Title: Refunding [IMPORTANT TO PLAYERS - READ PLEASE]
Post by: Duel on September 01, 2012, 03:07:25 pm
Right, today an occasion occured when the server had crashed, and everyone had returned and 'lost' there weapons.

Lets get this straight;
Admins do not give out refunds, as we are instructed not to by HQ.

So, before you go around raging on mainchat that administrators are not doing there jobs because you never got your weapons back, you should rethink, and not talk about what you have no idea of.

Our procedures are not to give out ANY refunds in a server crashed, and I have confirmed this with Murt.

So, don't go around accusing administrators of "not doing their job properly".

Our job is not to refund you because you lost your weapons.

99% of all roleplay should not even include weapons, buy them at own risk and be aware of what Duel has written here.

Nobody doesn't even roleplay nowadays. I'm not complaining or whining about it, its the truth. All of the newcomers must have an example, and they're example is a bunch of gang members shooting randomly... All that matters today are three things, MONEY, WEAPONS and KILLING. Thats SAD. We need to give an example...

Please don't turn this into another of the endless moaning topics... If you think people don't role play start inspiring them and creating your own role play situations (not saying you don't nowadays).

Good thing to remember Duel. I always ask the guys who ask for refund if they have any proof that they had those weapons, it usually brings them back to reason.

If you don't like endless moaning topics you can leave. Oh and yeah. People roleplay. Rarely. Or not at all. I'm doing my best, what about you?

This is not a moaning topic but a notification. On the other hand, do not disrespect other members as it is not in your authority to tell others to leave a particular topic.
I'm quite sure most of us have a certain vision on roleplay.

See for yourself, I don't brag about my Role Play scenarios  :) I don't like those topics because they bring nothing new or any new ideas... I mean decent ones.

Can you give some examples to us instead of telling "guns is not needed for roleplay."? Every "fun" roleplay involves action for us, and no, we, the majority, are not like you roleplaying banking papers and jumping Olympics around LSPD.

Creativity is key here. Those who get the respect of players (not other "pewpewpew combat shotgun DMinger have lastname so killing other guys in enemy name is kool biznes") are the ones who use imagination for role-play. Those who need guns for roleplay are seriously lacking in the creativity department.

You see all the cops vs robbers actions? Exclude that and you get your answer.

And the so-called RP DM between rival (and sometimes friendly) groups.

I only met very few players, who deathmatch directly, probably around 3-4, during my years on Argonath. People who choose to use weapons/action in a different way, are creative according to me. Examples, brawl in a gangfight instead of guns, terrorism, whether it be building siege or hostage situation. If people judge against these type of roleplay as deathmacthing, they themselves are the cause for the lack of roleplay on Argonath.

So you telling me, that a if a member is attacked by the opposite faction, let say, Corleone raids Gvardia bar, Gvardia retaliates with violence, it's RP-DM? If you mean groups, who just attack other for being Mexican for example, then i can agree upon.

One of the reasons why i avoid cops is because of it, good sir. SRU anyone?

SRU closed more than a year ago, please try again.

What Janek is pointing out is this kind of situation:

Hello I Progliano you're Nooboni so I war you. *Epic shootout at some turf*

1 day later:

Hi we're Nooboni you attacked us yesterday, so die maybe. * Epic Shootout*

And this is all a big snowball.

The people from SRU are still here and they continue the legacy of Ben Samiir (  :lol: ). Oh, the new called "SWAT" are very very similar to SRU, i for once, was welcoming it, but now i see why Nexxt and some other ARPD people were against them.

Guys need to figure out that it's a game. And yes games do stuff up from time to time but, the important thing is. It is not real life, should it matter that you've lost your weapons? the money on this server is not real, doesn't need to be saved. Why do you think the community is " A World of its Own"? because it is..it's not the real world so you should have no worries, do as you like (within the boundaries of the rules) and have fun! no point whining and going on about money in a game!

Yep, one thing is not to take ANY game very seriously, it opens to many disastrous roads, and one event can only stop that person, if a traveler comes along and hopefully, is kind enough to help.

This is about refunding purposes, not your personal moan topic. Please, if you have any questions just say it here, don't start an argument or "who is better at RP" and "who is not"

I advise all players to read this.

As Duel mentioned, we do not give out refunds. I remember a few months ago (when still having my rights), I refunded only those who got abused via /su, everything else would be their own fault (say failed /namechange or buying a ton of weapons then dying). Here is a good tip, never carry weapons worth more than 10k at a time.

Perhaps players should keep in mind that once in a time if an admin refunds them, it's with his OWN funds.. that doesn't mean it will rehappen..

And as for the roleplay part, not to whine or something, but I always prefer words (roleplay) than.. war. (shotout) so that's why at least my self, always tend to roleplay more rather than 'pew pew' every criminal I see.. I prefer approaching them even if suspected on foot, and telling them enirely friendly that I happent to see their name on wanter list of MDC etc.. and rather use guns or something that both sides may not want..

Indeed. Nowadays everyone carries weapon, at least even 9mm (Even if its just a little tiny weapon which does almost nothing IG, RL its powerful.)
But this is the way some choose, I ain't saying that all are does shootout RP but, be aware of this.

To the topic, Duel is completely right, moaning every time about refunding your lost is not necessary. Every time server crashes you always moan over and over but never learn that you will receive anything.
Lets cut the spam and flooding and the rage all over the server and consider that, its just a game.
Admins will do every time the best to help you, but you lead them into situation which they couldn't do anything, higher administration team said no, so no.
Good doing topic about that.

Well it seems as if players are forgetting, and if they don't get a refund, they start provoking the administration because we not doing our job properly if we don't refund them.
