SA:MP Argonath Roleplay explanations

[RobbyMeister]

"Playing corrupt cop? Nice..."

[LoveMeister]

It's good that they remove the bikes, apart from Freeway, no one can really Pwn on a Freeway as they can on a Sanchez etc  :cool:

[Pandalink]

I am very sad to see the Wayfarer gone, is there any chance of that being replaced?

[John_Vaughan]

I will suggest something too...

First (Police):

I would like to let you guys know (The community) that generally, when we see someone just doing a minor offense, like speeding or reckless driving, they evade almost every time.

This is not what the server should be, it is turning the server into a "Cops and Robbers" server, which is not what we want. If you are going to evade from a little offense like that, you should have a RP reason, not just because you are bored and want to start a chase. I could only pull over 2 of about 40 people.... The rest of those people will just start running away. Even when we do simple traffic stops, we get people evading from us, which causes us to call in more units. So I suggest that you pull over when a cop is trying to pull you over. All you will possibly be getting is a simple ticket, you wont be arrested. And if you do evade, we will take it to a higher level, and you will be possibly get arrested and/or fined. I am hoping that you guys will understand this and keep it in mind.

Also, when ever we do pull someone over, or we are dealing with a issue beside the road, we get random people stopping in the middle of the road, and then sometimes honking their horns, and just watch what is going on. We tell them to go away, they sometimes leave, or just stay there and honk their horns. Just staying their and not talking is considered non-rp.

Remember, this is a Roleplay server, and we do not want to be chasing everyone constantly for a pointless reason. It may be fun, but it can ruin everyone elses roleplay experience.

I know I am not ARPD, But I just want to help more the police roleplay...


Second:

In most RP cases (Lets take Robbery as example), IRL, When someone robs you, the robber points a gun at you, You would shit your pants and would give what he wants... Some victims are clowns who think they are funny, and do this:

* John_Spartan hits him and runs (1)

* John_Spartan takes his gun by force (2)

(1) = IRL If you do it, You must have the guts... Cos the robber CAN stand up again after the hit and he will anyways shoot and kill ya

(2) = Dont pretend to be Jackie Chan, Superman or a Martial Arts Expert... You would shit your pants with just thinking in it... the fact that u did this /me  cmd, does NOT mean that you did it, You may TRY to do it, But if he can beat ya, He will do... so this is powergame

If you wanna refuse robbery, You shall have guns too, and point them to him...


Here are some examples of the non RP that some members do, and here are some advices to make their RP Better

[Gandalf]

Another thing about RP is being creative.... It is incredibly boring when you are robbed by 10 guys and kidnapped 5 times a day.

So find new ideas, new solutions...the most fun are unexpected situations.

If there is a robbery and you do not want to give a lot send it $1 at the time...tell that is all after $5 and see if the robber is after money or after RP.
Try not robbing people but begging...
Try to sell them imaginary products...

i remember a story that i heard from ron about this, you Gandalf was being robbed and you would !send robber 1 then did !911 until the cops came, i remember those good old days  

[Kitsune]

I have an few issues to bring up:

-Confession at church
I have seen many times what I consider is command abuse. From what I remember of what Gandalf or RON said (please correct me if I say something that is not 100%), the church was designed because there was a problem with admins having /uncrime so it was made for suspects who have been suspect abused or bugged so they can go to church and confess the remove the crime. I also heard from other players that it is meant for this purpose. The problem is, 90% of the time from my cop work, people do not go there because they got abused, they simply go there to remove suspect. There were numerous circumstance where the suspect was suspected legitly and he/she did not have a problem with the crime but, even while multiple cop just chasing 30 meters behind the suspect, he/she quickly go to church and confess. This not realistic and is not at all fair to the cops, waste all that time chasing suspect only to have him/her confess.

I think that it should be made that church is only for suspect abuse or bugged suspect, not to evade crimes, especially when cops are still chasing you.

