Title: question about joining
Post by: Tony_Fromunda on August 20, 2007, 10:34:51 pm
Greetings,I run a decent sized website and my members are interested in this game,we are highly organised and efficient at what we do.My question is what is the policy here on large player gangs,I would like to know before I commit my crew to playing to avoid any trouble since some GTA servers frown on such a large organised group,when I say large there are about 20 of us.We RP an organised Crime Family and have done so on many other games like Ultima Online and World of Warcraft ect and we are looking at new gta servers since dm servers get boring very quick and would like to run our playstyle with some rp elements.
are we welcome here?

I posted this in the wrong forum I meant to be in the SA forums.

Hey and welcome to the community of Argonath,

I'm pretty sure you're welcome here, as long as you've read the rules.

What server are you planning on ? (MTA,SAMP?)

Cheers & hope to see you ingame,

SAMP and crime and criminal activities.we usualy play it y ear until we know they lay of the land then proceed from there as for plans we keep those in the family until they are executed,land grabs, market cornering anything possible.Like I said we are very good at what we do which can ruffle feathers and I posted to find out if we are welcome because of that.we are not hackers or DMers and will abide by the server playstyle rules,but like I said we are a very organized and large group so you may see us start to filter in over the next few days since the water seems cool enough to swim in.

Welcome to Argonath!
Hope you have a really good time here.
But this is not a DM server. Argonath RPG is a Elite RPG server.

Cheers,
-Andre

Check out the "SA:Gangs and groups" and add your clan there. Add some other info about it! Id like to see another big group like Corleones.

Good luck in Argonath

You should understand that GTA RPG server is not about shooting only...
If your gang wanna join for teaming battles - better chose deathmatch servers...
If houses, business, fun and meeting new friends - Argonath RPG...)))

Anyway we are a lil less strict form then many other servers...

Hope, your gang will pawn dmers to make admins less busy...)))

several of us were on last night and from all appearances we had a good time ,one of ours ended up on the police force and chasing some of our illegal racers,which I aided by a daring helocopter getaway.we are going to use our site to promote you guys,we have a membership base of 165 people with 2000+lurkers and non members and an allied site that has 900 members and over 10thousand hits a day,word will get out about this server,expect more of us in increasing numbers,we play mostly at night when pops are low so it shouldn't increase server demands on you guys.
hope to see you guys ingame.

Welcome, we never mind to add a RPG group to our community. As for our resources, there is enough capacity to improve, limits are more about keeping the server manageable and playable.

Hi guys,
Looks like we won't be joining you guys after all.  We've been poking around on the server and already ran into some big problems.  Evidently one of my members scammed a drug dealer out of a ride under the guise that she would be buying drugs (RPing the whole way) and then squelched on her end of the deal.  Angry the dealer started shooting.  So naturally she shot back, the dealer turned out to be an admin and she was punished. 

Then another one of my players was attacked by three Colreones weilding knifes, stabbed to nearly an inch from death, the player fought back with a firearm and they reported her to the admins.  I'm completely OK with my crew being attacked, they're all capable of taking care of taking it.   :hit: I can see the reasons behind them being attacked from an RP standpoint, however I cannot understand why any of my people would be punished for defending themselves.   :eek:

We've been running into a considerable amount of this on other servers.  We checked out Valhalla last night and I watched 15-20 people get kicked/banned in less then 1 hour.  The guy next to me got banned for saying "dickhead", two of the 5-10 Fromunda crew that were on that night got kicked, one for paging an admin and the other for carjacking an unmarked cop car, which he didn't know it was one until he was in the driver's seat.

Out of the three RP servers we've seriously considered, we've run into the same problem across the board: poor judgment by the administrative staff.  Please take this as constructive criticism, I'm not trying to piss anyone off here but rather help you in the future.  I hope your server does well in the future and you're welcome to check us out if you need to contact us again in the future:

well if you ask me some admins are really strict and sometimes ban,kick or banana without time to appologize or warn, although i hope you stay and recommend this server, just try to play more by our rules and you will be fine. Have fun if you decide to keep playing on this server!

I'm the one that was attacked after the faked drug deal, and ganked by Corleones. This post isn't meant to piss you off, but take it whatever way you want. I experienced the following problems today while playing your server.

An advertisement came up for drugs. I called the dealer and said I was interested. He came to pick me up, I BS'd with him and got him to take me to Ammunation. I bought guns and armor, then got back in his car. He drove me to the docks, said "Are you buying? I'm not driving you around for nothing." I bailed and told him I wasn't interested anymore, and thanks for the ride. He got out of the car and starting punching and stomping me and said "If you shoot me you'll be kicked/banned!"

Tell me that isn't abuse.

I shot him, and was jailed for "Misconduct."

I was also ganked by three Corleones with knives while I was just standing by some trees, using the "/help" thing to see if there were neat things I could do. They cut me up, I almost died, and I had to jump into the water to escape them. When I shot at them [during the attack, before I jumped in the water] I got reported for "attacking without reason."

I was also carjacked by a cop in Los Santos, shot at by police and then told "This isn't a DM server" when I shot back. The icing on the cake was right when I had decided to log off for good, a cop came from over a hill, plowed me over with his car, got out and killed me with a shotgun. Then he went on his merry way. No words, no nothing.

Play by your rules? Hah...

Thats not good, guys. I am sure you are not angels here... Who was the admin?
Use [email protected] - it works

Im also part of Fromunda.. I played there last night and it definitely wasnt fun. There we about 10 or so police to the 2-3 other people.

It seems like half of your servers population at the time thinks being a Police Officer gives them a reason to DM people for some half ass reason.

Its just fucking ridiculous. Then some guy went on talking about masturbation for about a half hour.

If a guy pisses you off... /report id reason and admins will take their actions!
If a cop DM's you... /report id reason and admins will take their action!
If 1/2 server are cops, wait for 2.0 scriptversion.
Try to take things easier, i am trying to imagine 20 players who are now beating their computer

And admins are NO robots.

Don't like here? Leave

You say to be an RPG group. So lets take this as a real life situation. You call a drug dealer to buy drug from him. You let him drive you around town and then tell him 'no deal'. What do you expect he will do ?
I was also ganked by three Corleones with knives while I was just standing by some trees, using the "/help" thing to see if there were neat things I could do.

Did admins take any action ? The /report function is often abused, which is reason why people cry that admins do not take action when they use it.

I was also carjacked by a cop in Los Santos, shot at by police and then told "This isn't a DM server" when I shot back. The icing on the cake was right when I had decided to log off for good, a cop came from over a hill, plowed me over with his car, got out and killed me with a shotgun. Then he went on his merry way.

I did not see your nick in game. But we could check logs and wee which admins were online at the time.

He was lucky at that time not any of our main admins were in game.

Or any normal admin - masturbation is not a thing to be joked about!  :D

new Rolepalayers are always welcome , but one word of advice , dont let your clan get to big it will make it hard to manage and there is less of a comunity feelling

not saying im unhappy with our members (we had like 50 at our peak )Its like the saying goes one bad apple spoils the whole bunch

oh and let your members read the rules BEFORE they come on the server , this will prevent some problems , like others already told you we are a rp server ,if you just like shooting everyone there are a lot of Dm servers where you can nicely . (but why would you its BOOORINGG)

So be welcome and enjoy some nice RP

Oh one thing feel free to ask admins questions about our server/rules etc . thats what we are here for !
