Title: Lets get things straight, Version 2
Post by: Gandalf on October 06, 2010, 03:41:23 pm
Yesterday Chuck Norris posted a topic, and this was seen by some people as an attack on one of the official groups. While it were members of a specific group that caused the topic, the frustration and direction was not towards that group. It is the general behaviour that causes trouble.

So lets get some things straight.

About Admins:
Our admins applied voluntarily to keep order on the server they were, and to a large extent still are, players who were selected for being friendly, responsible and mostly outside any direct conflicts. They devote their time online to keeping players followin the rules, and while doing this have to give up their time to play.
For their efforts they are labled asskissers, abusers, and almost any punishment is followed up by a long discussion of the punished player who is completely convinced that he was treated wrong, as only all other players break server rules. If the player happens to be in a group, regardless of which, this multiplies by the number of group members online, as all try to support.
Admins are taught to be friendly, and treat players with respect. However as they are getting little in return, they become both unwilling to punish regulars and tired of doing their job. Ever noticed how admins become less active over time ? It is the stress of their job, which makes them lose fun in being on server.

About players:
When we see many players complain about how there is nothing to do for them or that we do not create opportunities, that shows something we feared would happen a long time ago. Why have we always fought against RLRP servers ? Not because we do not like realism, or because we want to be different at all cost. The reason is that these servers kill imagination and replace it with robot-like play.
The idea of RP is not so type commands and get money (or rnaks or houses or whatever) from it. The idea of RP is to use your imagination and creativity to have fun. As players are stuck in their role, they become bored and start fooling around. Then they blame the community for not providing what they want or not listening. In reality any player can make money if they would just see scripts as something supportive instead of leading. There are 200 skins, yet players choose to use only 2 or three to fit them.
The hunt for status and posessions should be replaced by the drive to make friends and communicate... that is what RP should be about.

About developers:
People think that we do not want changes or create new things because of being against them or their ideas. Nothing can be less true.
If you want to know why I am mostly UC as freecop, it is not because I like to be a cop but to be able to switch to spectate any player once suspected. That way I can see the interaction that happens, and this has led to cops being banned from their job as much as criminals being punished. If you are one of those who think the public chat spams, then try to think of the added reading of all radio channels, admin chat, police chat and the flood of PM once people know an UC admin is online. When I turn off options and are in a single radio channel, I am constantly checking if the server is frozen as I do not see any chat moving...
When we made the scripts for Argonath, we based them on the MTA:VC idea. This means that we counted on two groups, cops and non-cops. During the development of SA:MP a new group emerged : criminals. As in our original plans criminals were just standard citizens, who occasionally would commit a crime, we have not made a lot of thought on filling that role.
Adding this in to the current scripts will be hard, as you may have noted we are already at a point where a small improvement to one thing can lead to bugs in many others. There for we are planning to develop the RS5 with the criminal role added as a choice, including options that will hopefully make the groups happy.

Criminals will never change, deal with it.
Cops will never change as well, deal with it.

That's how I see it, else you want to try something new..

It's funny how you made this to make the admins answering in the previous "let's get thing straight" thread not so evil.

We know you/admins made that thread as a threat to us/other criminals out there.

You're saying that you don't want RLRP ,right?  Why then make commands/scripts that makes it harder for a criminal to Role-play as a real "gangster" or "mafia" For example you want all the criminals to /gu when cops are around... you said you didn't want RLRP??
hmm maybe I'm wrong, but let's take a look at some of your quotes to be sure,
"You are the one making up rules here. No it is not allowed to have people join the server and take part in an ongoing situation."

This is when your answering Wash, So the people who log in are not able to RP with his own gang/mob...great
Odd, considering they shouldn't be "dead" they should be alive and they should be able to RP...just as you said yourself.
Oh wait...I found another interesting Quote...
When Wash said "There is no rule that states that you have to 'roleplay' your way into a situation to help a friend.."

You answered "There is"..
I don't get it...are we allowed or not allowed?..
And when he gave you a RP and asked is it necessary you said "Not needed, but tell me, why would this friend head to LSPD as suspect other than to give up ?"
Like you're hiding from the question...Why drag LSPD into it? Let's say he's at LV heading towards the ocean for a swim if it makes it easier for you to answer.

And last but not least you said "In that case I think the price criminals pay is not high enough. Perhaps remove not just weapons but house and business as well ? After all you are dead then killed...."
So now you're changing the fact that you're not an RLRP server to one where you are?

You are still totally missing the point.