-Hiding in locked property to avoid police
Before you read this, note that this is similar to what Aragorn said initially except it is for any interior, not only the ones the have bars so you can buy food (I don't know this, can you eat food in your house?)

I have had times where suspects where being chased by police but then they go and hide in a locked place like a house and the police have to wait outside, with no way for cops to access the suspects. I have heard from some people that there is a rule against this but I do not know if this is true. I know that there is meant to be a /strum command to open a locked door if suspect is inside, but it doesn't work and asking civilians to pick lock the house doesn't work either, both situations give message "House is not locked" where it clearly is locked.

I know that probably the developers working hard and maybe trying to get this fixed, but in the mean time, are suspects allowed to hide in interiors and lock them to avoid police?

[Fatboy_Rob]

are suspects allowed to hide in interiors and lock them to avoid police?

Nope.


:ps: Ghost you play SA now?

[Kitsune]

Yeah, I got "bought" SA a few days ago :banana:

For A player who has only ever play Argonath on MTAVC, SAMP looks pretty kool, I like how there are a lot more posibilites with the SA and PAWNO, I now stopped playing Cop in MTA for a while and am playing as Cop in SAMP, thumbs up to devs (even though a bit buggy :poke:)

[John_Vaughan]

COME IN ARE SERVER FOR THE 2nd BEST RPG  :m4: :sig:
Removed.

Lol... GTFO and Dont spam our forums, I know you are Jealous of Argonath, But please dont spam

BTW, I wonder in how many days that server will be down 

[PMP]

ssssshhhhhh but it does not work with bikes.

lol, how do you lock a bike?
He could freeze the player though. like the bike's wheel's being looked.

And Hayden flee in a bike today. Nice example -.-'

Other thing, what about situations like when someone jacks your car, you hop in on a friends car and bothe go after the guy, but hes wanted and cops are chasing him too. He should stop chasing the car robber?

About chase helpers, cant cops just suspect them for aiding criminals? (that's the standard procedure in VC)

[Fatboy_Rob]

Possible, but, where do you see  people locking their bikes?

Well, pimp, as we had a hacker cop chasing me, some guy drove up on a PCJ, honked twice, and i jumped on, we went to SF and confessed.

Yes, you suspect the other guy for 'Aiding and abbeting'

4. Due to the possibilities of Pay-N-Spray, is NOT allowed to change numerous cars being chased... We gave this possibility on MTA server (5 cars in chase) due to the absent repairing system... As SA:MP gives you a possibility on repairing a car - use this possibility... Those who will abuse numerous cars being chased - will be punished by administration...

In that case, what's the new car limit for SAMP? Today, Hayden ran in 5 cars. However he resprayed many times, and the continious chase went for 1.5hours. It became really frustrating to many cops like me as he did not stop to make an attempt to fight and just continously ran in his car and resprayed when his car lost hp and also refueled a quick 10 or 20 at fuel station. Though he surrendered in the end, it was a rather boring chase and during the chase, we get frustrated about him running and also frustrated about fellow cops accidentally ramming each other because they were all desperate to try and catch him.

Also, is there a limit to how many times you can rerpray your car?

[Fatboy_Rob]

how was it boring? lol
in between each car i was on foot screwing with you guys...
you dont remeber when we were near the south PnS and we you guys kept jumping over the wall when i was jumping on the opposite direction?
yea, screwing with you guys.
Driving around all day is not fun at all, why do you think i was roof jumping in south ganton & stuff? why do you think i was driving circles around you guys and scrambling you guys, to have some fun? lol...

and it was fun, cause it was a citywide 9 car cop chase on me for an hour and 45 minutes.

Just like MTA ~ 5 cars, but its not so enforced.
SA:MP ~ Possibility for respray ~ 5 car limit ~ Very enforced.

[Kitsune]

I don't mind normal car chases but it is not fun if it lasts for too long, such as today, 90 minutes = =

In that circumstance the only person who would be having fun is the suspect :|
