SA:MP Argonath Roleplay explanations

[PMP]

Correction: In MTA you can shoot tires and as well you can shoot down a biker even if he is on bike...
On SA:MP bullets do not do any damage...

Glad that in VC:MP there are bugs like that, to bad people don't play it.
AD: New streetrace script will be out with the new release!!!!!

About Pay N Spray:

In my opinion, if you want to use it, you must do it in a RP way.

"How is that, Wata?"
Simple. The way I face the Pay N Spray is as if it is a Mechanic. IRL, there are Pay N Sprays, but they don't do the job in 2-3 seconds like in SA.

So, in my point of view:

It is suitable to use the Pay N Spray when you crash your car into a wall, for example: "Oh noes, my beautiful turismo, I won't be able to go to the party with a trashed car" Then you get repaired.

It is suitable to use the Pay N Spray when you are a criminal, but NOT being chased. You don't need to stand there for hours. But:

It is NOT suitable to use the Pay N Spray when you are a criminal, and you are being chased. The explanation is simple: IRL, Not even a crew of F1 Mechanics would repair an entire car in 2-3 seconds. While your car is being repaired, and that would take several hours, maybe even days, and the Police would break into the garage.

So, the conclusion:

The use of Pay N Spray requires that the player uses common sense to decides whether if it's good RP to use the Pay N Spray or not, for the sake of an enjoyable game for everyone.

Sorry for the bad english and the bump.

One thing is Painting, other is replacing all of the car's parts.

Ok, the only thing in a car for the SA PayNSpray that would take days over is the motor, the rest is easy to get through. IT's been said plenty of times that Argonath is not a Real-Life RPG, but if you want to play that car, then show me a police chase were the suspect successfully used 5 different cars one after another.

[Trobby888]

MrErks, if you had read this thread carefully, an example of a successful 5 car chase one car after the other has already been given.

In samp, people can easily run in 5 cars. When they lose a car by accidentally flipping or throwing it in water, they can jump continously to another car to get away. Jumping is common in the game , as it helps your character go faster than it's top running speed. However it helps you gain advantage as cops cannot shoot and jump at the same time, thus making it easy to run to another car, and take it to run away again. The help of the pay and spray makes each car run even longer, making it possible for chases to last up to 2 hours by the 5 car rule.

And think about it, guys. When I go to a pay and spray to repair my car, it takes only 2 seconds, then i can take the car out and drive it as if it was a newly bought car. Where's the RP in that? How can a car have it's parts, and paint colour all done in just 2 seconds? Pmp mentioned it takes 1 minute to repaint the car, but even this is 30 times longer than 2 seconds. In real life, if you take your car to a repair shop, it'd take hours, and maybe even days to repair the car. By then, cops would already be storming you and trying to arrest you.

Not of you have bolt-on car parts.
You live in japan, you know about the import scene.

All bolt ons if you have a team (pay & spray has the BEST team) you can get that job done in about 4 minutes tops.

  What makes you think I live in japan? I live in Australia, and I'm not even Japanese!

lol... nice try, he is aussie.

And having endless bolt-on car parts sounds like PGing to me.

[Alsatian]

ok ok im in Corleone right, i protect my "brotherin :P" and will, so if i see them being chased by cops, IRL mafia members would rush to their aid, so your saying that you cant do that anymore for Better RP, ???? i dont get it, why?

[Wael90]

About bikes stuf...i really loved NRG-500 =/ Even though criminals used them to go away...
But still..Officers can use Police Bikes + shoot at criminals if they own a machine gun with no difficulties...Kinda hit the balance in the face in my opinion...But oh well nothing happened i always prefer cars pusruits^^ Only thing is that i loved chilling out with a bike hehe...Where is this Freeway spawned btw?

[Paroxysm]

8. Playing corrupt cop? Nice... But remember, that does not mean you can swear and flame criminals on public... Wanna tell him that you do not give a fuck - find the right place for it, avoid the police forces, otherwise, police has all rights to remove your badge through the Courts... Attacking criminals with weapons with excuse "I am corrupt cop" is also not allowed... Only in the cases when both sides really roleplaying and accept some actions from other side... The same goes to "corrupt slang"...

I tried to play as a Corrupt Cop a couple times and it never works, because if you say something to them, they just write /p Parox is threating me!!!!...It's really annoying when people can't RP  :redface:

The corrupt cop thing is sensitive, cause we cops have a great responsibility and confidence to the civilians. U can try dealing drugs as cop, but ull have the feds breathing in ur neck that fast

[Pandalink]

Corrupt Cops are just people who don't want to pay for guns, and want to be invincible to the /suspect command.

I once had two criminals in Angel Pine (I was a Cop), and a "certain someone" (now banned) was a Cop there. It didn't, you know, occur to me to ask him "Yo, you corrupt?" because, well, that would be stupid.

He did however shoot me dead without saying anything, only explaining in /p afterwards. Also, no /suspect command or money etc. for taking him down.

Meh, only stupid people would do that anyway, and think it was within the rules.
