Tasing players who are actively shooting (Rush Tazing)

[McGarrett]

Gandalf I got to admit. I do not mean to come across being disrespectful, but these people(as far as I understand) are not hired by you and got an income of doing it. They do it of free will because they see the greatness in what Argonath can become. As Devin said, you got 11 hours since December 2013. It seems to me that you do not actually care about Argonath. You seem ungrateful for what you have and you refuse to improve it to meet the standards of the players. I say, let the devs do as they wish. They know how Argonath can achieve greatness.

We are having a civil discussion about why tasers shouldn't be used on shooting suspects.

what?

Does it look like people are just here to clean their dirty laundry with one another and bring up old beef? That would be ridiculous!

Fully agree. Less RP is better. oh wait....

RP has hugely increased since RS5 and especially RS5.2, RS4 was freeroam, as has been said, come in game and see for yourself.

TBH I wish HQ/Gandalf would stop bickering at eachother, not picking sides, but I feel like the server isn't 'secure' if you know what I mean, feels like it's going to get ripped apart by arguing from those who lead it, stability please!

Do you count /me as a weapon? Hmm... with your brains probably it is...

I do wear glasses but I still don't see where I said that /me is a weapon. I said features. Nvm..

Gandalf mentioned 'em in his original post, you might have missed it

RP has hugely increased since RS5 and especially RS5.2, RS4 was freeroam, as has been said, come in game and see for yourself.

Had great roleplay on RS5 and so far 5.2 as well. Had better roleplay in RS4 and more often, though, and that had nothing to do with the script. It was hardly freeroam for me and roleplay was everywhere to be found. Stuff actually tends to be kind of dull in RS5 and 5.2, when you look at the general cohesion of things. The ''CnR aspect'' of RS4 everyone keeps talking about was hardly CnR, there were just a lot of chases and it was great. They often brought RP and if not, they at least brought some life into the scenery and gave an alternative to roleplaying in interiors for an hour, like many people like nowadays, for some reason.

Point is, it brought everyone in the community together, not just visually (which is also important in creating a cool atmosphere for everyone), but also by putting everyone on the spot. Playing together is something I don't see as much nowadays as in RS4. Groups tend to stick to themselves and even law enforcement seems to be fighting each other (FBI vs CIA for example) more than they're actually cracking down on the criminal groups.

Don't wanna help in the derailing of this topic too much, but in conclusion, RS5.2 is a great script and in many ways better than RS4, but I don't think the situation we're in as a community ever had much to do with the script. It's the general mindset or ''vision'' if you will (hint, hint), rules, and the way people respond to those factors and each other that counts, if you ask me.

A little more freedom would be cool, too. Theoretically, that is, because I haven't had to change anything about the way I play on Argonath myself in accordance to the new scripts and rules, yet. Overcomplication killed the cat, is how the saying goes, right?   

That old vision wasn't so crazy as many would like you to think, even now.

Cops should not use tasers to subdue criminals in active combat or brandishing weapons. We will not remove tasers but can work to find a better balance between their use and enforcing compliance.

Understand this: if a criminal is brandishing a weapon, a cop isn't going to reach for their taser. They will always use equal or greater force. This isn't rocket science. This is reality for the locale this game and our gameplay is based. I know so many people in my position before have shunned the concept of reality but I find no reason not to embrace it.

I am also locking this topic because it's nothing more than another avenue to moan. Moan, which I grow tired of and now going to start enforcing against. If you don't like it, tough. Don't bitch about, suggest improvements. The constant moaning needs to stop as it doesn't progress the community any, it only derails it. If you are unable to do anything but moan then we can gladly show you the door.