"You are the one making up rules here. No it is not allowed to have people join the server and take part in an ongoing situation."
Which commands or scripts make it harder ?
As for wanting criminals to /gu, you seem not to catch the idea again...
While not RL, this is still a RP server and that means criminals are supposed to act like criminals and not like a mafia TDM group. 

This is when your answering Wash, So the people who log in are not able to RP with his own gang/mob...great
Odd, considering they shouldn't be "dead" they should be alive and they should be able to RP...just as you said yourself.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish here ? If you want rules to be less free, not a problem however you will not like the result. Then you can leave server saying it turned to shit, without asking yourself who made the shit...
First think of why you are playing and what you want to reach by a discussion. Then we can talk.

As an admin, i know that i get that feeling like. "OK, here comes the moaning, whats the point of even doing anything when it just causes more problems..." Then i realize, hey if i don't do something people will complain, so really all i do is my job as an admin and leave it at that, if i was doing my job wrong then the owners and managers will tell me and ill fix the problems that i have. People need to understand that we are all here to help them and all we ask in return is that you follow the rules laid out by the owners. The rules are not made to be debated over and over in SA:MP General, they are made to be followed and respected, if you dont like the rules that your free to leave. I cant stand people who join the server thinking "Hmm, these rules dont seem fair, maybe if i moan on the forums they will be changed". Thats not how it works.

So I am not entitled to speak my mind?...

You are still totally missing the point.

Am I really?..please tell me the point then...


And Gandalf, you answered the question with different answers...
First off you say that it's not allowed to join a player in need to, secondly your saying that you are forced to RP if you want to help the player in need, and thirdly you say that it is not needed to RP, and you start rambling about LSPD...

Want the rules to be less free?...I want an answer for the questions above...

You're just hiding again...
provide real answers instead of rambling on about what I am trying to accomplish or that I do not catch an idea/point.

Gandalf...If you think I am not catching a point/idea..please argue AGAINST me instead of saying you seem not to catch the idea, therefore I will not answer the question.

Also the questions "Why am I playing? and What I want to reach with this discussion"

Let me answer these instead of typing you don't get it...
First of all I play because I thought it was fun once, but it all changed after an incident that many other have named.
Secondly- There are 2 kinds of these topics, on the first one, The admins to understand that they can't post moaning topics at General and I want to let the people know we are NOT cophunting.
and on this topic- I want you to answer the quetsions I asked above, not hide from them.

Well put.

Take what you want from your experiences, and do not feel forced into choices, because you aren't.
If you do not like the servers rules, join another one. If you do not like the game, play another one. If you do not like the community, you are wrong, and need to really think what a game is for you, wasting time, or having fun...

You want answers and show that it is not me who is twisting things ? Not a problem.


It's funny how you made this to make the admins answering in the previous "let's get thing straight" read not so evil.

We know you/admins made that thread as a threat to us/other criminals out there.
I made this thread not to make admins or corleone less evil. I made the thread to prepare turning away from that discussion, after talking it through with Daniel. As noted earlier, the discussion is universal and to keep it revolving around a single group is not correct, and just hurts the group in a way that is not justified given their past accomplishments.

You're saying that you don't want RLRP ,right?  Why then make commands/scripts that makes it harder for a criminal to Role-play as a real "gangster" or "mafia" For example you want all the criminals to /gu when cops are around... you said you didn't want RLRP??
hmm maybe I'm wrong, but let's take a look at some of your quotes to be sure,
"You are the one making up rules here. No it is not allowed to have people join the server and take part in an ongoing situation."
This is when your answering Wash, So the people who log in are not able to RP with his own gang/mob...great
Odd, considering they shouldn't be "dead" they should be alive and they should be able to RP...just as you said yourself.

This quote was made referring to the idea of Wash that nothing prevents people from letting friends randomly joining a shootout. Lets turn it around... SWAT will set their spawn at strategic places around the Corleone HQ, and when a number of wanted players is there login and start killing them. Would you see that as fair ?

If you want to go to "dead" or "alive" then the question is how are they aware of something going on ?

Oh wait...I found another interesting Quote...
When Wash said "There is no rule that states that you have to 'roleplay' your way into a situation to help a friend.."

You answered "There is"..
I don't get it...are we allowed or not allowed?..
I do not see any faulty logic when you read the first statement. New arriving players are not aware something is going on, there for them joining the fight without warning is not a fair thing.

