARPD officer is competeing in a event, because a officer in a event is Roleplay.
Like i said, im tired of admins saying what is and isnt roleplay, they cant monitor everyplayer 24/7 to see what there acting.

As far as every cop being at a event, how the hell is it different when some ARPD officer takes every cop into the woods for "training"?
It's not, The town is full of criminals and half the time they dont do there job anyway, they sit infront of LSPD bitching about wether you parked correctly or not.

Giac your mixing IC and OOC and mixing it all up into 1 event for everyone. I disagree with that idea and I guess many others do to.

I come to the server to roleplay, not to do some OOC events.

I don't know. If there is a boxing event, it's almost impossible to win it if you are a cop. Because if you kill 3 players, you will be kicked for killing not wanted. And they can take advantage after event arresting the winner who killed anyone. To go off duty to partake is better for them - noone will complain against them, they will not be auto-warned by a server.

Post by: Caltson on January 31, 2009, 07:51:03 pm
I don't support the idea at all..

I never saw a Officer taking part in a Destruction Derby while on duty in real life.
Why would we do it here?

/duty is supposed for duty related things, Why do you want to be officer anyways?
Just go off duty and take part isn't that time wasting, is it?

I think, that this is not RP.

Well, I wouldn't call it non-rp, but non-realistic.
Basically, I now disagree with the idea after reading all the point pointed out.

Post by: Pancher on January 31, 2009, 07:59:56 pm
I dong agree about ur opinion while mention cops..

There is diffrent reasons why we have put such a guide line for cops GiacJr.. It's not to force people, they are free to be on duty, no one requier them to be on duty..
WHy should all  cops be at one of ur none rp events on a roof top where u teleport everyone for a DD? If they want to partake go off duty or do the the job u self choosed to take when u went on duty.. It doesnt take u long time to go off...

Also as mention before there is some scripted issues that cos problems for cops like 3 kills = kick or as other can see if a cop kills a suspect in event the suspect loses cash and the cop gain cash which shouldent happen atm if u just kill an other suspect or citizen..

Also when ur on duty u should do ur work, not fool around and race or so on..

Also whats makes an event like an "Goverment event" or and "Legal event"?

You are wrong. We never suported this idea "no cops on events". Did you saw Ronnel, RON or even me, on some kind of event that we do... that we say "NO cops allowed" ??? And noone is against it. No cops on event its against rules ??? When other admins say, say no cops when they organize... thats the rules, and all agreed. Whats wrong with you all ??? All server rules are on our official site... nothin more nothin less. Destruction derby and other kind off events, whats  wrong if someone will come in cop/cadet skin ? They are made for fun, and just for fun. Whats the difference if he come in cop skin or biker ?

While you are on duty your objective is: serve the law well.
It's very polite accept cops in event.. but.. while on duty, its a bit harsh.
Cops on duty needs to be working..
But.. i am not against accepting cops in events..
but, i do not recomend. It is recomended going on events offduty
ex. if you accidentaly kill bug someone.. you may get warned, even lose cash or even get kicked.

Post by: rJCaiG on February 01, 2009, 01:39:15 am
Okay, here's the thing.
My events are not DM events.
I do Mini DD's, king of the hill, running races, swimming races, drag races in SF, all kinds of things, and I couldn't give two shits what skin you're on - if you want to participate, you are free to do so, wether you're some new person with the hobo skin or Hank on duty, i do not care. Nobody should, this server is to have fun on. Non rp? Pfft, we are here to have fun, not compare everything to real life.
I know a lot of people will and are coming down on my thoughts harshly, but think about it - Pancher, you, as a dpt. chief, are not allowed to be a criminal anyway - and you almost always do cop work, events or non events. The occasion that you are off duty, I know you come in events sometimes. You enjoy the events. I do not see why people should need to go all the way to LSPD...go off duty..then go to SF or LV to get a decent car, when a cop car would have been fine and really, who cares?
This is not exactly as real life. When the Argonath Government attempts to get everyone to join in and have some fun, put some more money out there for people to be exchanging and giving people jobs for the money, it does not matter what skin you are...

