[Guidelines] Extended Information about Forcing Roleplay

[[NP]Monte Montague]

I would suggest you quit the server if you are going to go AFK at a populated location, especially gangster territory. At the very least, press ESC or alt tab so other players can see the hour glass and know you are AFK. If you just simply leave your game running and return surrounded by gangsters, that is your fault. The gangsters did not know you were AFK, therefore they roleplayed with you thinking you were there. If you fail to respond, that might only upset them.

If you did quit the server or showed your hour glass, then you would expect that the gangsters would not interact with you during that time. When you return, they will continue as usual. Getting robbed in gangster territory is not uncommon, and running away will probably result in you being shot at. Remember that next time you decide to run through that area.

That and stay away from LSPD also.
You could be suspected if not with the hour glass for refusing to comply with police.
It's happened before.

At-least with the Horu glass you'd be kicked for afk as suspect even if you were abused this way, you'd not die or lose your stuff.

Fair points by all, thanks for the clarification. Will ensure I apply these best practices to avoid sticky situations.

I really liked reading this topic, I think there is always a grey area in roleplay. I think it is important all the parties involved have a choice.
Really good explanations in the first post.