And when he gave you a RP and asked is it necessary you said "Not needed, but tell me, why would this friend head to LSPD as suspect other than to give up ?"
Like you're hiding from the question...Why drag LSPD into it? Let's say he's at LV heading towards the ocean for a swim if it makes it easier for you to answer.
Because this was about the situation where a suspected player was heading towards LSPD. The piece of RP that Wash gave was an absurd example. My reaction was on a situation where the wanted player directed his friends to LSPD (outside RP) in order for them to be able to shoot the pursuing cops, thus ambushing them. This is not allowed. If the players would drive up and take him away without first trying to blast all cops, probably I would not object, depending on the situation.

And last but not least you said "In that case I think the price criminals pay is not high enough. Perhaps remove not just weapons but house and business as well ? After all you are dead then killed...."
So now you're changing the fact that you're not an RLRP server to one where you are?
No, however if criminals see the current penatly for death as no reason to give up and would rather play TDM, perhaps we should raise the cost of death. Not to annoy the criminals for to decrease fighting until death.
Title: Re: Lets get things straight, Version 2
Post by: Void on October 06, 2010, 08:54:42 pm
Making more death cost will decrease the constant fight till death scenarios, however it will increase moaning, not just depending on the penalty itself, then the circumstances in which they loose money.
Title: Re: Lets get things straight, Version 2
Post by: midget on October 06, 2010, 09:04:33 pm
Alright,

Quote from Wash:
"And? We did not call in more members, they joined the server. If 10 people in Corleone are suspects, and then another Corleone non-suspect joins, ofcourse he can help us.. What is he going to do? Stand at LSPD and sell chicken eggs whilst the rest of the group is having a fiercesome battle with the cops? There is nothing wrong with Corleone members joining other Corleone members in any situation. Please do not make up rules."..

and you said "You are the one making up rules here. No it is not allowed to have people join the server and take part in an ongoing situation. "

Now you're telling me that Wash named that there would be a shootout?, he NEVER did

by a "fiercesome battle" he didn't mean that the members + the suspected Corleone to team up and jump on the cops.
I believe he meant just to RP with them but he said it with a dramatic sounding.

I do not see any faulty logic when you read the first statement. New arriving players are not aware something is going on, there for them joining the fight without warning is not a fair thing.

What?, so if I am online at the time but AFK when they start the RP, I am welcome to RP with them, but if I join the server 5 minutes after they started the RP, I need to wait until they finished the Role-play otherwise I can't join?.

Because this was about the situation where a suspected player was heading towards LSPD. The piece of RP that Wash gave was an absurd example. My reaction was on a situation where the wanted player directed his friends to LSPD (outside RP) in order for them to be able to shoot the pursuing cops, thus ambushing them. This is not allowed. If the players would drive up and take him away without first trying to blast all cops, probably I would not object, depending on the situation.
"9) Your friend is there running on foot for dear life from 10 cops, but wait let me put on my roleplay hat and type:
* Wash recognises the person being chased by 10 cops
* Wash drives closer to make sure his face is his friends
* Wash confirms it is his friend
* Wash drives closer to him and swings open the passenger door so he can try to get in
* Wash puts his ...

... Oh nevermind, he died." Quoted by Wash

The suspect never directed his friends to LSPD...as you can see Wash said "Wash RECOGNIZES the person being chased by 10 cops"
Wash could have just been in the neighborhood when he noticed his friend being chased by the cop.
I understand the "My reaction was on a situation where the wanted player directed his friends to LSPD (outside RP) in order for them to be able to shoot the pursuing cops, thus ambushing them." But that was NEVER said, you are just taking words from no where....


And to the others who are replying "Why play then", I may have been a little unclear on the quote on why I play here.
I play here because it can be fun sometimes, and when it is fun it really owns.
So I'd rather be online waiting for mature and fun people to RP with, and WHILE i'm doing this I am also loyal to the Corleone Mafia. So there you have 2 reasons.

Wrong..
The wanted player was at LSPD and he needed help there, so when we asked where he was he said LSPD. We did not organise a meet at LSPD or anything like that, its just we assumed that the wanted player was about to die at LSPD as we only really call for help in those sort of situations. Our plan was to just pick him up and go but by the time he had got there he left LSPD so could have looked like 'cop-baiting' or 'ambushing' but it wasn't actually that.

I just corrected that, not trying to argue or anything. We will no longer be presenting any further arguements.

Adding this in to the current scripts will be hard, as you may have noted we are already at a point where a small improvement to one thing can lead to bugs in many others. There for we are planning to develop the RS5 with the criminal role added as a choice, including options that will hopefully make the groups happy.
Thank you for proving me wrong. :)
I am glad that we will finally get some recognition. I await RS5 eagerly.