Post by: Pancher on February 01, 2009, 01:59:39 pm
Agent/Legolas i never mention u, Ron or Ronnel said no cops allowed at event, neither did i.. I never said be cop and partaking in event is against any rule..

Also if i have been spotted on duty as cop i have been working as security as we advise cops to do, also shows admins present since there is always alot of reports incomming to admins from thoose areas...

Yes, i can be a criminal GiacJr ;)

I think i wasent clear what i wrote above or u didt read it. There is some scripted issuse as cop on duty in event. what ever event it is.. People dies in event which aint the meaning but happens while cars blew up, hav u as cop before tuched them u get warned cos u "killed" them even if u actuallt didt.. 3 warnings as u get in current script as cop while killing an citzen even if it aint ur attention u get warn, 3 warnings reults in auto kick which means u get's DQ due "rejoining" Also u can gain cash if an guy accidently killed an other guy and cops accidently killed the suspected guy cos he earlier touched the guy long time before... Cop gets cash and criminal loses..
 Thats how script work atm.. u touch., last one touched a guy and he dies (not all the time) the last guy get auto sus or get's an award (cash) for kiilled suspect..

There is basically two sides to this opinion, and they're basically conflicting with each other.

Yes, this is a game, and yes, we are meant to have fun.  We should not have to be told what to do in a game, as it does not necessarily affect our real life, and games were initially invented for fun if I'm correct.  We cannot just stop that tradition.  Gaming has taken the world to a whole new level, it's like a form of communication, relaxation, and a home away from real life problems.  We should not have any fights going on in a game, because let's face it, it's not real life.  Just because someone beat you in a game or you just can't compete with them, you shouldn't get angry.  Just have fun, play all you want, and learn from it.  So, yes, I agree we should not always be told what to do, as it is meant for fun, and not like a real life organisation.

On the second hand, this is a roleplay server.  We are supposed to act in-game as we would be in real life.  However, 'Argonath RPG' is rather famous in my eyes, for allowing it's players to roleplay hardcore, or loosely.  So, there isn't much of a conflict between my last paragraph and this one, however, it still is a conflict.  In real life, you wouldn't see police officers, on duty, showing up at legal races, destruction derbies, or any other such event, to take part.  They may show up as a form of security for the event, rather than being one of the contenders.

However, besides those two points, I strongly agree that anyone who is on duty (law enforcement) should not partake in an illegal event.  They can only do so if roleplaying the character of a corrupt officer, however, sooner or later he will be punished for his actions by a higher rank, or most likely fired from the force.

That is my view on the situation, and the way I see it, is if you want to partake in an event while on duty, you should do it Out Of Characterly.  However, that wouldn't make much sense, so just bypass that previous sentence.

I do not like that people are being FORCED off duty, just to participate in a LEGAL GOVERNMENT EVENT, which is ORGANISED AND FUNDED BY THE GOVERNMENT.

If you want to disobey SAPD then yes go to events and participate but be sure SAPD WILL REACT loss of rank WILL take place if caught

If you on duty your working..
Not participating in an event..

If your at an event as a cop your are there to provide law enforcement, hence often you will see police doing security duty.
If you participating you cannot do your job..

It's not,
If in training with other cops its TRAINING, not an event, and we never take ALL online cops on training..

Quote
The town is full of criminals and half the time they dont do there job anyway
So you dont want cops to train yet you point out they need it.  Oh yes THANKS FOR THE INSULT..

Quote
they sit infront of LSPD bad guying about wether you parked correctly or not.
I think you will find that is admins who are on police duty too as without that they cannot see cops abusing as they cannot see suspect texts etc..  Yet again an insult aimed in this case at SAPD and ADMINS.


Due to the way cops are scripted they can get major disadvantage if they particpate such as getting kicked for too many kills, and even worse if your an admin its instant, and can loose your rights, warnings as admin & cop is nasty (thanks to auto warnings!)

This ruling is SAPD/ARPD and applies to all onduty cops, including freecops.

This might now be changed as I see a large amount of complaint against it, but not really from cops, just event organisers, and yet I can remember being told to go offduty many times a year ago when I wanted to take part in events..

Review will be by end of today.
I will be reviewing this ruling from all that has been said, I still say you on cop job your at work.. but with all the negative response legal events might get allowed
