POLL - AFK Firemen are an unfair advantage.

He said...

The server desperately needs as much money as possible dumped into the player economy as soon as possible.

Anything that helps that happen is a good thing.

[murdoxix]

Someone complains about "unfairness" when he works as a fireman and some AFK people might actually helped him get a max payout of $5K (which for the record, is already heavily nerfed)? I've seen a lot of complaints, but this one's new...

He requested me one time to be fireman so he gets more money LOL...

Monte, can you just create a topic called "Monte's complain corner". Tired of reading a new one everyday. If you could also make a link to older ones for reference. Oh and top of that can you actually be productive? The only one with any productive nature is when I directly asked you to provide something. Most of these are just rants.

On the topic; I personally don't know the script so I can't tell you how accurate your statement is. However, if it is true then certainly if a fireman is in LS and the fire in lets say SF and they are AFK or not clearly participating then they shouldn't get any pay or degrade the payment of others. That's just common sense.

RS5 has / is finishing the parts needed to run a functional economy, only one thing is missing... money. Once you introduce that to the player base, the rest will follow. Have you already taken Economics?

what

More money in circulation is a good thing.

More firemen online means that the missions give more money overall, which means more money enters circulation.

[LoHi]

IMO it should determine the payout from the amount of firemen participating in the mission (aka extinguishing fires).

I don't understand why a fireman's main ambition is to earn money, the department should focus on creating role play scenarios and improving communications with other agencies. What I actually saw was people abusing the new ladder system, car jacking each other, crashing around the light post and acting unprofessional. When the fire alarm rang, no one communicated the location of the fire over the radio, the medical staff was ignored when he attempted to speak to the FD. I hope the current ARFD Officials talk about these types issues with their staff and teach them how to act, implement some regulations etc...

Because it is currently very much the only way to earn money.

We would have done that very long ago, the truth is - we hardly have any control on unofficial ARFD firemen, that is, volunteer firefighters. The managment of Argonath has not given us any authority over them, which means our command staff can handle only people who are official SAFD members.

This. This is one of the contributing factors to the chaotic nature of fire duty; lack of a dedicated overseeing body that exercises central control (with authority). At least when cop was the most lucrative scripted job, ARPD (still) could copban those who did not follow duty regulations, in addition to server rules.

The admins are there to stop people who use fire duty's tools to harm others and abuse the rules, but unless management changes regulations so as to force a smoother fire duty, even admins can hardly do anything about the self-centered and chaotic nature of fire duty.

Exactly.

Oh, and by the way, I back up what Teddy said. You keep posting all of these topics and none of these are actually productive and most of them are plain troll intented, just like your in-game behaviour. Can't you notice that most people in this community are annoyed by you? Your constant harrassing of people just that you can have some fun? Your constant nonsense in public chat? I'm sorry for this outburst, but someone had to say it.

Believe me, he knows! He's a great guy tho.

I agree 100% with you.

You're calling out JDC on this, but you defended SugarD earlier in that other thread when Abraham did the same?
What's wrong with you?

What I said was directed at Monte, not at JDC..

You should probably be clearer about that before posting things that aren't true.