Making more death cost will decrease the constant fight till death scenarios, however it will increase moaning, not just depending on the penalty itself, then the circumstances in which they loose money.

If death by police officer would be increased to like 3,000$ per death as of police instead of /GU, People would use excuse" HE DID NOT LET ME /GU" when they are being killed.

For example, yesterday I was chasing a guy for over half an hour.. I don't need to name who it was, I'll just say it was a semi-regular.

I was chasing him as a cop after he broke a road block from LS-LV Highway.. we end up at water next of the jam, in bone county.. He was doing circles and things in water for over 20 mins... He called a friend via phone while in Water and I did comment on that, he said "yes.. phone on water, so what?" After a few moments that we were like iddle.. he went: Hey you... /PM is NON RP. And kept going like this... Some time passed.. some back-up arrived and forced him to GU... I could not get in heli via /getin, so I did /kill and I had previously /spawnreset' ON the jam road... just randomly he was also there a few m's away with a partner.. and then he went "OH MY GOD YOU ADMIN ABUSER YOU ABUSE /GOTO" Even after my explanations, he would not stop. Later on, at the Fort Carson he was moaning us for taking him to FC instead of mordor, and kept saying we must take him there... I mean, seriously after all you do, you order us?

I do not care for the last thing which is him saying for me abusing admin commands (false), but what I care for is.. okay I did comment him via roleplay asking him how his phone was still on after it was all wet.. and later instead of just keep roleplaying (after like 10 attempts of me to roleplay cuff him to end the scenario..) he just kept doing circles hoping his friend would pop there to shot me and he evade.. I mean.. was it so hard for him to /gu?

What you loose if you get killed: 1000$
What you loose if you are arrested: Just 200$.
What WE gain if we arrest you: 600$ (Max)
What WE gain if we catch you: Just 100$ if on foot.

I'm not speaking for the money awards, but the point of Void to increase the death cost...

Lately I see people thinking that they roleplay "SERIOUS" by doing this:

/me gets in car
/me turns on the engine
/me looks for the gears
/me finds them
/me turns to gear 1F
/me turns to gear 2.
--later on--
/me stops the car
/me kills the engine
/me opens the door
/me takes one foot outside
/me takes the other foot outside
/me gets out of the vehicle.

No no no... You guys lost the creativity? Why do you need to describe one move in so many commands?

You could do this shorter.

/me gets in his vehicle - turning engine on & putting forward mode.
later on-
/me kills the engine and gets out of the vehicle.

Nobody needs to RP "SERIOUS MODE ON"... What you will enjoy roleplay with, is if in order you START using imagination and creativity!

He called a friend via phone while in Water and I did comment on that, he said "yes.. phone on water, so what?" After a few moments that we were like iddle.. he went: Hey you... /PM is NON RP. And kept going like this... Some time passed.. some back-up arrived and forced him to GU... I could not get in heli via /getin, so I did /kill and I had previously /spawnreset' ON the jam road... just randomly he was also there a few m's away with a partner.. and then he went "OH MY GOD YOU ADMIN ABUSER YOU ABUSE /GOTO" Even after my explanations, he would not stop. Later on, at the Fort Carson he was moaning us for taking him to FC instead of mordor, and kept saying we must take him there... I mean, seriously after all you do, you order us?

I do not care for the last thing which is him saying for me abusing admin commands (false), but what I care for is.. okay I did comment him via roleplay asking him how his phone was still on after it was all wet.. and later instead of just keep roleplaying (after like 10 attempts of me to roleplay cuff him to end the scenario..) he just kept doing circles hoping his friend would pop there to shot me and he evade.. I mean.. was it so hard for him to /gu?

What you loose if you get killed: 1000$
What you loose if you are arrested: Just 200$.
What WE gain if we arrest you: 600$ (Max)
What WE gain if we catch you: Just 100$ if on foot.

I'm not speaking for the money awards, but the point of Void to increase the death cost...

Lately I see people thinking that they roleplay "SERIOUS" by doing this:

/me gets in car
/me turns on the engine
/me looks for the gears
/me finds them
/me turns to gear 1F
/me turns to gear 2.
--later on--
/me stops the car
/me kills the engine
/me opens the door
/me takes one foot outside
/me takes the other foot outside
/me gets out of the vehicle.

No no no... You guys lost the creativity? Why do you need to describe one move in so many commands?

You could do this shorter.

/me gets in his vehicle - turning engine on & putting forward mode.
later on-
/me kills the engine and gets out of the vehicle.

Nobody needs to RP "SERIOUS MODE ON"... What you will enjoy roleplay with, is if in order you START using imagination and creativity!



Go away, Your just another guy who wishes to ruin this.

I have never seen anyone do that

is that just another stereotype of serious roleplay?

OH MY GASH I THINK SO.

How long have been people saying that and still nothing has changed dramatically.

/me kills the engine
/me opens the door
/me takes one foot outside
/me takes the other foot outside
/me gets out of the vehicle.

That's just over-use of /me why would your use /me on something that you can see your character doing.. makes no sense.
You could put it all into one line - /me opens the door and steps out - closing the door behind himself
Alot simplier than using 6 /me actions to get out of a car. 

Rock problem is people don't know what imagination is and that is why trying to find a good roleplayer is pretty darn difficult you don't wanna be coming across same type of roleplay everytime do you?  Only a handful have imagination and one of them is Jcstodds the guy is a fucking legend when it comes to creativity and kudos to him.

Do you enjoy running in circles ?

Einstein: Idiocy is repeating the same question time after time while expecting a different answer.

Alright,

Quote from Wash:
"And? We did not call in more members, they joined the server. If 10 people in Corleone are suspects, and then another Corleone non-suspect joins, ofcourse he can help us.. What is he going to do? Stand at LSPD and sell chicken eggs whilst the rest of the group is having a fiercesome battle with the cops? There is nothing wrong with Corleone members joining other Corleone members in any situation. Please do not make up rules."..

and you said "You are the one making up rules here. No it is not allowed to have people join the server and take part in an ongoing situation. "

Now you're telling me that Wash named that there would be a shootout?, he NEVER did

by a "fiercesome battle" he didn't mean that the members + the suspected Corleone to team up and jump on the cops.
I believe he meant just to RP with them but he said it with a dramatic sounding.
You are attributing a meaning to his words that is nowhere to be found in the topic.
If there are 5 suspects, and 2 guys who joined the server meet them with arms and armour, do you expect them to RP while the other 5 are shooting ?


What?, so if I am online at the time but AFK when they start the RP, I am welcome to RP with them, but if I join the server 5 minutes after they started the RP, I need to wait until they finished the Role-play otherwise I can't join?.
For AFK (which by the way is something we are against) goes the same rule.

"9) Your friend is there running on foot for dear life from 10 cops, but wait let me put on my roleplay hat and type:
* Wash recognises the person being chased by 10 cops
* Wash drives closer to make sure his face is his friends
* Wash confirms it is his friend
* Wash drives closer to him and swings open the passenger door so he can try to get in
* Wash puts his ...

... Oh nevermind, he died." Quoted by Wash

The suspect never directed his friends to LSPD...as you can see Wash said "Wash RECOGNIZES the person being chased by 10 cops"
Wash could have just been in the neighborhood when he noticed his friend being chased by the cop.
I understand the "My reaction was on a situation where the wanted player directed his friends to LSPD (outside RP) in order for them to be able to shoot the pursuing cops, thus ambushing them." But that was NEVER said, you are just taking words from no where....
If you read the other topic, you will find there WAS a shootout there. Now if you wish to turn it in to that Wash was standing unarmed in a priests uniform preaching the word of Sauron to evil cops, be my guest.

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

We know you/admins made that thread as a threat to us/other criminals out there.
I like how your referring to yourself as a criminal, if admins wanted no criminals it would be simple enough to remove guns and the criminal script completely, the reason both the threads were made (if you bothered to read properly) was to merely inform people that there is some rule breakers being brought to justice, the Criminal system has rules, and according to chuck, some Corleone people broke them.

Also, I think arguing with Gandalf (The server owner (just in case you didn't know)) is completely pointless and almost impossible to win.

If death by police officer would be increased to like 3,000$ per death as of police instead of /GU, People would use excuse" HE DID NOT LET ME /GU" when they are being killed.

For example, yesterday I was chasing a guy for over half an hour.. I don't need to name who it was, I'll just say it was a semi-regular.

What did I abuse by /kill? tell me.

I was alone in water, without any possibility to climb somewhere, I had previously crashed on the bridge.. (before that I had /spawnreset to LVPD... which I thought I would spawn at.. as I had forgot that I had crashed earlier.) (It's not /spawnreset on the bridge as I've said earlier.. I had forgot :P)

PS: I was not dead, and even if so, cops can return to a situation :)
